Would it?
One wrinkle in this plan is there already exists a national 'Vette organization,
with their already established byzentene classing structure. What would VS offer
them that their own club currently does not?
I'm neutral on VS, but I'd *strongly* advise talking to some Corvette Club
people before writing any rules on paper.
There's another possibility: P3 seemed to work pretty well this year; could
C(1..4) 'Vettes prepared to Stock Class levels be allowed in ESP?

Why not go further, make establishment of VS be contingent (heh) on having some
contingency support from some 'Vette related vendors. Then you solve the problem
of "what does VS do for me that my Corvette Club class does not?"
Although, from experience, vendors like to sponsor cars/classes that showcase
their products. You won't get (for example) Vortech supporting VS if their
products are illegal in the class.
Hey Roger, are you listening? Or how about Bruce Wentzel? What do you guys
think?
