Getting in to the hot car was the first mistake.
When ever I open a car door and feel the rush of heat, I leave the door open until things cool down a bit. Or if the car starts and has AC, turn it on full blast.
72 yrs. of age is not old. Ask me how I know

Sorry mate, you're old 
I hope to post on page 10 of this thread.

Well......
If Nick is calling you old, you and Jesus must have hung out at the pub.
I think it would be an interesting test/experiment to:
Acquire a Corvette of this vintage.
Find a few volunteers that have never been in a Corvette.
Park the car out of view of the volunteers, open the door and then remove battery power via an already devised, hidden remote master switch/cable so the door latches are inop.
Seat a volunteer in the car and tell them to stay there and you will be back in a moment.
Shut the door.
Once out of view, set off simulated smoke devices under the hood and underneath the car.
See how many people get out in "X" amount of time before coming back to "rescue".
Realizing the possible/likely flaws in the list here. But, you get the idea.

Do we have to fake the smoke?

If I put you in a house you had never been in before and filled it with smoke it would be the same result, confusion. If I filled your house with smoke, I bet you know where the door is.
I wasn't talking about filling the car with smoke. I was talking about visible smoke to instill the need to escape in the mind of the occupant. Everything would be in clear view inside the car just as if there were no smoke at all. This isn't about betting what would happen. This is designed to see what actually WOULD happen. I'm not knocking the car, GM, or anyone here posting.
Who cares, fill it with kittens

The manual is in the glovebox, in the car, so...

If I kick the windshield out, will he be upset?

You are wrong.
I already told you about my friend who died in a fire in her own house because she couldn't figure out how to open the door.
Panic does weird things.
But I understand you are not actually reading anything I say, so that's OK.
I like apple pie when I watch women's soccer, but I generally refrain from eating kittens, except on special occasions.
I think I'll go cook a kitten pie.

Apples to oranges, you're assuming we've never been in a Corvette.
The owner had clearly been in a Corvette before, probably more than once.
All I know for sure is: If my family told the nation that I died, trapped in my own car, outside a Waffle House. I'd come back and haunt the bejeesus out of each and every one of them.

Huh? The only thing I was assuming is that you were joking to which I replied with a joking answer. Anyone reading this thread really wouldn't be a useful participant, now would they? The volunteers would be chosen for their lack of knowledge/familiarity of the car and this case, similar to picking a jury. My purpose for the experiment would be; if a person unfamiliar with this car was unable to open a door in this car due to an electrical failure in a possible life-threatening situation, how long would it take them to figure a way (or "the" way) out. Maybe all of them would be able to figure it out instantly. Maybe some would never figure it out. Only one way to find out.

Nah, its because this is so much better than climate change discussions.
