Now that Chevy has been well and truly BTFO by #ecoboost
Will we finally see a mid-engined Corvette?
>>
No, because the corvette isn't a super car like the gt.

Never.

The Corvette is a 'sports car' and not a 'supercar'. It's also a 'budget' car, so anything fancy like that won't make the cut.
It is literally a V8 engine and the best suspension they can get with their primitive technology, clad in vacuum-formed plastic.
A wonderfully American idea. I want one, if only so I can throw it around an empty runway. They look so much fun to drive.
And if I was rich enough to own a runway, I could just treat them as disposable anyway, and pay someone to follow me around in a van packed with fresh rear wheels and fuel cans.

>>15307641
why does moving the engine behind the driver automatically make it a 'supercar'?
>>
2018 Detroit auto show get hype
Spy shots and leaks should roll in about a year from now
>>
>>15308407
Because it's sure as hell not a 'budget sports car', and you don't generally find non-supercars that are mid-engined.
The obvious exception is Lotus, but they save money by skimping on car.

The Corvette has had a midship engine since the 2nd generation retard. What you want is a midship rear engine vehicle.

Blame GM not Chevy. Any time one of the brands wants to make something that isn't a parts sharing economy car GM will kill it.

no, the next iteration of the 'vette will have a 125 hp v12 with 9 [nine] turbo chargers on a crane mounted 3 feet from the hood of the car, will have a total of ~ 400 bhp, and will have a curb weight of 11,475lbs
