    Y'all do realize that there has been work on a mid-engine Corvette going on and off since Zora was alive. Although Dave McLellan said there was one Corvette Chief Engineer who was NOT interested in a mid-engine Corvette. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a production mid-engine Corvette.

      $150.000 for a mid engine??? Now your in the used Ferrari price range. And they have been building them for a long time. 2015Zo6 sounds better.

        They're still a little shocked over there in Warren after the Blue Oval stole the show with a mid engine. The bar was raised.

          The Blue Oval & Bow Tie (I prefer the blue Bow Tie to the yellow) wars have always resulted in more performance for consumers. And yes I like seeing domestic in the spot light over any foreign crap.

            By the time C8 debuts, if it doesn't have electric motors at each wheel it risks being blown off the road by all the electric commuter cars. Think about how embarrassing it is now when a Tesla shows up at the local drag strip...

              The author of that article doesn't know much about Corvette History. The mid engine manufacturers have been kicking GM's butt for over 30 years. New Technology-not a chance! But it does work! Even Ford had a mid engine car 30+ years ago!

              Emilo Pardo came up with the best rendering! Used an old idea didn't he? Check out the Headlight Buckets!
