Pretty cool - you think this is a test bed for a rear-mid-engined layout for the C7?

This is as close as we will get (for some time) of the ~2009 Corvette LMP1 concept, which still has a tunnel model displayed in the P&M lobby

We do know that and the answer is it is not a P&M chassis. See my post above which is a direct quote from Chevrolet that this new body will fit 3 current DP chassis.

Thanks Everett, any news that P&M intend to build a DP chassis in the future? My misunderstanding, I took your post to be a statement by you as an individual, and not GM proper.

No worries, and the closest thing in print I can currently find is a statement that GM worked closely with the 3 chassis makers. But I definitely heard them directly say it during the live video unveiling!

Waiting on possible 2012 sponsors.
It's looking good but it's the same old story..... it's not done until the check clears the bank.If we get the money, we will for sure get the new Corvette body and that will tie it in very nicely with my Corvette driving school.
Hoping to make the 24, but a couple of more weeks will tell.
