I expected the mid-engine Corvette test mule news to cause an emotional backfire from Corvette Forum members. I thought there would be a large contingent that would get all “the sky is falling” up in the threads. I was wrong.

As the Car and Driver spy shot above demonstrates, it looks more likely than ever that there will, in fact, be a mid-engine C8 Corvette.

Best-looking rendering I’ve seen of any possible future car.
