Mulling C8 Corvette 4.2-Liter Mid-Engine Details

But as he also notes, all of this is pure speculation. Albeit somewhat educated speculation.

“True, the biggest conjecture here is that they even build a mid-engine Corvette. I mean, we’ve seen the mules. And then there are those CAD renders, which could arguably be a hoax. 

That said, there are a lot of folks on here that seem to have a pretty good working knowledge of how things work around GM and Bowling Green. 

Me, I have no real freaking idea. My thoughts are simply based upon my basic knowledge of automotive mechanics and systems, general understanding of the automotive market, and the idea that within GM’s design and marketing, the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.”
