and round tail lights. I imagine there will be lots of speculation over the next few yrs as to what the C8 will look like, drivetrain etc.
I see it in the C7 also. I really don't think it's a coincidence either.

I have a book on corvette generations and one of the concept corvettes was called the aerovette I believe and it was mid engined and not a bad looking car either. Sometimes I wonder what would of happened if some of these concept cars would of came out as it would be similar to the change to the c4 handling and suspension. Falcon v12 is another car that comes to mind even though the engine is still up front.

It goes back way before C7. Every car magazine ever in print ran a The Next Corvette Will Be Mid-Engine article at one time or another. These stories usually included an artist's concept of some nature letting us know what the "new" mid-engined Corvette would look like.
