My god this C3 retro talk makes me want to puke. Lets keep the car moving forward... Can't we get past the aqua velva, gold chain C3 yet? Ugly.
And I'd love a mid engine Vette by the way!

Yuck. 
I wouldn't buy either one. The one on the right looks like an old F-body 90's Camaro and the one on the left looks, well........just plain old ugly. I am so happy that GM keeps their new Vettes top secret so I at least know they won't look like that.

Yeah, I agree with one thing here, leave the "retro" for the car makers who are trying to make something-of-nothing, like they are.
A mid-engine Vette would further the evolutionary steps that it has been taking over the decades...
..although, i'm only 90% for a mid-engine car....I think the Vette should remain "America's Supercar", but should not enter into the world of the "Exotic"....maybe one "specialty" version, at some point.

i think a "poll" is in order here concerning the mid engine layout vs. the current front engine platform. if you remember the corvette history, zora arkus duntov tried for years to go with a mid engine layout but was always shot down due to corporate politics/policies. it would be really interesting to see a corvette finally go in this direction and see just what kind of world class supercar general motors could build.
