The only real issue with mid engine is that you loose cargo space which then takes the car out of being a good daily driver.
I hope the vettes remain front engine, rear wheel or AWD. I would like to be able to have trunk space to go on trips etc...

The other issue with mid-engine is that they are a bitch to service. In the model posted, you would have to pull the engine to do just about anything.

These days, most of the FWD cars need to be on a lift to service them too as much of the motor is hard to access.
The old days of the shade tree mechanic are fastly going away.
