Get real Pal! Look at your location. San Francisco, the mere mention of that place makes normal people cringe or burst out in laughter, yeah that's right. How is the radical liberal thing working out for you Californians. It looks as if your only chance is the people in the red states which you seem quick to belittle will have to bail you out of the mess you are in.

Looks like it's working out just fine.

I have owned first year vettes from 4 of the 6 generations so usually am ready to jump when they introduce one but not inspired to do it this time from what I have seen.

From what the head corvette engineer said in the C&D interview video they had to stop the C7 design process twice because of the financial problems and were not able to do the mid engine design that they originally were shooting for in the new generation.
If Corvette ends up with a true mid-engine design, I will be turning my back on all future Corvettes from here on out. ALL of my car purchases over the past 10 years, have been front engine/ rear wheel drive platforms and that will not be changing anytime soon. GM would force me to look elsewhere

Opinions please.
Not with all of the $hit about C6 owners being posted by the C7 fanboys. It's starting **** many people off. And, these are the people who can actually buy a new Corvette.
