Maybe when salt water costs $4/gallon.

The C8 will be powered by ground unicorn horn and fairly dust.

Yes, the silence is coming, so stay thirsty my friend. Until then continue with your gas guzzlers.

Washington lobbyists would never let that car hit the market. Assuming of course it's even possible

I certainly hope not. It doesn't bear much resemblance to a Corvette

I think you are looking into the future of Corvette. I think the C8 will be a hybrid engine, and have lines similar to what you see here. You can flame me, but the next generation Corvette will be smaller and I think mid-engine.

It may be far fetched to think of the Vette like that now, but in 5-7 years when the new generation is ready, who knows what they will come up with. Probably not one that runs on salt water, but some form of hybrid could very well be an engine option.

Why would you think that, it's not built by GM?

I think it will be a combination of electric and a turbo V6 (gasp I know) for fuel economy and low end torque.
