The article clearly stated that the Zora would be a C8!

hope i am around in 15 years to see what the hot cars are going to be
That's for the whole fleet. Same thing was said 5 years ago and 10 years ago. The vette gets very good gas mileage. The corvette really doesn't effect gms fleet numbers so its really not a big deal. And the cafe standard won't do much to hurt manufactures most companies offer a crap load of **** boxes that get great gas mileage so it will aging be no biggie just like it always has been..of course this is just my opinion...and people that think there will be a. mid engine vette are the same people who think it will get awd and a rear seat
