GM Approves C8 Mid-Engine Corvette for 2019
http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/...ette-for-2019/
“The mid engine was signed off on last week, a 2019 with 3 or 4 models, top of the line being the “Zora” and I swear rumor has it 1500 HP. They will try to compete with the Ferraris and Lambos (an probably at their prices) ……anyway it will be debuted at the Detroit Auto Show in Jan 18.”
“They will also definitely run the C7 thru 2019, simultaneously.”

I believe that the only way it would have 1500 HP would be a Hybrid Gas & Electric. Just my opinion.

No no no, everybody is wrong. It has a stealth mode **** that makes it invisible. So horsepressure isn't a problem because it will beat anything. You know the old joke about the gun fighter being so fast "you want to see it again?"

I wish I had that invisible mode so I wouldn't be seen in my AMC Pacer!Intersections and lane changers would be a bitch though.
