Even your link to CorvetteBlogger is misleading, for nothing in that article points to an imminent release, only to an imminent ZR1 release. To quote from your CorvetteBlogger link:



As to the rest of your linked CB article, it only refers to the ZR1 at Dubai.
The whole point of this thread is to give people a heads up about an upcoming reveal in Dubai. I shared what I was told, that my source and their colleagues believe it to be the ME Corvette. There is a chance it could be either one, and let's leave it at that.

The GM ME reveal should be done on the international stage and FE should debut right here in the good ol' USA.

No one is acting and I never said I knew for sure. I really appreciate your contribution. Thank you!

My opinion is based on the idea of product markets.

An FE won't go over nearly as well as an ME internationally.
Large front engine track cars aren't a big draw across the waters.
How many ACRs were exported?
Exactly, not many...

MEs are an entirely different kettle of fish.
The exotic manufacturers and their MEs are very well known over there.

How many corvettes are sold in Dubai? Luring in oil seeks?

WTF?

Bottom line... any new Corvette that's revealed within the next 1-3 months would be the FE C7 ZR1... and/or other iterations of the FE C7.

Any total/official reveal of a ME Corvette C8 will likely be 12+ months out.

The great news here is that it looks like the legendary ME Corvette myth will actually become a reality within the next 1-2 years!

That supercharger top is a match to the leaked photo from Conti.
