More C8 Speculation...
#2
I'm pretty sure you just posted an old picture of a 2014 C7 being tested....
From Automobile magazine, in fact...

No this is said to be a new photo taken a month ago. Look at the lower rocker panels, they are totally different.

I looked at the picture with my iPad, expanded the rocker area, behind the front wheel seems to be expanded somewhat and forward of rear wheel well is flared out, wider tires? Although the C7 mule could of evolved as testing progressed and the design was changed prior to production. The front fenders seem higher, could be part of the camouflage though. If the C8 introduction is scheduled for around 2019, we should be seeing more test cars in the near future.

Nothing about that profile says "mid-engine." Not even a source for the photo? Good try.
Edit: Here's an old C7 test mule. Look familiar?
And then there's this one, from 2012. Looks vaguely familiar:

With Google image search, I don't know why anyone wouldn't check things like this out first. It took me all of 3 minutes to find the exact same image from 3 years ago.

Nice meeting you Zora.

Folks should look at this pic and see what a mid-engine car looks like - especially in the front. I like mid-engine cars, but there is no variant of this that will look like any Corvette generation you've ever seen. Corvette has always had a long front-end but a Zora won't have that (although I'm sure you'll still have the space for 2 golf bags.) I also bet the car will continue to have a wide rear end so it won't end up looking like a 911, but I predict it will look a lot more like a Ferrari or Lambo than a Corvette does today.
I'm OK with it, but think of the uproar over round taillights but 10x greater.
