Mid Engine Corvette should NOT be anything like a traditonal Corvette
It looks like you can install a Jacuzzi tub in the back of this car...
I just can't wrap my head around a corvette with those proportions....if they don't make a front engine along side the rear engine car (and I don't think they will after the C7 ends production), the soul of corvette will never be the same.
We will have "corvette" but it won't be a corvette. Sort of like pointing at a dog and telling people it's a cat. I am both sad and excited at the same time and I don't know which way I am leaning...

I HATE to say this but I don't like the looks, especially the rear deck. I do love the looks of my 2017 Z06/Z07,fully decked out.
The only thing that might change my mind is what powers it.
How ever with 650 HP I don't feel under powered anyway. This is
my very humble opinion. My Z is artic white

But would you really want the Vette to be Lambo-ish ?
Im not that old and I know I wouldn't want to be getting in and out of that thing every day.
I am hoping they get all the performance in a package that is as driver friendly as the current C7 if it will be the only corvette at some point. The c7 is a high performance daily driver. Bulls and Stallions- Snakes and GTs can't really do that... Comfortably. I hope they manage that miracle with the C8.
We will find out in a few months I guess.
In the meantime, I have my eye on a grand sport.

Push the car to the breaking point and not have cooling or automatic problems or any new problems associated with the new car.Find them and fix them before releasing the car.

Things do get kind of boring when everything is going good. We need something to fight for. If we were complacent, we would never advance. But there are plenty of things to fight for without actual combat. I think some world conflicts are just contrived in order to sell weapons or to suppress to maintain power and control. Send me to talk to Kim Jong-un. There will be peace. It's not hard.

I think some of the folks concerned about the rear of the test mule need to re-read "All Corvettes Are Red". We know that GM is famous for putting all kinds of Styrofoam under that camo. Also it wouldn't surprise me to find that a C5 or C6 bumper has been tacked on. It's just a test mule, not the real thing. When you see one without the camo and just the Zebra paint, like we've seen with some of the ZR1 pics, that's the time to get excited or depressed.
