Default At Carlisle. Take a look

I was part of a focus group which for some reason I'm not allowed to speak about the contents of it so I will skip that part other than to say at the end me and 5 others we're giving these jackets as a thank you.




C7.

Notice the short front overhang and the high fast slope of the roof compared to the c7 or the Corvette Racing shirt rendering. Trying to tell us something. And the fact that rear of the car just stops. As if they showed you too much you'd have a really good idea of what it's supposed to be.

I and many others were given a black tee shirt with this front graphics as it appears and reversed to compare with your jacket. This was for filling out questionnaire at the Corvette Racing Venue.

The next generation Corvette isn't going to have any doors?

I have the shirts as well. The arc of the roof is different from tjat outline. I agree it is similar but it struck me how different it actually is.

Not sure if you're picking up what I'm puttin down

Hopefully the OP got some type of an idea if there is a Mid engine Vette coming.

I understand he signed a NDA so he can't really tell us much if he has any confirmation that there is a mid engine Vette on the way.

Heck it would be hard to know that there was one and not being able to share with fellow Vette enthusiasts who are anxious for any info on the rear mid Vette.

And it's going to weigh 4,000 pounds
And the trunk is going to be 1.5 cubic feet
And it's EPA rating is 12MPG
GM is adamant that they give you a new generation car to compare (and demean) to your C6Z06 every 5 years

According to those sketches, I cannot see where an engine is supposed to fit behind the driver.

Can you at least share the context of the discussion with us if you can't share details?

Also, who's really going to know if you share any news with us?
