I was going to mail 22 C8 preorder agreement and check to dealer coming up Friday. By chance I just talked to my insurance guy (which is also a friend as well as C7 grand sport owner) and asked him about the approximate difference in insurance between my current C7 and future C8. He said it was nominal which was good but also said he heard from a lot of people that the C8 is going back to front engine . If anyone has any info on that I would appreciate it. Called GM and was told no info was available and that I should contact my dealer. Seems odd to me ... they either go back to front engine or not. Why not answer my question....

I see this is your first post, welcome.
This place can be a tough crowd
The C8 is my first Corvette and I couldn't be happier. That's all I can tell you.
