Why is it that this seems, at least to some people, to be
the only acceptable progression for future Corvettes? |
Won't be long now! [sarcasm]

What to be gained is moment of inertia.

I wonder what's to be gained since the weigh bias of the C7 is actually to the rear already.

His comments never actually say there will be a mid-engined car from Chevy or Cadillac. Just that if there were one from Chevy, it would make sense for Caddy to piggy-back off it. |

C8 is minimum 3 & more likely at least 4-5 years out. Read online today a Cadillac mgr stating that a Cadillac/Corvette mid-engine partnership has been discussed seriously, but maintains nothing in actual development.
Along the same lines, there's a large construction project slated to begin fairly early next year at GM-Bowling Green. Contractor bids have been requested and preliminary material take-offs have been sent out for quotation. This is probably for the new paint shop, but I've seen a couple of the steel bid lists & they seem pretty large for just that. |

It was stated back when news on the new construction came out that it is Not just for a new Paint shop. I think GM would like to improve the paint, but doubt they're going through all this expense and effort just to improve the paint :lol: :cheers: |
The one thing that I'm pretty sure about is that there WILL be a C8. Mid-engined? I have my doubts.

My thinking is two platforms Front stingray Z06 front/rear driver and a high end mid engine super car that Cadillac would also share.
IF. I'm still not convinced there will ever be a mid-engined Corvette. Quoting Tadge: Why do you think Corvette has been able to stay around for so long when the rest of the domestic auto industry has struggled? It’s staying true to the mission of the car. Corvette has had its moments where it almost died. I don’t want it to seem like we’ve had a free ride the whole way. But if you look at other vehicles that are successful long term, they tend to stay true to their mission. They don’t try to wander off and be something they’re not. There are plenty of examples where cars tried to get bigger, or go from four passengers to two, or tried to migrate upmarket. They get cocky and think, “Wow, we could sell these things at a much higher price — let’s do an upscale version.” That doesn’t work. You have to stay true to what you are. |
