At Carlisle and I have some news come on in
 

Well... I asked because I needed to know. The answer I got was very pleasing in relation to storage space. I asked someone who has become a friend over the last couple of years and knows everything there is to know about the ME car if in 2 or 3 years I could still buy a front-engine rear-wheel-drive Corvette because I don't want to lose my storage space it's not what I want out of my Corvette and the answer I got was pretty gloomy sounds like it's going to be negative Which flies in the face of everything I was told prior.

but I was told Flatout straight to my face not to worry about storage space it will be a non-issue and I was very skeptical it was then elaborated that you could fit two golf bags in the new car and you're going to be very happy at which point I advised this person I was going to The Bash this year and they confirmed by saying you're going to love the batch this year that's all I can say.

I guess this is good or bad based on perspective. If a mid-engine car can fit two golf bags, it likely needs to be a BIG car. That isn't a good thing for a sports car. Hopefully GM has simply come up with an ingenious way to find storage space and keep the car small... otherwise, I think a lot of people will be more disappointed with the size of the car than they would be to lose a bit of space on a sports car. Size and performance/driving characteristics don't often go hand in hand. Bigger is not always better. I want a car that feels small, is light weight and has driving characteristics that come from that. I personally don't care if I can get two sets of golf clubs in the car. If I need to do that, I'll drive my BMW or my wife's Lexus to the course. So, like I said, it's really about your perspective as to whether this is good or bad news.

Really hoping GM just came up with a way to achieve both.

See... that's just good use of space in the Gallardo. Hoping that's what GM does with the C8 too rather than just more size.

^ +1, 720S size would be great..

I really hope it isn't a primary concern for designing this car. Gotta have some cargo space, but I'd rather they make it so you can fit some overnight luggage vs a giant golf bag. Don't you guys play at courses where they store your clubs on site????

Shouldn't we be more concerned about cup holders and makeup mirrors? Adjustable lighting on the makeup mirrors for that Kiss concert are a must!

I don't envy the Corvette design team.

Some people want an Huracan competitor. ME, FPC, TT, small-displacement V8 that revs 8500+. Weight savings everywhere, alcantara and a carbon fiber tub like a McLaren. Happy to pay $150K, $200K, or more. Other people want a ME grand tourer with an an interior like an exotic. Weight savings not important. Instead they want leather (or leather on top of leather like an Aston Martin), room for golf clubs or bags for cross country trips, an interior quality matching top European manufacturers. Again, price is no object. Still other people want a retro FE, an old school rumbling V8, manual transmission, chrome wheels, and round tail lights. These people want 12% off MSRP and a $58,000 base price.

This thing is gonna look like Frankenstein. :rofl:

Nah.....

It's hard to see with all the camo, but there is a roof rack.

To me, this sounds bad. If we are talking about front hood storage, it seems that the only way would be to shorten the wishbones and or to raise the hood. Both of which would be very bad, i.e. short wishbones bad for handling, high hood bad for looks and aerodynamics! However, if it is storage space behind the seats, might be OK as long as the wheelbase is reasonable.

Hate to repeat myself... If forum members were part of the design team it would turn out to be something like this.

Does the C8 have room for my walker and Depends diaper bag? Thanks.

Apparently yes...

If the C8 is fast enough they may pay for mods to Porshe to accomidate their drivers.
