I've never been a Corvette guy but the C7 really got my attention and if this actually happens it's gonna be a beast. http://carbuzz.com/news/2014/9/11/Ch...a-ZR1-7722533/ Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Same rumor that comes around every new generation of the Vette.
MJB, actually the Corvette team or someone at GM has already said they have a good percent of work done for the c8 already (probably 30%) and doing planning/testing.

Yeah, I remember reading that the C7 was originally going to be mid engine, but development was delayed and Chevy just decided to save that for the C8.

I am not saying it won't happen, but the mid engine vette has been a rumor since the c5 generation I believe if not before. If GM does build a mid engine car it will probably get classified as something else.

That's a concept from a long time ago. Chevy has been teasing a mid-engine corvette for something like 30 years. Chevy keeps bringing it back up so they obviously would like to pull this off.

And yet more news about this. Whatever the concept pic is in this article looks pretty good.

If they make a 4 door model vette? Corvette can become it's own company?
