Spied! Mid-Engine Chevrolet Corvette Caught Track Testing

No Manual i have read something saying that and i also read that it will cost over 200k for a base model its like a Ferrari fighter instead of a Porsche fighter

Nope. One of the cornerstone values of a Corvette is it's an Everyman sportscar. Sure there will be models that tip the 6 figure mark at the top of the lineup but no way would they price it like a Ferrari. You'll still be able to find models starting in the 50s - 60s.

Not unless they break the Corvette out into two separate models, perhaps as its own brand as I had suggested earlier. Corvette engineers have been silently grumbling for a while about the performance constraints of the front-engine layout and the semi-affordable price point. The whole point of moving to a mid-engine platform is to free it from that leash so it can start chasing after the high-performance big dogs. In short, I suspect GM is jealous that they don't have a Ford GT equivalent and now they're aiming to fix that shortcoming in their high-performance lineup.

I read that the zora platform midengined corvette will be $150k - $200k as well. There is speculation they will keep the value based front engine platform as is and even speculation that they will spin off the corvette brand.

Most journals say they have reached the maximum achievable output based upon physics for the current platform.

My only request is that they fix that ugly rear end.

I know a bit about it from an engineer who has driven it (well actually he described what did not happen). I told him I would not discuss the specifics, but there is a lot more to it than is in the article. It will come out soon enough and you will drool.
