Charity Corvette Breaks Record at Barrett-Jackson

That's an insane price, but of course the price paid was no doubt driven more by philanthropy than perceived value - nice of them to do that.

Or a new Vega with the 4 cyl turbo with 300+ hp. And rustproof it this time.

Maybe. Who knows. If the sales and performance are there they may stick with it. Doesn’t matter the value will drop like a rock because it’s a GM. They should of made a GT40 version like Ford did. Those kept their value and went up.
But obviously GM sees a mid engine platform as the new way to go. You or I may not buy one but others may

They've done pretty damn well with mid-engined cars too.

Rear engined performance cars are Porsche territory, or do you think GM should build another Corvair? Which I would welcome, had one and it was a fun little car.

When they have the horsepower and performance to trounce supercars they'll have the brand power.
