Didn't they trademark Chevelle around the same time? I'm not saying a mid engine Corvette Zora won't be built but I don't take them trademarking the name as evidence either way.

for what GM has done lately in the performance realm, they don't want to be second best to Ford or Fiat.

The GT is as much a rumor as the mid engine Zora. Don't get me wrong, I would love to wake up and see Chevy and Ford supercars mixing it up on the street and track.

If GM and Ford were working on mid engine cars, would we have seen a mule or two running around my now? Especially with Ford supposedly returning to Le Mans next year.

Ford has always been willing to build special engines for the Mustang. The blown 4.6 in the Terminators, the 5.4 in the Cobra R, the 302 Roadrunner in the BOSS and now the 5.2 Voodoo.

The only comparable engine from the Camaro, if not GM as a whole, would be the LS7 and maybe LS9.
