GM investing big money in Corvette factory. Looks like a mid engine Corvette may actually be coming in a few years. Hopefully with an option for a proper DCT like Ford is using in the new GT.

In actuality...the Suburban has been in continuous production (as a nameplate) across several different platforms since 1933. So I guess in terms of American cars..it would go Suburban Corvette Mustang. |

There was no "model year" 1983 Corvette, but production never stopped. That is why it is still the longest production American car. They made the 1982 a little longer, and the 1984 got an early start as a new generation.

Admin at GMI is claiming AutoGuide has spy photos of the midengined Corvette IVER.

"Pricing will match the GT's $400,000 price tag"
AKA We're pulling this out of our ass since the GT's price hasn't been announced. I cannot imagine a mid-engine Corvette topping $175,000 at the most, unless they're going for that exotic supercar field that the GT is going for. |

The TTV6 and $400k price tag make no sense. The GT is a limited car built to get back into racing. I don't expect this car to be entirely carbon fiber and focused for a certain racing class.

Is there truth to the rumor that the C8 generation will offer both front & mid, then the C9 will only be mid?

I could see them going DOHC maybe, with a DCT even, but not a TTV6 and such. It just seems like they're assuming that Corvette is going to follow Ford's lead with the new FGT and just chase it's heels around. |

The original rumor was the midengined C8 ZR1 would launch first alongside the C7 Stingray/Grand Sport/Z06. Then those C7s would gradually be replaced by midengined C8s. That rumor's from upwards of 2 years ago though so it's likely to have changed.
