2019 Corvette C8 mid-engine?!!

[kalidromos13]

That is very true PontiacGP!! Didn't really think before I posted that haha
With the Camaro ZL1/1LE coming in as fast (faster at the 'ring too) as the corvette I think the natural progression would be to have the Camaro be the flagship Front-engine car and have the corvette be GMs mid engine sports car. Why build two nearly similar vehicles?

a Camaro is a coup and a Corvette is a two seater so I don't see them as similar cars just because of them both being a front engine car. They target different buyers

I still haven't gotten used to the new ones. They straight ripped off Ferrari's headlights/DRLs.
Badass vette (buddy's ZR1 with a 3.6 Kenne Bell)

Unless you're very short, or like the steering wheel pressing into your chest, there's actually no usable rear seating in a camaro... or at least we didn't find there to be when we had one as a loaner during repair work for 5 weeks last fall.

I suppose it'd work well enough with a front facing car seat or some 3 foot tall kid/midget, but outside that it's a two seater in all but name already....

regardless of the room in the back seat the definition of that style of automobile is a coupe and an ugly one at that...

This one has room for 6 foot dudes in the back seat.

Corvette guys go to "Cars and Coffee" like the rest of us and they walk past the 80+ cars on "supercars row" that get the special entrance/exit (they don't have to wait in line) and they grumble to themselves.

As they walk past the Lambos and Porsches and Ferrari's to the back 40 where the Corvettes park (out beyond the clapped out pickups and project cars), too close to the mustang crowd's or Ricers' "rev battles", they mouth the words "I can beat that one, I can beat that one, I can beat that one,..."

It actually tears corvette guys up that Corvette ISN'T a mid engine supercar. You'd never know it, because they won't admit it to anyone but their psychiatrist.

and here is proof that a full size person can indeed fit in the backseat of a 6th gen camaro

and he would be just about as comfortable in the 1st gen camaro

The even bigger problem is, the driver seat was moved max forward in the first pic, and max backwards in the second...

I'd love to see it with someone needing to occupy both seats at the same time.

Where houdini when you need him...

Darn, just when you thought the cars in this thread couldn't get any more atrocious/ugly you gotta throw that abomination out there
