Home grown mid-engined competitor
 
Mid-engine Chevrolet Corvette caught making a McDonald's run | Fox News
Will they learn from the Boxster?

that looks like a very long car.

Also not confirmed as a Corvette....I think the length and wheels is more Ferrari like

Of course it's a Corvette. Ferrari isn't going to test the car's ability to handle drive-thru windows or cup holders for super-sized drinks!

I've been to the Milford proving grounds many times and live about a half hour from it. Seeing these masked cars in Detroit area is a normal occurrence. If you look at the one pic it looks like in the background is the front end of a Porsche, a yellow R8 or something in the parking lot next to another masked vette just like that. They must be getting close to production to run them with so little guise.
I was at the Ford Rotunda plant, the one that has the test track, like 2 years ago and they were running the Ford Gts on it and they weren't even masked but painted in ugly camo colors just before they came out.

Guess they finally realized they shouldn't have discontinued the Fiero after all

Nice.
I wonder at what point of time in the future, someone will do an LS to m96 conversion.

Begs the question-will the first generation mid engine Corvette have a 3 quart oil pan, throw rods and start engine fires?

That still pisses me off :( and I could go on and on about why GM has been incapable of producing a decent sports car. Maybe this time they can.
