Googled 2016 mid engine corvette....Really impressive photos....First car to come to mind as far as looks was the Ferrari 360...I think the car will be a hit if in fact Chevy goes through with the design....

And, holy cow - Can you believe the performance level they put into new Corvettes! Just wow. At Road Atlanta I was passed by a Z06 so fast it was almost shocking. He probably had the A/C on.

Speaking about derrieres, I sure wish there was some kind of great looking (and inexpensive) rear spoiler/wing for C4's. I haven't seen any (except for purpose built race cars, which would probably look silly on a street car).
Share your thoughts, Russ, on both the C7 (loved it fr Day 1 and love the Z06 even more) and a modest spoiler for the ZR-1s (something subtle - like on the M3s perhaps).

It's going to need to be incredible after the debut of the Ford GT.
LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

That GT is a beast.....I remember when Ford put them out...The pricing I believe was around 140-150 thousand....

On the block there going between 220-240 thousand if I remember correctly,used...
Talk about an investment..Maybe I should have used my equity to buy one back in the day instead of a home in Florida ....Lol....Its all good ....

If that mid engine looks as good as the photos I saw it will be a hit......Than again I remember when I saw some preliminary sketches of the ZR1 back in the day and I was like "wow"...

To be honest when the car debuted It looked nothing like the scetches I saw....Honestly, my first thought was --"it looks like a regular C-4 Corvette....I thought, no hood scoops? No aggressive lines? The motor? Sure back in 90 it was untouchable....But the styling I feel was too close to the regular C4...

Months ago I was at a car show out in Long Island NY....I happen to park mine next to a 96..Car was in showroom condition...After a few hours the owner goes " hey I just noticed the back of your Vette is a lot wider than mine"....I was like dude, you serious?...If there is anything a corvette owner knows is the width of the rear on a C4 ZR1....

It's one of the most noticeable changes Chevy did to the body when they designed the ZR1..

Hey Digg..

I have seen your ZR-1 before
