UPDATED! So GM announced the C8 Mid Engine in Dubai
GM announced that the C8 would be an ME platform during the reveal of the C7 ZR1. They put it out there in the open and it seems to have flown under the radar. Here’s the slide in the Chevrolet presentation at Dubai w that little tidbit of information.
SEE BELOW.

Re: So GM announced the C8 Mid Engine in Dubai
An update!
It seems the video, which was done by someone not affiliated w GM, slipped the presentation into the video making it appear as if it was GM sourced. It wasn’t. Therefore, the speculation on an ME platform for the C8 continues.

Don't think Corvette has a choice. Gonna have to do something dramatic to transcend the current HP war they're stuck in.

I hope they offer both platforms. Going ME only will price the car out of reach for many
