I'm surprised no one mentioned one of these. Been around a few years already.
$40k-$60k to build. And up of course, depending what you do.

But it's made of plastic. Who would want a car made of plastic?

What is? The Ertl model?

You know, if they really change the corvette THAT much then they should give it another name....its a shame they would take away American history like that

should they have changed the name when they moved the transmission to the rear?

I really wish everyone on here would stop assuming "mid-engine" means "move it to the rear." Because it doesn't. The current Corvette is mid-engined. The term means "placement of the engine between the front and rear axles." And I really doubt that GM would waste money converting the car to RMR at this point in time. Alienating loyal Vette buyers isn't going to make them more money, nor will attempting to compete with the Italians by making a $150K+ supercar out of the Vette.

Ehhem vauxhaul vx220 anyone?
Opel speedster?
Gm has a midengine design just not on its shores.

quote Originally posted by KraigG: Let's just hope they concentrate on the Corvette's quality issues. I had a C5, and it had more problems than my 27 year old Fiero. Ever had a steering column lock up on you? Tons of electrical gremlins? Things just fall off the car? Last new GM car I ever bought. And I'm still bitter.

+1

Worst built car. Cheap plastic center dash console too that cracked when some fat mechanic pushed of it to get out of my car.

Cool. That means the Model A and Model T Fords were "mid-engine."

...and my wife's Hummer is only a couple inches away from being midengine.

That's what she said.

I'm thinking FIERO Concept kit...sorta like the Firebird concept that was done on the new gen Camaro
