mid engine corvette qtr panels leaked photo

My problem if they were separate the brands is; Could you still get service at a chevy dealership. If .ot it would be a huge negative.

 

Every time JM2 logs on to FChat and doesn't tell us when the car will be revealed a kitten dies......

 

^^^^
Not only kittens but this as well....John's an evil guy

There are going to be a multitude of carcasses lying around!
It ain't going to be pretty.........

I am neither an employee of General Motors nor am I a spokesperson for Corvette.
i'm just a lowly college professor.

John,
K Wright and I were probably too hard on you. We are sorry....

But, I have a nice fresh 5 spot if you'll tell us. That's right my friend, FIVE BUCKAROONIES, 5 GRICKLES, 5 DRACHMOLIES, an ABRAHAM...well, you get the idea. FIVE DOLLARS, free and clear if you tell us where the reveal is. C'mon man, this is the EASIEST 5 bucks in your life. And I shouldn't speak for K Wright, but I just bet he would throw in a FIVER also.
10 BUCKS...a lot of cash. Enough to go to McDonalds AND Starbucks. Just sayin'

 

McDonalds? No.
White Castles!
Starbucks: yes
I may have to rethink my position.......

 

^^^^
Sounds like you're open to some palm greasing so, while 5 bucks is about my limit on cash, I am willing to risk some jail time and make you a bootleg cassette of Slim Whitman's Greatest Hit.
Very rare and VERY collectible.

 

Guys this is the 'second coming' some six decades in the makings. This is going to be a mega event; not a 'car show'.
Even Andy will be there...

 

^^^^
Frankly, that had not occurred to me....it's a VERY good thought.

 

ill add one rmb to that !

 

CLASSIC!

I hate to tell you what happens when he doesn't tell us the price!

 

So now that you have established that it is a matter of how much!!! We can work with that.

 

Nothing like a sack of warm White Castles to sooth the soul..
Ya gotta be a Mid Westerner to understand
Nuthin fancy for us Rust Belt denizens

 

How about Athens coney dogs?

 

I know no one knows exactly right now, but how much wider will the rear track be than the front track? What is typically the difference in a hyper performance mid-engined car? Any educated guesses on this as well as front and rear tire width?

 

outstanding!!!
2 w/everything!


let's get back on topic, shall we gentlemen?
my culinary tastes are not important to the discussion at hand

 

Hofmann hot dogs at Oswego New York where the Supermodifieds run!

At least with the food we know what we are getting; the Corvette not so much...

 

If one takes a look at the underside of a C7, its not hard to imagine many of those mechanical pieces being repackaged in a Me layout, the suspesion transxle etc are all there.
Possibly probably the Me car is all new or mostly new mechanicals. I would strongly suspect that these same mechanicals, ie the suspension transaxle, steering HVAC etc will repackage into a Fe format, and have been designed with that in mind. The vette frame is not too complex either, or to repackage.

What I am getting at is you can make a ME and Fe car on the same line with both cars sharing a high degree of components in common. That means tooling and development costs for many pieces are shared to a high degree and two new cars can be designed/built for not much more than the cost of one. Two cars expands the bandwidth. I dont see a Fe vette being built off a camaro, platform, theres no need, its heavy, would be an expensive redesign and the vette would lose some USP/provanenace. Plus its simply going to cost less to build a fe vette off the me bits.

Unless the Me is miraculously a knockout smash 40+k units per year sustained hit, Gm will be building a Fe car off the same platform. Its simply a no brainer, and they have so much customer equity in the Fe layout. The Me is there to take the vette concept further, to expand the bandwidth, not trunkate it.

 

How much wider will the rear track be than the front; well my answer would be zero. In fact the track width will favour the front with a width of 66.8 inches. The rear track will be narrower at 64.9 inches.
For tire sizes I believe they would start at 245 for the front and 305 for the rear but that 305 may be a bit aggressive for the base model.

 

What the heck, I'll throw a 5 spot in to sweeten the pot!

 

How about some 'foreign influence' with a cheap Canuck 10 DIX note >

'play money'

 

as opposed to 'work' money perhaps but 'vertical' integration...

 

Memories...I paid 16 cents for my first White Castle, 19 cents with cheese on Queens Blvd in New York...
