If only people would get that the Corvette has been a (front) mid-engine car for decades, some of the terminology would work a little more effectively. The new rear-mid-engine design could definitely result in some dynamic benefits, so the question should be one of what those benefits might be. People had a lot of complaints about the Pantera four decades ago, but they rave about the Porsche Cayman now. To a driver, will the new platform really be an improvement over the current layout, or is it just throwing a new dart at the styling board, possibly to help sell a new engine configuration?
