Haven't you heard though, it would be designed by GM so it would be like it was built by the hand of god with no chance of vibrating to pieces and would somehow also make insane low end torque while revving to 8K

At any rate, the history of those engines is that they were on the range toppers. What if there are two (or more) trims for the mid engined car? The base model can still share engines with something else while leaving room for something more powerful/exotic/rare above. At this point, what that something else would be is anyones guess.

i'm guessing there will be some differences in the engines in the two cars, i think there's even some speculation of a hybrid for the mid engine, and i'm glad the front engine model will continue.

I would have the front engine Corvette stick around and call the mod engine “Zora”.
The corvette would go from base to Z06, with the Z06 going back to light weight, n/a power, manual and fixed roof only. The Zora would come in with the Z06 engine, auto and manual, fixed roof, removable roof and convertible options. Then move on to the supercharged and hybrid versions.

Sure, but the Corvair was a rear engine car and has a less than stellar reputation. Zora was the man that made the Corvette what it is, and wanted a mid engine car for most of his career. Honoring him makes a lot of sense.

I’d take that as sarcasm if GM hadn’t pulled off the impossible with countless small blocks already. Almost no car enthusiast buys a car and says, “man, I wish I had something other than this Chevy small block in here. I think I’ll take it out and put an ecoboost in it.”

As far back as the LS1 in the 4th gen they were able to make a low 5 second 0-60 Camaro that was also capable of just under 30mpg. Until the recent Mustang offerings GM always had an advantage in HP and torque in their NA engines over the competition. The new LT5 is set to put the hellcat to shame.
