After having grown up with corvette starting with an 81 4speed, and my last a 2006 convertible, I have to say I’m shocked by the design.
Particularly the stub nose, and the rear engine mount. It’s so far a departure from any corvette design, I think they should have introduced it under a different name.
Part of the sensation of driving the Vette, was sitting behind that long front end with a slightly reclined bucket seat. It really gave you that I’ve arrived feeling wherever you pulled in. In comparison these stub nose sport cars give the sensation of driving a lawn mower with a jet pack on the back.
Oh well Corvette History, Chevrolet just discarded you on the curb at 42nd St.
