MrDoctor Report post Posted July 11, 2007 I don't doubt it. If I were Bob Lutz, I wouldn't give a crap about the old timers. If a mid engine is better, then a mid engine it will be! On a side note, I am really liking the new Camaro. And I'm not a big fan of "American Muscle" cars. But, I will not buy one because every douche bag will have one.

ralfabco Report post Posted July 11, 2007 I had a new Cv back in 1990. I really doubt, the canned beer crowd, would like a mid-engine Cv. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NetViper Report post Posted July 11, 2007 Maybe Chevrolet has seen the "mid engine" light. Mid engine is awesome, but I doubt it will happend and honestly having 25 cu ft of luggage space is a nice thing in a daily driver..

SPDR4LFE Report post Posted August 19, 2007 Could they also mean "mid engine" as in having the engine behind the front wheels(middle-ish) and not behind the driver? Im not sure but isnt the Merc SLR considered mid engine? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aedmon640 Report post Posted August 19, 2007 It will still have leaf springs. and still be faster with runflat tires than a GT3RS on Cup tires, whats the point? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralfabco Report post Posted August 19, 2007 The new Camaro looks really kewl. Who cares if it is on every street corner ? It is only a matter of time, b4 they drop the Z oh six motor in that platform. For the money, you cannot beat a 2002 996 X-50 TT.

Pantera Report post Posted August 20, 2007 There's actually two midengined vettes on the market. They are called the Mosler Photon 900TT and the SS/C ultimate aero. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
