Never seen a mid-engine Corvette? Here's one!

Took these rather poor photos at the Heritage Center, Sandwich, Massachusetts.

Looks like the jaguar x220

No, the X220 looks like the Corvette, because the Corvette pre-dates it. Fun fact, do you know that the signature look of the Dodge Viper was stolen from Corvette? I may not be believed cus I couldn't find a picture (I couldn't remember the name of the prototype, but I was at a GM car show at their Warren tech center about 2 years ago and their was a prototype Corvette from the early 90's that had the exact same grill as the first Dodge Viper.

I'm not to up to date on a lot of these old cars. Was just saying it looked a lot like the Jaguar. Pretty cool

Parked a bit close to the wall isn't it?

Was looking for this. Such an unique concept, a mid-engined American muscle car. Not saying it's never been done before, but such a rarity. Pity about bean counters killing it. Oh it also had Lotus developed twin turbo'ed DOHC header on top of usual GM 5.7 liter small block. It made 650 horses and rumored to go onto 220 mph top end. Yup. 👍👍

I thought people might like to see GM's first mid engined experimental car.

I voted. I never knew this model Corvette existed.

There was another mid engine concept Corvette in 1986.

Here are some photos I took of it at the same time as the CERV III

Wow the earlier one is cool to!. Both are awesome cars. I like the designs of them. I hope these get added to Gran Turismo. Would be good rivals to the Jaguar XJ220.

Maybe will find out and see what happens. Remember, keep your fingers crossed.
