If they are going to replace one of them I’d expect it to be through upgrading it rather than engineer yet a third mid-engine variant.

And to your point in an earlier post, C9 is almost certain to be an MCE on the current platform. They’re not gonna engineer a new platform when they’ve just introduced the current ZERV platform. And introduce an electric platform at the same time? Nope. MCE.
It just donned on me that they would have to make it a mid engine layout.

Here I was thinking it would be like the past given the truck motors and LS/LT motors shared a lot of components so it wouldn't be that hard to do a Gen VI Corvette version. But the mid engine fact flew over my mind. Not so easy anymore.
