A true fully independent, high teach, sophisticated suspension, massive brakes, massive lightweight wheel options….. you’d still get C8 performance and handling but the engine would be in front of the driver where it belongs and you’d still have the long hood/shirt deck classics look of a real Corvette. Instead of the short hood/long deck that it is now.

Isn't that what corvette had already been doing? Isn't the engine in the C7 already behind the front axle with a rear mounted gearbox?
