Future Vette technologies, powertrains and chassis configurations have been a full-time passtime forever...
The early '70s predicted Wankels, and mid-engines, and all manner of varied configurations. Yet, as we've seen, the basic "Plastic Fantastic" is still rear driven and front-engined.
Go back 23 years, and a Regal V6 Turbo was THE street performance straight line champ, with far better real world mpg than ANY V8 Vette, and quicker 0-60/quarter mile times, in a far heavier package.
2016 calls for some currently-radical thinking and execution. Don't bet against ANY "possibility"...except the Vette SHOULD be a GM "halo", performance-wise, although, as noted, that's not always been the case...
