Remember, GTR fans are like the liberal media. Falsely reporting one or two cases one was to disguise the fact that it's the opposite in real life.

That is GM for you. The Corvette team has asked and asked for MR and turbos and what have you. GM always says no and threatens to cut the Corvettes already small budget, or kill it completely. And if anything comes close to the matching the Corvette they just kill that.
Except for the C1 and C6 all other other Corvettes are first imagined as MR. GM just never lets them do it.
>>15337980
>>15338076
>twin turbos
Didn't that kind of thing already happen with the Callaway C4 Supernatural?
Hell, i think it was Callaway who took the Corvette all the way to Le-mans before GM did themselves.
>>15338124
The Corvette team wanted to do turbos back in the 70s. There were prototype C3 turbos that were menat to get people prepared for the all new 83 Corvette Turbo, but GM pulled the plug on that. The fuel injected models were capable of mid 13s which would have made them the fastest Corvettes to date excluding the rare L88s and ZL-1s. After the C4 was released the team begged to turbo the car because they felt it was underpowered compared to the competition and to other GM cars, but GM didn't allow it. They had to go to Callaway to do it. The B2K cars were the result. When the LT5 project finally got approved the Corvette team ended their partnership.

This reminds me. Someone needs to bring back side pipes. Maybe that would help.
The Corvette is about "American tradition" and all that shit. Most Corvette buyers are over 50, and want the quintessential American sports car they dreamed about owning when they were younger. That was a front-engine, RWD, V8. So long as the Corvette is sold on the basis of Americanism and nostalgia, it will always be front-engine, RWD, V8.
Depends.

Fuck no, GM needs to stop trying to elevate the Corvette to a supercar competitor just because it's the nicest car they make. Bite the bullet and either bring back Pontiac as an SRT competitor performance brand, or make a Cadillac supercar. Quit disgracing the Corvette by trying to make it something it's not and never has been.
>>15333684
i feel sometimes like having a slower lap in the corvette than in the gtr might actually just mean that you're not such a great driver. that, or the track has tighter curves. awd is obviously better for not only retaining control under g's but also accelerating out of a corner, but maybe we should just be flying airplanes or helicopters or something
>>15333302
yes. the C6 Z06 was a more desirable car than any C7 so they need to move on to something besides edgy styling and supercharged engines if they want to keep my attention.
>>15344314
could also go this route and just make a reliable and more pedestrian sports car but also lower the price
>>15344146
>>15343725
I'm still trying to convince myself it will be a Cadillac, but the design cues are looking really Chevy. Bad move.
>>15344146
>make a Cadillac supercar.
Fucking this. Cadillac can use this new car to boost their brand image similar to what Audi did with the R8. audi was loosing a lot of sales to their other German competitors and what better way to stir things up than to build something BMW nor Mercedes had at the time. a Cadillac Super-car might draw some interest and give the kiddies with daddies money something to dream about when buying a regular CTS. similar to how some people bought regular Audis in hopes that they one day may be able to afford the R8 Halo car.
There was a guy who worked for Audi and help turn their brand image around so maybe we might see this.
>bring back Pontiac as an SRT competitor performance brand
This too. although i think Pontiac if brought back should focus on small lightweight performance cars to take on the GT86, Miata, BMW M2, etc.
The return of the Banshee would be great. just make it a lightweight sports-car instead of the better-corvette it was originally meant to be. (last thing you want is GM's brands directly competing with each other making the same cars with different badges)
I always felt like Pontiac had enough brand identity to be their own brand entirely (similar to Cadillac now) even until their last dying breath.
Have them make their own platforms. It could appeal to Millennials like Scion was supposed to and GM definitely has the money to push it in advertisements and unlike Scion which came out of nowhere there are still some people who know Pontiac and even miss them (to a certain degree).
>>15344146
I highly doubt they'll brand it as a Corvette t b h

>>15344331
>It could appeal to Millennials like Scion was supposed to
They already tried that with Saturn, and you know how that turned out.
>>15333456
they had those plans also
>>15333302
Mid-engined is cool and all, but it defeats the purpose of a Corvette.
>>15345843
To appeal to men in the middle of a mid life crisis?
>>15344331
>It could appeal to Millennials like Scion was supposed to
Scion was primarily geared towards Gen X because research showed that they hate buying from the same brands as their parents (Boomers) so they might be more inclined to buy from a trendy new brand. Of course they thought this would also apply to millenials, but that turned out not to be the case as they turned out to like buying Toyotas and Chevrolets like their grandparents (probably more of a image thing).
