Is that what Chevy's financial part of the plan to go mid engine was about, to go after the exotic buyer market? Don't get me wrong I have always been a big Corvette fan (cross shopped the Z06 at one point if you remember) but there's a very specific buyer for an exotic and then there are people that buy Corvettes. If that is the case I don't see why you would go after that crowd that wouldn't buy a Corvette because Chevy, not because mid-engine.
Or let me put it another way, I was in a Chevy dealer a while back while my friend was looking at Silveraydos. They had a few Z06s in the showroom and they were sick. Expensive carbon fiber packages, integrated cameras all over to record your hooning. A few of them priced out over $110k. I just could not shake this feeling from my head that if I am spending a hundred and ten thousand dollars on a car there is not a single domestic make that is going to make that short list...even this car sitting here as cool as it is. If Chevy makes that price point even higher and shoots for the top dogs I have a feeling that's a recipe for fail cake
