Trail is getting warmer...Mid-Engined Corvette

On the other hand. Look at what Ford has done. Brought back the GT and made it an exotic. Why would Chevy not do this with their Vette? Would make sense they want to compete with Ford and beat them. All Chevy has to do is only produce so few to make it special and people would probably buy them.

At the same time I agree it's going to be hard to break the stigma of Chevy not ben an exotic and it's just the muscle car. But, people even in Europe understand the corvette is one of the very few sports cars that can keep up with them elegant european rides. So they have broken the stigma of traditional muscle car. Can they break the stigma of not being a higher priced "exotic" car? Probably not.

You can make a car special, make it a low production number car, only offer it to prospective buyers as part of an "application process", and then only sell it to DJs and Youtube "celebrities" but you're not going to build a successful business model solely off of that. It would not be surprising if Ford is losing money on each GT sold, but like the Lexus LFA or the Veyron that isn't the point. These automakers make these halo cars because they can, they provide a lot of marketing buzz and presence and are a way to display engineering prowess, or motorsports/racing heritage, or whatever keeps people coming into dealerships to buy F150s and Mustangs.

Chevy is making money on selling Corvettes to their current clientele, they probably won't if they make a limited group of them to compete with the established supercar brands and their current offerings.
