I dont make this up ask any insurance underwriter top three accident prone cars as far as loss control and the Corvette is usually one or two. Also checkout youtube. I like Corvettes but they what they are. |

But it's sort of like saying a Huyabusa is at fault when it gets wadded up, not the yahoo that decided to pin the throttle. Give a 335i 500hp and see how E90/F30 driver do in daily driving. |

Technically, you may be correct, but as far as I'm concerned, Corvette=front, Porsche 911=rear, then there's all the mid-engined cars =914, lots of Ferraris, MR2, Panteras, Ford GT and GT40, most Supercars, all with the standard mid-engined configuration. All have joined engine/transaxle arrangements.
Corvette has engine in front with transaxle in back. I enterptret engine behind driver to be=mid engined. Cars like the Viper and Corvette I consider front engined. Cars like the DTM cars may also technically be mid-engined but I still view them as front engined cars with the engine moved really far back. So, I guess was saying I wished GM would make a mid engined car with the engine behind the driver. |

I wasn't arguing that point. No doubt the Vette and Viper can outperform many mid-engined cars.
I just love the mid-engined arrangement, and wish GM would make a "normal" mid-engined supercar. |

besides the Vette's tranny sits in the back right in front of the rear axle for a better weight distribution. |
