[QUOTE="ddgermann, post: 117146, member: 3537"] Interesting take in this article. [I]Finally, how long is the C7 for this world? Rumors have it that the car will be Corvette’s front engine, rear drive “swan song” and will fade away afterwards er the mid-engine model debuts. Other reports say the car will soldier on until 2021 or so. [ATTACH=full]12475[/ATTACH] What say you? Do you think the Corvette can rely solely on a mid-engine car to reliably sell 40k copies a year like the C7? If not, there will be a lot of explaining to do at GM headquarters. We’ve always said that we think the Camaro is being groomed to take over the C7’s place. What do you think? Let us know your thoughts.

Guys I love Cameros. I’ve driven the wheels off a few of them. But as an Owner if 3 Z06 Corvettes... with now sitting in the Z07 version....
