Precisely. That's a C8 racer. Puppy won't be street legal.
As for the comments that front-engined 'vettes won't ever die ... in case y'all haven't noticed, high-performance sports cars period are dying -- and the ones that are surviving are primarily mid-engine and, in the case of the 911, rear-engine designs.
Why?
Primarily to accommodate hybridization, at a minimum. It's just the way things are going. Chevy gets that. It's among the reasons why the Viper died. It's why Aston Martin DBxs are clinging to life behind the Vulcans and other mules. It's why the upcoming Supra will be the last true, ICE-only high-performance sports coupe Japan will ever produce. It's why the GT-R hasn't been refreshed. It's why Jaguar hasn't replaced the F-Type. Shall I go on?
Front-engine high-horsepower sports cars are slowly going the way of the dodo.
