I'd never do that these days.
I'm not sure it will have an impact. A company like Porsche isn't going to magically change what profit margin they are willing to make on a 911 or Cayman just because the 'Vette went mid-engine.
But I could be completely wrong. Just guessing. I'm assuming people shopping a $70k (LT2 and Z51 for example) car aren't likely cross-shopping it with a $130k car.
Or if they are, it's not because of money.

I admit I am mostly self-projecting. My last cars have been 4 BMW and one MB. Never owned an American car or cared about Chevy (OK admit it, I was/am blown away by ZL1 smoking through Nurburgring). But I just can't ignore C8. There has never been a mid-engine V8 under $150k, ever. And I have never seen so much hype for a car. Maybe Porsche doesn't get affected but Supra with its fake air vents looks like a complete joke compared to C8, even M2...
