I get that there might be greater performance, but, dang. They all look too space ship-y.

I'll take this:


over this mid engine any day

I'm finding that new car designs in general look better in person than in pictures. The proportions of the C8 look good when I've seen them out and about.

Nice aftermarket wheels make a ton of difference on them too.

The widebody C7's are damned nice too though...

I also slightly prefer the appearance of the C7 over the C8, but there are a lot of mid-engine Lambos, McClarens and Ferraris that look great. IMO the Lamborghini Aventador may be the most beautiful sports car ever created.

I keep looking at other pictures to post (1960s ferarri race cars), but none are as perfect a comparison as the corvette (different models/years, etc).

Am I the lone old man shaking his fist at clouds here?

I like both the C7 and C8, but this hits different.

100% agree. Haven't found a mid-engine I prefer the looks of. Now rear engine...

I think the new corvettes are absolutely beautiful. Like them more and more every time I see one.

Saw this guy at pluckers the other day.

Pics don't do it justice like an above poster said

i was mildly positive towards the styling of the C8 from pictures, but it really does look great in person.

and, how can you saw that this isn't completely gorgeous?

1) I think the 911 is considered a rear engine. either way, it does not resemble the 'spaceship escape pod', 'fighter jet' mid engine cars that I really have a problem with. And, for the record, I agree the 911 is awesome.

2) the Ford GT is one of the prettiest cars ever made. Good find/point

False.

McLaren F1 and Ferrari GTO (1984 version) are far better looking.

This is also, better looking

that orange is a cool color and the photo has perfect lighting, but the car is goofy:

Good looking cars in every layout. But on average mid engine cars are the prettiest.

For every 69 E-type, you have, well, almost every SUV

The way the back fender wraps around the wheel and then comes up to that perfectly sized spoiler is so beautiful. Like a smoking hot chick in a little black dress. Just can't be beat

Useless trivia: the car you hear revving in Panama by Van Halen was Eddie's Miura.

I'm a fan of the C8 but I think they missed on the rear end a bit. It's too boxy and squared off. I understand why they did it to create enough room for a set of golf clubs in the trunk but I still think they could have done something different there.

Probably get laughed at but what do people think about the Acura NSX? They call it mid-engine.

I did laugh at the price tag - $160k.

This won't be popular but here goes.

Mid and rear engine cars are beautiful overall. Mid engine vette is hideous. Yes let me get a buffet of crow as I even started a thread on C8 and boasted I would buy one used.

Sorry fellas but those of you 50+ driving a C8, you look ridiculous.

C8 lacks the artistic design of other midengine super cars. It just looks like a pretender. A cheap one at that.

Vette should've remained as a front engine American Classic.

OK, come at me!
