No, a revolutionary design would require a radical change, like mid-
engine. Evolution is more like the way the 911 has changed (or not
changed) over time. I think you are mixing up mutation (abrupt change
in form) with evolution (gradual, progressive change).

Whatever words are chosen, the Corvette is likely to retain its
current configuration if only to keep cost down. I can't see GM
investing in another sports car platform until they can regain some
market share and profitability.

But a mid-engined Corvette would shake the industry if GM could pull
it off at a low price point. Let the old farts put their golf clubs
into a Camaro, I say.
