Default Thought about returning in a c5

i say the vette should remain front-engine, rwd.
but if the brass is so insistant on entering the exotic market with this
mid-engine vette...than make two, two versions.



one should be the vette as its configuration is now.

and one should be a limited production, 'exotic' version, mid-engine
configuration, more horses, track-tuned suspension, chasis, and an improved
interior - all at a premium price...for the american exotic-seekers


by the way, americans suck at trying to be exotic...just look at their last
attempt, with the ford gt (lol)
