Yes

Well no you couldn't because right now the base Corvette is actually a relative "bargain" for the performance and engineering you get. There's really nothing else quite like that in the 60k range.

If you lose that, it's not suddenly a good alternative to the 911 because it's much cheaper, it has to actually be outright better in all areas because it's the same price.

idk if a 911 would be a competitor

It'd be punching above its weight most likely, and is heavier with higher displacement

well, I take that back, maybe it wouldn't be heavier...

Well if it were heavier than the 911 it would be an even harder sell because the 911 is a 4 seat car with a steel chassis.

Right, that's what I thought...

Anyway, this is all wild speculation, I hope it's a great success, but I still say that the peak time to introduce something like this would have been back in the late 90s where it would have been possible to sell it at a reasonable price and it would have been thrown right into the mix of top sports cars.

Also would not be surprised if entry level smallest displacement one has some kind of low pressure twin turbo powerplant with the way things are headed.

Another mid engine Covette render ewwww

That just looks like any one of the dozens of "start up supercars" that show up at the geneva auto show.

Insanely generic render.

Oh wow, looking at the Alonso news now

I said it before, I don't think I said it in here, but what he really wants is that Indy 500 victory, and it's no surprise that he'll put all his focus on that if McLaren can't give him a car that can win F1 races.

He might be in a IndyCar McLaren

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's going on the wishlist

Yeah, it's been said before that McLaren might also make a push to return to Indy, and this would be the time.

Whoa

Also in the meantime he can continue to drive the dominant Toyota TS050 in WEC and remind himself what winning races feels like.

That mustang

Will a manual be available

It's a third party tuner, so I imagine they can source one if they need to
