You"d imagine that a new version of America"s most celebrated sports car would be announced like Elvis Presley popping down from the clouds to do a one-man show in Vegas. With Marilyn Monroe and Elmo on backing vocals. You"d expect the ticker-tape parade of excitement and freedom fries with extra cheese. You"d be wrong, however. For a while, the worst-kept secret in all of motoring has been that the new C8" Chevy Corvette will go mid-engined. For the first time in its history, the production-spec Vette will shove its V8 behind the seats, not ahead of them. And in so doing, become a true Ferrari and Lamborghini-rivalling supercar. A car for people who like McLarens, not Big Macs.
