We have a poll question just up on this. www.CorvetteMafia.com.
I have a call into my GM contact and I am working hard to get an interview to confirm or deny this story. Whitcare has confirmed the Corvette will be changing, but just how much is anybody's guess at this point.

That concept picture kind of reminds me of the mid 90s camaro and firebird. I had a 94 Camaro convertable once and except for the wheels and nose emblem reminids me exactly of that car. Coincidence?

I think these rumors are just the media stirring the pot since GM isn't releasing ANYTHING about the C7. They are doing a great job at keeping it under wraps. I seriously doubt they'll jump on the mid-engine bandwagon unless they are really itching at dominating in ALMS and Le Mans. If GM really is doing some R&D on a mid-engined car, i'd say it'll be only on the C7 ZR1 or ZO6, and will just be so they can have a mid-engined race car. I'd be willing to bet the base C7 will be a front mounted V8!

Take it from a retired Engineer of Chevrolet Corvette
in Corvette, we worked on projects 7 years in advance of the current models.ALWAYS!
We also had STYLING EXCERCISES, and naturally Concept Design Vehicles (show cars).
I believe the question was Sabaru engineers related to Corvette.
Well, here's a twist for our forum, how about Corvettes engineer's building a prototype for Sabaru?
better yet, how about myself, and my brother Chris a professor of automotive design engineering for Univ of Tenn, taking the lead for this project, and here is the results.

Very cool! 
Yeah, I agree all this V6 and Mid-engine talk is OLD news and probably not only no longer in the trash can at GM, but shredded and in the Detroit landfill (or filed away in the dungeons of GM headquarters).
