Mid Engine. This thing is dope. Chevy did this one right.

Here's just the B roll for a better look.
The current Stingray is one of the best looking cars around, but this one looks pretty damn good.

Looks sharp. Without seeing the logo, I wouldn't think it was a corvette, though.
With the mid engine it shortens the front end a bit and pushes the cab forward

I record Barrett-Jackson auctions, often just to watch the charity auction items sold to collectors. The cars often are sold without seller or buyer fees.
The last C7 sold at a recent auction. Often, the first buyer donates the car back to be sold a second time to benefit the charity. I believe that did not occur with this vehicle.
Quoting from Barrett-Jackson:
“On Friday, the last-built seventh-generation (C7) Chevrolet Corvette made history when Dan Snyder of Dan Snyder Motorsports purchased it for $2.7 million – a new Barrett-Jackson charity sale record by an automaker-donated vehicle. The entire amount raised from the sale of the Corvette benefited the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation’s Smart Home Program. Mr. Snyder also bought the last-production models of the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon (Lot #3002.1) and 2017 Dodge Viper (Lot #3002) at the 2018 Barrett-Jackson Northeast Auction. To date, Barrett-Jackson has raised over $118 million for charity.”

I don't have a problem with the new look. It just strikes me as more of a Ferrari look, than a Corvette.
Works for me! With the projected performance figures...at that price. Damn. I can't wait to see what they come up with for the ZR-1 package. Throw some boost on that sucker with a track aero package!
Has anyone been to the Corvette assembly facility in Bowling Green? My dad had us stop there and take a tour during one family road trip when I was a kid. I thought it was pretty cool at the time (I was maybe 14-15). I'd be curious to see how things have changed.
I remember them testing a newly built Vette on rollers on the floor. I could be off on the speed, but I was thinking they reached speeds approaching 100 mph. I do remember that younger me was sorta hoping to see what would happen if something malfunctioned and that sucker took off at that speed from a stationary position.
