Front vs. mid engine - the design
Discussion
I'm sure this horse has already beaten dead and I don't want to open a can of worms, just interested in the popular opinion on the subject below it has been downvoted to oblivion on Reddit Cars (I should have known better).
I tried to make a point that to me front engine Vettes are more special than C8 for the reason that push-rod V8 allows a lower hood and waistline, therefore uniquely beautiful proportions that has been lost with C8, as IMHO design wise it is nothing special vs. other MR cars.
Perhaps I made a mistake not explaining that push-rod V8s are not as tall as regular OHC engines...
I know Corvette's performance has reached the very limits what an FR chassis allows, I don't question that part. I just happen to think that with C8 the automotive world lost its best looking front engine GT.
Is it really such a misguided opinion?
