I loved the mid engine Corvette concept cars through the years especially the ‘76 Aerovette so my vote naturally goes to the C8.

I voted tie, if it were not for the '53 we would never have the C8. The C8 is a head turner for sure and the technology and performance are truly remarkable. That aside, the C8 is no longer the Corvette as we knew and loved from the get go. The C8 is a Ferrari look-a-like. To me it lost its identity. They no longer have the long hood and short rear deck, a Corvette trademark...now it's just the opposite.  Would I buy one? First off I'm much too old. I have a 2013 Grand Sport with less than 40K miles that I purchased new and it still drives and looks like new...and it's paid for. Am I still a Corvette fan, you can bet on it!

I voted a tie.  I'm not a huge fan of either design but I sure love all the years in between!

@sizedoesmatter I agree with you John.  The new Vette reminds me of a car in the Lambo/Ferrari design category, which has never really been any more than a casual interest.  No question it is an engineering marvel and the price is great considering the class it is now in....but it's just not my thing.
