Looking at our reveal prediction thread , over 50% have voted for the ME being revealed in January at the NAIAS auto show. I voted for the NAIAS reveal. Here is our still, open-to-vote poll:
https://www.midenginecorvetteforum.c...eal-place-date
Background: On October 12, 2012, at the Road Atlanta where the C6.R’s were racing, GM 1) showed the C7’s emblem, and 2) announced that the next generation Corvette’s reveal will be at NAIAS?
In talking with several Corvette ME aficionados lately, we agreed on some things:
A) That the most likely places for the ME’s initial reveal will be either the LA Auto Show (December 1st), or the mid-January, NAIAS show in Detroit;
B) To do a pre-reveal teaser program, GM would want at least a couple of months between the initial announcement that “on such and such date at such and such location, we will reveal the next Corvette generation,” and the actual, subsequent reveal date of the 2020 mid engine Corvette.
3) If the mid engine Corvette’s reveal were to be at the LA Show, making such an announcement would fit, timing-wise, with this Saturday’s Corvette Racing Dinner Banquet and Sunday’s the C7.R Laguna Seca race, but, conversely, that if nothing were mentioned this weekend about the ME, then the most probably location for that pre-reveal announcement would be the October 13th Petit LeMans weekend (and if the latter, that would probably best work, again with pre-reveal teaser timing, for the actual reveal to not be until NAIAS).
Picture
Question: Could this Saturday’s Corvette Race Dinner be the time to, at the end the evening after dinner’s powerpoint “20 Years of Corvette Racing” presentation, then next have a video of the ME at the Nurburgring, a screen shot of the next-gen emblem, and also announce that “the next generation Corvette will be revealed at X (location) on Y (specific date)”?
POLL: Is GM going to show the C8’s emblem and announce the late date of the car’s reveal and it location this coming weekend either at the Dinner or at Sunday’s C7.R race?
1) No announcements this weekend, just a Corvette Race Dinner & C7.R Race events.
2) This weekend, the C8’s emblem will be shown and GM will announce the ME’s reveal date and cation.
