There is a more concrete reason to believe that. The early mules used a C6 GS body, and the wheels were not filling the wheel wells because they were located too deep inside the body.

I think it will have 911 type rear seats as an option. They could do like Porsche where you have to pay extra in the GT3 RS to remove the rear seats, AC, and radio. I think I will wait for the C7 FF 4dr. Since GM is copying the F12, a C7 FF is around the corner, lol.

I could not wait any longer, so I contacted the "Long Island Medium", here is what she said.
1. Base engine V6
2. Like Porsche there will be a 4 door model.
3. The A/T is being replaced with CVT.
4. There will be a ZR1 version, which will use an update of the old Bugatti 60 valve engine.
............should I go on?

OK, I'll play:
1. 3,000 pounds (+/- 50) in BASE trim
2. Narrower front tires (than a base C6) because of lower weight and to decrease tramlining
3. 465 HP
4. No AFM on manual transmission
5. Much improved interior (that's an easy one)
6. More color choices than C6
7. F55 standard
8. Battery in back
9. NO BACK SEAT
10. MSRP $52,000

you can bet that if the Viper shrunk so will the Corvette...GM wants this car to have universal appeal and that means it needs to "fit" on their streets.
#35
I can only imagine that the later C6 wide bodies kind of flew in the face of that effort.

That's because with the C6 the primary market was still the US....this however will change with the C7 which could mean no more wide body Corvette

ok, I'll play too...whatheheck....
An infotainment screen that will drive owners nuts with quirky glitches, unresponsive touch controls, and voice commands that get no response, or one completely opposite of what was requested. (think Ford MyTouch...I have one and it drives me crazy!)
An awful body color , such as a metallic white or a phlegm green....which seems to be mandatory now with all new cars
Runflats will continue to be the factory default tire
that's it for now...

That's what I think could happen. The C6 was the first generation to do this wide stuff. We'll just have to wait and see if it is the last.
