You can't build a mid engined performer (and no, the Pontiac Fiero or Fiat X1/9 were not serious performance machines like the Corvette is) for under $85k MSRP. The current 2019 base C7 is $55,500. If this mid-engined car were to be the next gen Corvette (and not an additional model).. production would fall to 8-9k units per year at that higher ... (+$30k) msrp.
While I cannot fault your logic, never underestimate GM's lack of logic. While I really hope you are right, it's entirely possible they will ruin a great thing.
