Would you like to see a video about mid-engine sports cars? If so, please thumbs-up/upvote this comment!
This list automatically failed when you lumped a base model corvette in with supercars. There is a reason no other car on the list has anywhere near under 500hp. The corvette is a relatively cheap Chevy sports car, not anywhere close to a supercar. It has always been a bang for your buck sports car aimed at middle class people, hardly in the supercar league.
As always Props for the video :)Absolute Fantastic video 🙂
Cant wait for the corvette thatlle get released in that year in which i have enough money to buy corvette and have driving license.
CORVETTE STINGRAY C8 BEATS ANY COMPETITION!
