Technically, you may be correct, but as far as I'm concerned, Corvette=front, Porsche 911=rear, then there's all the mid-engined cars =914, lots of Ferraris, MR2, Panteras, Ford GT and GT40, most Supercars, all with the standard mid-engined configuration. All have joined engine/transaxle arrangements.
Corvette has engine in front with transaxle in back. I enterptret engine behind driver to be=mid engined. Cars like the Viper and Corvette I consider front engined.

Cars like the DTM cars may also technically be mid-engined but I still view them as front engined cars with the engine moved really far back.

So, I guess was saying I wished GM would make a mid engined car with the engine behind the driver.
