Excited to see if this develops further.
I agree with this. The fact that the nose is so long essentially rules out the mid engine possibility. There would be so much weight in the back that would put it off balance. That said, I believe this is likely an M8 CS or CSL.

EDIT: A grand tourer is not a Corvette rival.
