[TPR] Ford to build a mid-engine c8 killer?

Thu Sep 9 08:16:02 PDT 2021

Great review Dave…I  can imagine you cornering your C7 Z06 thru a corner just like you did in the Cup car. LOL

Lee Peterson just took delivery of his new 2021 C8 Z51. Says he loves it even more then the year he had after ordering it…says the handling reminds him allot of his Pantera except I am sure he is going to love it even more at speed after he breaks in the first 500 miles so he can  really open it up at PIR. I am sure we will all have a lot of questions for him in Ely next week.
