I like it, also like the class it races in, proper sports car racing

I assume you mean that is racing?

Did Ford ever put any of the 2 most recent GTs on the track?

I think they should have gave it a new name and continued the Corvette. $120k price tag is crazy. It's ruining the affordable super car that can compete with the world's best. I've never liked the Vette styling but totally respect their capabilities. It's an Icon. Any connection to the past? I don't see it.

But the new corvette is mid engined. Things change. Corvette's had a pretty long run (longer than the 911) since 1953, every year except 1983.

Pssh, how many were made? Did they ever make any other than what ended up on posters in teenager's bedrooms? What was the last, the W12?
