Default America's greatest sports car! on HD Theater
great show if you can catch it.


About Ford Cobra Daytona and Shelby development of it in attacking Ferrarri. Also how Caroll hated Enzo for his disregard for drivers lifes.

Easy does it hate is a strong word. Strange that Enzo himself never went to a race?
I always thought he never cared for racing and thought the drivers were nuts for risking there lives.

The show used the word HATE many many times. I'm only a few minutes into it, but they do indeed depict Enzo as a "must win at any cost" boss.
