I have built a couple (19 seconds)
Now that things got some nuts!!
A buddy of mine has the same in a f100 390, I've been bugging him to take it to the track after I gave it a proper tune
agreed 100%The original GT40 is an iconic car and the 2005 & 2006 Ford GT was a tribute to that car. Both are a beautiful and sexy. The newer GT does nothing for me.
Ford may not have thought abut scoring. I've exactly the reason, was it he didn't cross finish first in the 3 car crossing.What Ford did to Ken Miles at Le Mans was unforgiveable.
The only saving grace was that a Kiwi pedalled the car that was eventually and unfairly declared the 'winner'.
agreed 100%
I would love to own an original, But there on a different level than I am
I cannot believe that Jeremy Clarkson bought one thinking he could drive it around.I have a friend who has an authentic replica GT40 and I can’t fit in it. I’m 5’-11” and my head is above the roofline and the only way I cans get my legs under the dash is to turn them at an angle.
For posterity (in case anyone here actually cares )Here ya go boys! Now you too can afford to own one!

Just like the new Corvettes, disgusting. In 05 when the Ford GT tribute came out, I went to a nearby dealer for a look. MSRP was about 185K and they were willing to discount it. I didn't even ask because it was a Ford.The newer GT does nothing for me
Why is it that you find the new Corvette disgusting? Sure, it took 50 years after they promised to put the engine where it belongs, but what don't you like about it? Is it too slow?Just like the new Corvettes, disgusting. In 05 when the Ford GT tribute came out, I went to a nearby dealer for a look. MSRP was about 185K and they were willing to discount it.

Corvettes have always been on the cutting edge of new technology, some good, some bad. Nothing wrong with the engineering or speed capabilities. The outward appearance and design is what disgusts me about their latest offerings. I owned a number of them from 69-82, but the lemon in 82 was the one that broke me from suckling eggs. First year for the 700-4R, and crossfire injection both disasters. Mine didn't make it the 7 miles home from the dealership before having to be picked up with transmission trouble. It spent more time being repaired at the dealership than it did with me in the 7 months I owned it. Crossfire injection didn't last long, and the 700 R4 transmission was constantly improved to make a make a good and reliable piece.Why is it that you find the new Corvette disgusting?
