Man, when he said we live in a society that tears things down instead of talking about the good was so accurate. Everyone wants to hate on something they didnt create or were involved in. This car is beautiful
True. The media creates an atmosphere of "I blame therefore I'm good". People will do anything for a moment under the lights.
I paused the video to write down that quote. :)
121bham Wise men speak because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something.
Durno , man so true, and most of the people tearing the Gt down will never own one.
We live in a society
This guys owns a 2017 Ford GT and doesn't have an iPhone 7. I love your style Jay, you're a truly car's enthusiast, hope one day I get to meet you.
Moises Sequera but he has a $700.00 Apple Watch lol
chpjimmy he's unique.
Moises, this car is the latest wiz bang phone with corresponding style and Needed features. All that's wrong with our modern high tech world catering to lazy people.
What does one have to do with the other?
What car enthusiast says chrysler hellcat 14:35
Random fact but I saw him making this video on the highway, we passed him and he gave us a wave!
That’s so sick
Wopididooo
Thanks for sharing that, I'll never wash this computer screen again!
Well i saw him and he asked me if I wanted to drive it. Lol
@@brucecalvert3887 😑 the lies
Jay- "This car is like champagne, I only drive it once a weekend, Its not a everyday car"
Also Jay- "I put about 1000 miles on it in the first week"
Well yeah, he had to break it in to see how it really moved. Plus it's that new toy feeling you know haha
Hahaha good one man
At 200 mph, that was just a 5 hour drive on Sunday. He left it in the garage for the next 6 days after that. 😉🤥😁
Well that was enough for that week and next week, another 1000
i think anyone in their right mind would drive the hell out of a car like this in the first week tho it literally pulls the 10 year old kid out of you
I used to hate Leno, as I get older (I'm 26 now) I have grown to love him, his demeanor and enthusiasm, and his corny jokes. Really, he is everything you could want from someone with his age and experience, and very few car reviewers seem as genuine as him. His experiences are HIS experiences, and anecdotal as they are, they are exactly what the industry needs. keep it up Jay!
I love the fact that Leno is a down to earth guy that truly loves cars. It really comes out in the reviews he does.
David Watson same here, I'm 28..I used to think him and his collection of cars was ridiculous and overboard. he truly appreciates and loves all of his rare unique vehicles and I applaud him for that
There are other people with substantial automotive collections that are never
shared with the general public,love what Jay does.
I've always liked Jay because he loves his Corvettes, the best super sports cars. Corvette > Ford GT.
Are you kidding me?
Jay Leno's application probably just said "I'm Jay Leno"
He's an unashamed Ford fan for sure, so good publicity for them.
Manufacturers love to sell to guys with their own network car show. Ford loves him; Aston Martin Loves him; McLaren loves him; Chevrolet loves him; Dodge loves him . . . well you get the idea.
Like he didn't just pick up the phone and say give me number 12!😂😂😂
Eric Borthistle can you imagine how long it took him to fill in the details of the classic and collectors cars he owns
To which they replied, "give", no, but we will sell you one Mr. Leno.
The AM radio option is what really sells this car.
Ha ha ha ha ha!
It is- after all- the little things that make the difference
It's just an appreciation for what it is... new school and all that snapchat is just a fad. This is timeless.
It's a bonus for me. I love AM radio..
It would irritate the 💩 out of me if it didn’t have AM radio. I still consider that to be necessary in a car radio. Even a supercar radio
Successful goals are like priceless treasures and require maximum attention to develop, which is called advice and pep talks and better opportunities for job opportunities and good work from the government.
That's a good point, but you don't just listen to speeches, you work, you work! work and work
I have met many financial coaches, but John Joseph is completely different. He said to me, "Forget about earning money and ask yourself how to double your income"?
He is a trader with whom I invest in real estate and stocks. that I always have to get used to turning a thousand into hundreds of thousands and not just spending it
great conversations happen here
😂😂 very good speech but they are right, even the trader mentioned above manages my boss' trading portfolio and is very good at his job
I could listen to Jay talk about cars for hours... I likely already have.
That's what we do here.
Denim Wikipedia
Shaun McCormack denim Wikipedia 😂😂😂
I've watched every single episode of the website. And I have a life!
Me too!
Too bad many missed Jay's remark about (paraphrasing) that we live in an era where the focus is on tearing something down rather than appreciating the accomplishments.
Yep.....
What accomplishments? It's a plastic appliance with no soul. Created by Fords marketing to get people to buy V6's. They failed on Raptor and in past on Turbo Coupe. And this car is just plasticky new wiz bang refridgerator yiu see at Lowes.
Duke Allen and yet it won at lemanns lol
Duke Allen lol your grammar reflects your credibility
Duke Allen Dude, you probably work at a retail store selling those fridges.
Jay’s reviews are so real and pure. I love that he calls out other reviews for talking crap about it for stuff that doesn’t matter like it’s too noisy etc.. that seems to be the trend of modern day car reviews - they point out faults where there is none. “This toaster is great and all, but it doesn’t make coffee!”
Jay talks about cars like I would, if I had to money to buy (and if I could fit in) a Ford GT. At 6'6", that's not going to happen.
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
When Jay did his goodbye on "The Tonight Show" he impressed me the most when his reference to his legacy. He showed all the people who were part of the show and their families, especially the children and he also said, " I am leaving the dance with the same girl I came with" or something to that effect. It could be that he pays attention to little details, like " if your going to have a pantie in the trunk of the GT make sure it is your wife's or you will loose half the car", :) . But comedy aside, he is a thoughtful, down to earth, man who has a brilliant clarity of thought and love's America and is proud of what America has done and what she is capable of. I see him finding joy where you can get it, like the smile you see on his face when he is driving his Miata or his Ford GT, "That won Le Mans" shows me happiness comes from with in.
That had me rolling laughing!! (Panties)
he put 1,000 miles on it within 1 week without driving it every day? [gentlemanly applause]
Michael Weston I want some more episodes of burn notice lol one of the best tv shows in a while
Michael Weston I know, that goes to show you it's an awesome car and Jays a true fan of it. Meanwhile you have Rob ferretti having a Ferrari 488 for 9 months and claims he's enjoyed it but only put 500 miles on it. I like the guy but that's absurd.
This is one of the main things I enjoy about Jay and his videos. He's a true enthusiast. He has an amazing collection of rare and beautiful vehicles, and he's DRIVING THEM. They're not sitting around, collecting dust, just being stared at. He's putting miles on them. I love that!
well, i've put 1200 miles on my 2001 toyota camry within 24 hours ...
Fi is tough to impress as well
1,000 miles in a week in a $500k supercar? Jay is/continues to be my hero
Ryan Edwards lol he's got Lamborghinis with 70-100k miles. Lol
Ryan Edwards this ford gt will have 100k miles in the next 5 years.
Bobby G. how many miles does jays 2005 gt have?
Ryan Edwards no matter the car, no matter how much it cost, no matter how expensive, or how rare it is Jay Leno will exercise the car. Which is why I watch him 👍👍👍👍👍
There's a guy somewhere around Maryland that has an 05 Ford GT with 4(FOUR!) miles on the odometer and it honestly makes me kind of sad. I mean it's their money and they can do what they want, but that's a machine that was built for a purpose that it has yet to be able to do. The only miles on the thing are from rolling it on and off the trailer.
The aero engineering behind that car will probably be my favorite until the day I die. Also it's "story". Ford did this out of left field for the 50th anniversary of winning LeMans "just to show them we still can". This car not only cuts through the air unbelievably good (notice it's main body is shaped no different than land speed record cars), it's design allows the car to gain exceptional speed in a draft. After it makes it's pass, it doesn't return the tow to the car now behind. This car functions more like trying to draft 3 motorcycles. It dumps a LOAD of the air it goes through directly behind it into the face of the car behind. It's truly brilliant. Another neat fact about it, it's foot print is as large as it gets because it was too slippery. They still needed to achieve some downforce so they made the surface area of the car bigger to allow the rake of the car to still have enough there to give it downforce. Race cars generate downforce two ways (from GT cars to prototypes). First are aero packages. Splitters, dive planes, gurneys, wings, etc. The next way is the rake of the car (nose height in relation to tail height).
Edit just to add a little more: While they could have kept the smaller footprint and increased the rake even more, that's dangerous. Rake doesn't just affect downforce. It primarily affects weight balance on each axle. If you rake the hell out of a car, it will be exceptionally "twitchy". Too much weight forward will make for a very unstable car, especially under braking at turn in. It's all about balance.
I was never envious of someone like Jay, who can afford a squadron of collectible cars - and a huge garage where they can properly be stored. He's worked hard over the years his money and he should be able to spend it like he pleases. After all, he does have his own TH-cam channel where he shares the cars with an admiring and approving public. Hats off to you, Jay!
Same here
And also Bruce from Peterson Museum and David Lee (Ferrari guy). Jay has saved ALL his tonight Show Money!! He spends his stand up money.
Jay still works standup a lot! I’d imagine he’s getting a decent buck for doing those shows. So yes Jay is a very talented guy combined with a beastly work ethic. Win win!
Can't be envious, we owe him thanks.
"oh shut up, it's a race car for the street" well said.
I'm not a Ford guy but that car is the best designed and looking car I've seen.
Gorgeous, I know, although I prefer the 2005 GT.
It is breathtakingly beautiful and cool looking. None like it
My exact thoughts. I just love the looks of the GTs.
Man, these vids where it's JUST Jay and a machine are my fave. No other people sucking up all the oxygen with their jabber; just Jay sharing his immense knowledge and passion.
I never thought Id wanna give ford a half million dollars, until I saw the GT. Stunning!
This 👉💯👋🎯
Ford GT 2017 - Unboxing
Jay is one of only few people who deserve this car.
Really? Love people like you discussing who deserves what.
It's called "Opinion".
Pretty sure anyone who can afford it deserves it but ok.
1 week - 1000 miles and i was like .... wait ! What ?
Liikavarvas2 No.
In an era where its fashionable to spit on America I’m glad to see a mainstream guy be so proud of his country and the accomplishments Ford has made not only in the automotive industry and racing scene but also the world. Good video jay
I'm proud of Ford for winning both the 1966 and 2016 Lemans. When I was a kid, Ford Motor Company was the origin of my dad's income. He worked for the company that delivered the Ford products out of Louisville Kentucky. Both the Louisville Assembly Plant and the Kentucky Truck Plant. I had an opportunity to see one the 1966 GT40s at the Sportsdrome race track in Jeffersonville Indiana. It was part of the "Mustang Tournament of Thrills" exhibition.
Most car journalists are snobby wanna be elitists. But J is literally a blue-collar millionaire and I love it.
Well, that is the illusion he is trying to sell you.
funkingitup I actually think the talk show host was the illusion. I think Jay is most at home in denims talking about cars.
rivolinho I think so, too. Especially because he often audibly groaned between jokes during his own monologues. :D
funkingitup jay doesn't have to be doing these videos. He does them for the love of cars and for the people.
his denim shirt has a blue collar, so yeah you're right.
Jay is the man..."for 10,000 dollars I can lose 10 pounds" rather than option the titanium exhaust
Marc Gilbert
TIT exhaust is best
straight pipe is best :)
Jay is smart. I like that he doesn't squander money. I really respect that.
@@MrOdeezie585 Absolutely right. Reminds me of the $450 dashboard air conditioning control knobs Jay declined to buy from Mercedes for his 280 SE. Opting instead to 3D print them. The irony is they appear identical to knobs in my 1976 240 D. Jay could have obtained them from an import salvage yard much cheaper I'm sure but having bought a high end printer why not use it to create a solution? I'm sure this same mindset plays into him owning not a single Ferrari.
Always a pleasure listening to Jay talk about the cars he owns and drives. It says a lot about a man who can afford to buy anything and doesn’t get the exhaust option because it literally doesn’t make logical sense to even purchase it. 🤙 Special shout out to Ken Miles and Carol Shelby for their brilliance in engineering and testing that help develop the GT we now see today.
Jay is a true ford guy. Love that. Doesn’t hate all other brands like mopar and Gm guys. Thanks jay, ford forever
Jay has TONS of Mopars, pretty sure he likes all cars
@@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS I know Jay loves Fords and most cars as I do but I have never seen him show any Mercurys which I'm surprised at because they have a ton of iconic cars like the Cougar Eliminator, the 49 thru 51 Mercs, the Marauders, and I could go on and yet I've never seen him review one. I've seen several Lincolns. I wonder why no Mercs?
@@mattmalone524 I don't know if he's reviewed them, but he owns a 1949 Mercury (stock) and a 1950 Mercury (chopped.) I believe that he owned an XR7 Cougar at some point as well. The chopped Mercury was either purchased from or sold to Billy Gibbons, I forget which.
@@RockandrollNegro Hi Marvin. My first new car when I was 21 was a 1979 Cougar XR7 and I have an 89XR7 supercharged V6 I bought in early 1990 with 5600 miles on it. It was the dealer's wife's car. Then of course I have 70 XR7 convt that you see in my profile pic and that was a project but it was a rust free car. I have an 04 Marauder and and an 03 TownCar my parents gave me when I was raising my daughter but now I need to get rid of a couple cars.
Jay is much more than a Ford guy. I appreciate your comment, truly. This man loves the automobile and WE are so blessed that , in his retirement, he shares his good fortune
Gotta love jay's reasoning. *I got it in black and orange because.... I liked it in black and orange.* Plain and simple.
IMO it looks terrible in black compare to Blue, Yellow, Red or Silver. As black doesn't so off all of it unique design.
grlmgor ye im not a yellow guy but the black and yellow on this car prob looks sweeett
I would reverse those colours so you can see all of the sexy aero dynamic.
grlmgor That a good choice.
Black with the white stripes is how I'd order it.
Jay Leno is probably worth $500 mill, yet he saves on the $10,000 exhaust addition on a 2017 Ford GT!!!! This man is pure class, man. Any other rich person would have been like "pshhhh 10 grand? add it to the tab! What else? ADD ALL THE EXTRAS idgaf if it cost me 1 mill extra" lol. Love that he still saves up here and there and actually thinks if it is worth 10K or not.
He knows what is B.S for the $$$ and what is not.
LiveLife 101 I love how he said he saved money on clothes so he could afford it haha hate his style, but at least he is humble
jay sold out period . he keeps his mouth shut and stays in line instead of revealing the truth
LiveLife 101 because he understands that his other 100 cars and 70 plus bikes need money also. Jays a class act guy. Not many like him and we're quickly losing them also.
500 million lol no way
Jay thanks for this awesome segment. I am a Matchbox / Hot Wheels collector and at 70 years "young" the closest I will probably ever come to the 2017 Ford Gt is the Hot Wheels model I have of the Le Mans winner, plus the total of 39 other Ford GT's from all eras which are in my collection. If I could attach a photo of my display case I would. But thanks again for the awesome segment on the GT.
"All the money I saved on clothes"---that one made me laugh.
With the follow up joke on why he didn't go with titanium exhaust "for $10K I can lose 10 pounds.
Me, too. I dress just like Jay, because I work with my hands.
Jay owns enough cars that he understands the subtle differences between them. Each car has a function and you have to respect the differences between them.
Never seen a car with suspension that adjusts that fast
Beck if only the 650s did that.... It's kinda embarrassing when your 200k car has to be lift and it takes a while to not damage the carbon front but these people with lame cars beeping their horns is annoying and make those with those type of cars look like a bigger assholes
Beck hello
Beck hello again.
even though the first time in a custom built mustang is exiting can make a difference between the new ride.
Dion Soto Custom built mustang?
I'm a late comer to watching these videos but listening to Jay is like being in your neighbors garage talking cars. The only slight difference is that Jay isn't holding a beer!
Love Jay's reviews. No crap. Man loves cars, loves driving. No pretensions and loves to send them up. Keep in mind he had a daily drive car of an Espanda.
This mans love for cars is inspiring.
Yes, doesnt matter if it's American, Japanese, British, German, Italian, V8, V12, V6, I6, I4, V10, W16, Twin Turbo or Supercharged, Automatic or Manual, Electric or ICE doesnt matter to Jay, he loves anything with an engine and wheels, thats a true car guy right there, shame that this new generation of car guys are so obsessed with numbers and lap times and tend to be biased towards their favorite manufacturer
HOONSTARS numbers I never cared about. I only like cool cars.
absolutely
Ford: What other collector cars do you have? Jay: Sit down, this may take a while...
Ford: What other collector cars do you have?
Jay: YES.
Yeah was thinking the same thing... geez this could take a while, bring me some extra paper haha
@Bilal Khalid: "Work?"
Bilal Khalid you beat me to it - clarkson was genuinely impressed I think.
😆😂🙂
The guys at Ford must be glowing right now! Beautiful machine....
Jay, I think it was made in Canada, but that is still North America. I am so proud of you as a collector to own this stunning automobile. It is a beauty. I like the 2005 as well. Being old school that one is my favorite.
Yes, Markham Ontario
The extent of Jay's application: "Hey, I want one"
We'll give you No.12, your Royal Highness.
Mr Jay Leno, you are the only guy that has so many cars, is so wealthy and still seems like a regular guy. I do not ever feel you are a rich jerk and that is why I appreciate your videos the most.
Yes, and he's even got a Vector W8, I always look forward to his outlook on cars that I'm interested in.
You forgot that he is also one of those rich guys that actually drives his car... They dont just sit around in his garage not even putting 10 miles on it like other people
Good to see sheep appreciating the wolf. :-P
Yeah, he said several times he had about 1k miles on this GT at the time. He then later mentioned that he put those 1k miles on the car in about a week. Granted he used to car to film this episode, but all the in-car shots could have probably been done with less than 50 miles of driving. He has more cars than he could ever drive regularly, but it sounds like he just enjoys cruising around and flogging on them a bit in his free time.
Jay makes some really great points about the open direspect this Ford GT got when it came out.
Much like the bizarre futuristic styling of the new McLarens , people had to actually learn about the car before they could appreciate everything that the styling represents,
I get a smile on my face everytime I look down the side of the car past those huge radiators in the rear fender wells.
Compromise was never engineered into the Ford GT,
Thank you to the entire Ford team who represented American greatness by building this car and winning LeMans.
And to Jay Leno for showing us why we should appreciate their efforts.
It’s amazing how good this car sounds, with a V6!
I was gonna get this car, but after seeing the boot space I decided to go for a Fiesta instead. Gotta have space for groceries and six packs.
Jemster So you went from a supercar to a hatchback
Yeah, I was going to buy one too, but they wouldn't install roof racks so I could carry sheets of drywall.....
oh well.....
Same
Jemster I was gonna get one too, but then I realized it was a Ford and then on top of that it is that Eco-Bust V6...garbage.
Mr. Slenderman Yeah a Ford with a super car status that competed with more "prestigious" European cars in the Rolex 24 in Daytona and one two times. But yeah what do I know?
i got a total kick out of watching your face when you spoke about the car. it was easy to tell you actually loved it. not just liked it, but loved it.
No Jay struggled to discuss the car. The whole show was aimed at critisism of this car. Jay knows it got no soul, style and created by marketing people. It's an appliance.
I do not think it is physically possible to hate Jay Leno, he is such a good guy man
Tell Conan what a great guy he is.
Jay is patient. Nice to listen to him. He’s locked in on the subject.
Say what you want about Jay as a Talk Show Host, but he is definitely a cool guy and is surprisingly easy to talk to. Used to see him around Burbank all the time when he was doing the Tonight Show. Always driving something different, of course... I once saw him pull out of NBC in a Corvette, and decided to rag on him at the stoplight about the Vette not being exotic enough. I was in an SUV, and most celebrities would just look the other way and then scoot when the light turned green. Not Jay. He leans over and rolls down the window and had me repeat my taunt.
When I told him I didn't think a Corvette was up to his standards, he launched into an excited little description about the car and its "carbon fiber front-end" and etc., etc.
Then, he asks me if I would like a pizza. He was taking a couple of them home from work and handed me one out the window: "It's good pizza", he says! Then he gets his left turn arrow and off he goes, up Buena Vista, toward his garage at Burbank Airport. I immediately went down the street to the stables where I kept my horse and tried to see if anyone could guess where I got the pizza I was sharing with them!
Great anecdote. Thanks for sharing it.
EchoZulu. I would love to hang out with Jay and talk about cars. He seems cool, and he has so much knowledge.
My Grandpa met Jay Leno and had a signed photo of Jay in the vintage race car he was working on at the time (Old Yeller 2). Since he passed away I now have that photo and whenever I look at it I just wish I could meet Jay.
EchoZulu you're a liar
Liberal Guns Matter - 10-year-olds should not be speaking to their Elders (and/or their Betters). I believe it is past your bedtime. If you knew anything at all about Jay Leno and his relationship with Burbank, you wouldn't question my story.
Here''s another for you - I am one of the only people that has seen Jay ride a horse! He was doing 'promo spots' for his new 10 o'clock show and went around our neighborhood (it was a setup, of course) knocking on doors to ask what he could do to help people get ready to watch his new show. My neighbor had him clean out her horse's stall and then let Jay ride the horse down the street on camera. It was done at 10 p.m., and Jay had a small crew of camera/sound/Producer, the horse owner, and two of us neighbors there to witness it.
Consider this a bedtime story. Now off you go. I'll be up to tuck you in a little later. F'in Snowflake...

Hey Jay .I'm just a regular old guy from Alabama , huge car nuts .but I just want to tell you from all of us car people out here that we really really do enjoy your show .I know you're probably not making a lot of money at it , heck it's probably costing you money to do this show, but we appreciate what you do and we love the fact that you love cars the way we love em. and it's nice to see a guy out there with the ways and the means of enjoying it the way you enjoy em. Keep it up man. Vrooomvrooom!
These videos are so enjoyable and relaxing. Hes the real deal.
While driving his half million dollar quasi-race car he notes how much he appreciates the AM radio... 😀👍
It's over a million.
@@ocrapo9327 when he bought it, it was about $500,000. He says it was half a million dollars.
@@ocrapo9327 He said it's half million.
Thanks Jay. This review of Ford GT is not like any other in internet. It's brilliant!
Toyota Cresta 1981 are you gonna make any more videos on your cresta? I had an 87 Cressida and they aren't many videos on them
Also, first subscriber lol
Yes, I will make some videos in the future... Now I should make some))
I'm so proud of Ford for their incredible work. To come back and sweep LeMans and the Eurotrash, just gives me chills
I love your reviews. They are "car guy" oriented. Not fluff- real driver impressions and sufficient technical depth. Thanks and please keep it up!
Jay's ordering procedure:
Jay: Hey guys can I get one of those new GT's?
Ford: Sure
Jay: Can it be # 12 like my ' 05?
Ford: Sure
That's was when the whole dealership fell all over themselves trying to get the order in...
I have absolutely no problem believing that could happen for real.
Americans are great people for that kind of stuff. A major American world-wide automobile manufacturer doing a very small favour (give him a production number that matches his older 40) for a world-famous American comedian. It's a no-brainer, it's great PR, it's for sure going to be on Jay Leno's garage on TH-cam, and that aside, it is the kind of thing one American would do for another. You are an exceptional group of individuals.
@@deltavee2 Thank you for the praise my friend. Much appreciated and you have a blessed day!
Jacob Curtis stupid comment
@Rusty Highlander , nice one!!!!
"I don't drive it every day"
Puts on 1,000 miles in a week
Break in period !
I know that you're joking, but when you get an awesome new car you will likely use it more in the first 1-2 months than after that. I totally understand his champagne metaphor.
It’s meant to be driven not setting in a garage
1,000÷7
=142.8571428571 miles per day. Or 143 mph for an hour a day....sounds doable and fun!
Like the other 9 million cars he has sitting there? lol
Jay is spot on with respect to winning Le Mans. The unfortunate thing for Ford (and us fans) was that the win coincided with the final game of the NBA playoffs and didn't get a fraction of the attention it deserved.
Jay Leno.. you got me. The historical background on the cars you share, the Owen electric 1 especially, made me a true fan. Good work.
I like that they didn't clean the GT that won the race. Battle scars.
FUB
Jay is more knowledgeable than most automotive historians... Love it!
automotive historians, Do you get a Diploma for that, a PHD? If Jay isn't classified as an automotive Historian (or whatever) I don't know who is!
+S UU
autohistory.org/
"The Society for Automotive Historians."
Anyway, regardless of credentials, I'm sure Jay's overall car knowledge is definitely up there.
built-in Canada
He calls his collection of Imperials 'Chryslers'. FAIL right there.
wiibaron bla bla bla
Jay Leno you have all the coolest cars in the World!
Thanks Jay. 36 mins I didn't mind missing from my life. The color combo is nice and the MOST beautiful car body ever. I still think the 2005 the most iconic.
The Ford GT is a track assassin!!!Jay is a humble soul..one of my favorite channels
"If you do go on a trip and your wife finds a pair of panties in there, make sure they are hers or you will lose half the car." Jay's a savage
Words to live by.
Charles Avery Media 😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Jay will make sure he gets the half with the engine.
You would know
was an iconic motor car 50 years ago and its even more incredible 50 years later...wow
You obviously are a great driver, but an even better salesman. We can trust you...and you tell a wonderful story! It is a great car and looks like it, and maybe the best of its kind, which is saying a lot. I ask, why did 1,500 people who bothered to invest 37 minutes in watching it, give it a thumbs down? What is not to like? These folks must've woke up in a poopy mood. What did they think that this was going to be like? This car literally honks! Owning this car is one of the perks of being wealthy. I liked it, Jay.
This is such a great show... Jay being Jay... a regular car guy who loves cars. Obviously it is professionally produced, lighting, sound etc, but its Jay just being one of the guys. Too cool. Thank you Jay
Rick Hutton hes anything but regular
Cruise Control is there to help ya not get tickets.
Rick Hutton you said it all. Jay is a down to earth motor head that knows his cars.
Your right. He's not. This is my first episode and it reminded of my Uncle, except the fact he's rich, actually funny, and a celebrity. Okay nothing at all like my real Uncle, but still I was a big fan of this episode.
Jay is knowledgeable, down to earth and can talk like a real fan of a Citroen DS as well as a Ferrari. He's the real thing and always a pleasure to watch.
The number of people claiming the car didn't win at Le Mans is baffling. It won its class. It isn't an LMP car.
Last year..this year they lost to an old Aston.
kraenk12 Ferrari and ford got cheated this year. they turned the boost down on both
kraenk12 - That "old Aston" has a factory backed race team this season for the first time years. Calling it an "old Aston" is completely neglecting the substantial amount of financial backing this team had & the substantial developmental resources that it had received that it didn't previously. If you understand how 'Balance of Performance' is applied, you'll understand how this came to be an unforeseen advantage in the performance balance of each car(suffice to say, they take into account the model's previous historical race performance).
Also, just like the Corvette(which has no problem maintaining pace, despite its relative age), the Vantage GTE went through significant upgrades & improvements as a result of the major regulation changes that occurred at the end of the 2015 season/the following off-season. And, given that cars are balanced to each other by the sanctioning body, age doesn't make a whole hell of a lot of difference if the base was good to begin with.
The Mclaren F1 wasn't an LMP car either, and it won outright. Also, I would hope to god that you win Le Mans with all the financial backing of one of the largest Automakers in the world. It's why Audi/ Porsche have dominated for the past 2 decades. My cynical side tells me that Ford only wanted to win Le Mans for the publicity and marketing of the GT.
You clearly don't know how BOP works, do you?
I agree with your assessment of Launch Control!
A dream car, but the sound of the original GT40 is something unique, it gives you chills and you could listen to it like your favorite hit songs.
Jay, I'm a long time viewer first time commenter... I'd like to thank you so much for sharing your life's hobby and passion. I enjoy all the shows; the real insights, comments from an actual owner. Please keep it coming.
Jay is doing every thing short of offering a turn at the wheel. The man is really sharing as much as possible the experience of purchasing and owning this car. He likes cars and people is seems.
Something straight out of a Speedracer cartoon. I love the design.
Wonderful episode, Jay! Interesting thing about engines- the thing does not to be 'exotic' to have won an incredibly tough race. That the engine may have (probably loosely) been based on a truck engine and got parts out of the 'Ford parts bin' is a total stick in the eye of the Paganis, the Ferraris, the McLarens. Very American. Freakin' amazing. Love it.
Better than all of them.
Yes, I love America can still get things right. I've owned a Porsche, but that is just not practical. 😊
This video shows Jay Leno is the real deal, very humble and down to earth even though he can afford a supercar garage. His overview of the new GT pretty much silences all criticisms of this amazing machine.. A true blue collar hero (pun intended).
Clearly that trunk is to store the asbestos glove you need to check the oil without burning yourself.
station240 lol
i thought the same thing ...
You Check the oil in the morning on flat ground So the oil can drain down and get the best reading, Also only add oil when it get's to a quart low.
LOL
Nice grin on Jay's face while driving. He likes it!
Thank you soooo much Jay for taking the time to share your thoughts and experiences with all these beautiful automobiles you have on your show, your show is clearly world class and clearly the best show on these days, I can't watch anything else, Thank you Jay for letting me feel like a part of it, your a great guy...
When jay was ordering this on the phone, I bet you the car was delivered to him before he even hung up the phone!
A real car guy, he's known in L/A as a real nice down to earth guy!
Well, if they gave him someone else's car, yes. But my impression of Jay is, he'd wait the normal time and get one built for him.
Chances are, he gets advance knowledge, though. That way he can do things like order a specific (and low) serial number.
What the heck, he earned it! (unlike any politician who got one of these)
@@KutWrite He got the first 2005 Ford GT that was sold to the public. So, the guys at Ford know him... and like him!
Come on , its Jay Leno. He is just a common man who done really well and never forgot were he came from . Love ya Jay , good luck with the double 12 s.
❤
Awww
Timothy Sanders Bingo!
Living legend for sure and we all love Leno.
One of the most beautiful cars, ever.
Thanks Jay for sharing your hardware with us. I get a lot of joy by listening to your insightful comments about the toys you own. I can tell that you enjoy sharing them as well, and that makes it even more authentic. Be encouraged and keep up the good work.
I wish I could be out there with Jay Leno showing me his cars, taking rides, and getting history lessons. He's an American treasure
Watching this, enjoying the video after putting my boy to bed and it occurred to me as I watched Jay talking about this car, cars in general, Lemans, the buying experience, engineering, Lemans, street and track features, Lemans... and it just struck me it would be nice to have him as a friend. Forget the cars, take away the money, all that. I relaxed watching this. A huge thing. Like guys relax talking to their friends about cars or bikes or boats or carpentry. The conversation was familiar, a conversation I've had with friends on many topics. Even though I wasn't doing any of the talking, I didn't need to, I got everything Jay said. I got it. Thank you Jay Leno for this moment of peaceful appreciation and enjoyment. Its way too rare.
MAYBE YOUR BOY WILL ENJOY THE VIDEO'S WITH YOU.
Well Said Hillslam. I thought the same thing. Just a car guy like us.
Well said bro........
Had the same thought!
seriously?Are you leveling with us /have you hit your head on the door jamb? I would have to be extremely hammered to be taking carpentry,maybe needle point and sewing.
I love that Jay uses his cars.. what a Legend!
Jay makes these shows fun he tells about everything but I don’t feel like it’s to much. Thank you Jay your the best
Epic!!! What a beauty! American engineering at its finest!!! Well done, Ford!
spudnic88. That's what I was going to say. It's like if Jamel Moore was talking about the new NSX and comments "Epic!!! What a beauty! Japanese engineering at its finest!!! Well done, Honda!"
This is a real car guy giving a real review. Not one of those tools at MT, RT or what ever outlet that think their jobs are to complain then complain again.....unless it is German.
RayJ-HT journalists have a bad habit of being snobbish with things they review, so you have to take their word with a grain of salt. Sometimes you need to ask yourself "was this a failure or were my expectations unrealistic?"
*10 Things I HATE About the Ford GT*
I hate youtube sometimes lol
I cancelled my subscriptions to those magazines, for that very reason. If it isn't German, its inferior. I have heard that before.....................................................
RayJ-HT ...lets face it, the Germans make better cars.
thats cause the germans are great
Yes, Jay you are so unselfish. The way you share your success with us “common” folk is so heart warming. Maybe “common folk” isn’t the right term. Jay you don’t carry yourself as an elitist at all, in my opinion. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your success.
Thanks for sharing the feature/option selection process ('the things you get'). That's the stuff mere mortals never get to see. Jay's smile at 25:35-38 is genuine and heartfelt.
I know. Genuine. So much better than late night shows these days. They talk down to you. Not Jay.
Such a Dude, for 10 Grand, I can lose 10 lbs... You're alright Jay you're alright.
Who's paying 10 grand to lose 10 lbs?
@Dougie
DOES
Boomer humor
@Dougie Right when you were taking that hit of the bong
@@Ck-jj2ku The titanium exhaust is 10 lbs lighter, cost $10k more.
For $10'000 I can lose 10 lbs 😂😂😂
Gorgeous car in every way. Not a Ford fan, but a GT devotee. The red one, just like the one Clarkson drove up to Niagara is just out of this world.
Yep, I agree. I've been watching Jeremy and the boys through the Top Gear, and now Grand Tour for 2 decades.
Although, I don't understand people who say they're not a fan of this manufacturer or the other. Is that going back to some hick Ford vs Chevy vs Dodge thing they grew up with?
I've had all kinds of cars and trucks since the 80's, and been happy with them all, quirks and all.
Is there a way to tour Jay's garage? Good grief is that a national treasure.
You gotta love Jay. He knows so much & has such passion for all types of vehicles it's truly amazing. I love his show & his channel.
Yes. Jay is an awesome car enthusiast! He gives great insight into the Ford GT. He brings a lot of knowledge to his reviews.
am sure he s already taken
I think Jay is the only guy in LA that actually uses his turn signal!
This is the first time in a video he's actually used it to be fair; he never normally does.
Turns signals are redundant 90% of the time. If your already in a lane designated for turning why keep the signal on for 3 minutes?? Guy behind you is turning, guy in front of you is turning....who the hell do you have your signal on for?? LOL Now switching lanes or 1 lane roads I can understand.
Hey look everyone another LA. IDIOT!!
Wrong I use my turn signals.... Focus ST...
This is such a great channel. I thoroughly enjoy your episodes Jay. Cheers
Thank you Jay, for sharing your car collection with us. It is so cool to see them all. Ford is definitely my favorite!
