Funny how human it is. The leader of one of the largest most powerful automobile companies on the planet and all he wanted was to show his father what his company had created.
Yes imagine yourself driving or driven in something that goes from 0 to 60 in 2 business days then you try what was probably the ultimate race car of it’s time
@@tigersfan14agreed! He came from a line of men who made nice cars for the working man. To confront in person what the technology that his family helped advance like that must have been an incredible experience.
I had the exact same reaction! I thought it was a big man getting knocked down a few pegs, but it was a man going back to his childhood admiration for his father
That didn't happen in real life, but for the story it tells in the movie it works incredibly great. You really get a feeling for the friendship they had not just in the movie but also in reality.
@@Ulteras27 I was thinking exactly the same thing. That very last line was good, but - there’s no way that Carol Shelby would have, in a million years, given him ownership of his company. No way. And no way he would’ve even made that offer. Great scene in a great movie, though.
Funny how this is *the* scene that shows the true power of the GT. Not the Daytona race, not the Le Mans showdown, but a quick little backyard lap with 200 pounds of extra weight.
I've watched racing my whole life. Loved playing NFS and Forza. My dad had some sports cars while I was growing up, so I knew what it was like to go 115 MPH. I never knew just how fast, powerful, and exhilarating a race car was until I went for a few quick laps during a track warmup one day. Through my job, I got invited to a track for a race a couple of years ago, and I went over a day early to check everything out in the pits. Funnily enough, I kind of knew one of the drivers from the gym (we both worked out late at night and usually among the only ones there, so we recognized one another). He asked if I wanted to ride shotgun with him for a couple of laps, and I happily agreed. I got geared up, and one of the crew members helped strap me in. After he clipped the buckle, he looked up at me and said, "Get ready for the most fun you'll ever have with your clothes on." Gary hit it right then. Oh my goodness. I'm immediately slammed back into the seat from the G forces, and for the next ten minutes, it was pure adrenaline and excitement. 195 mph down the straightaways. 120 mph through the turns. The car is rattling my bones when Gary slams the accelerator. And I'm just grinning like a dumb kid. When I saw this scene, I thought it was perfect because that's what I felt like. I remember being slammed back into the seat and screaming, "OH BABY!!"
What most people seem to forget is that Henry Ford didn't just make a powerful long-lasting brand of motorcars, but he also helped to pioneer the Weekends that most all Businesses have to this very day. Henry's the reason why people can take their Saturdays off from work to rest and relax with their families.
2:00-2:50 And the best part is, even though he's clearly uncomfortable with this, Shelby can't even be mad or that uncomfortable because he understands something of what Henry Ford's going through...
A lot of people think when he says he wishes his father could see this he means Henry ford, Edsel Ford (Henry’s son) was his father and the reason we had stylish fords in the 30s and 40s bc he was very interested in what a car was capable of and how good they can look so yes edsel would absolutely love the gt40
Edsel would've been elated. Along with his son, he'd be crying and laughing too, probably telling Shelby "I've been dreaming of this car for my whole life."
Shelby IS still a name that brought Ford little bit higher on vehicle industry standards :) if Shelby didnt get involved in Fords path we wouldnt see such great machines like GT40 or Cobra
“The name on the center of the wheel should tell you I was born ready, Shelby. Hit it.” “Attaboy.” Even when other details of the film get murky , I always remember this scene.
@YernBelfus400 I can appreciate recognizing the difference, but to me, whether fiction or nonfiction, the feelings a man experiences and the emotions that stem from them are the heart of my comment. I may have taken forvgranted that pretty much everyone knows that anything made in Hollywood is a large % fictional, even based on a true story.
Those who have ridden in with a fantastic driver know... It is an amazing experience beyond words. Everyone should feel unbridled power. Then, and only then, will they appreciate the talent it takes to drive.
so true I grew up watching MOTOGP and F1 but never really experienced how does race bike and race cars feel like Until Recently I drove Kawasaki H2 and all other liter bikes only then I fully understand the guts and the skills those riders have. I really have a new whole appreciation for those guys.
It’s my life’s dream. I’ve been behind factory power before and got that itch for more and ever since then I’ve wanted to sit in with an experienced driver and let them go balls to the wall. The best roller coaster only a few get to experience.
i was a sports-journalist in the 1980s in austria and had the pleasure to be invited to a press day with niki lauda and the then new mercedes 190 e 2,3-16v on the famous salzburgring racing circuit. niki was driving 3 of us journalists on a quick round: when he approached the famous fahrerlager-kurve flat out at about 240 km/h i thought: "if he doesnt brake now, we are all dead". niki braked about 150 meters later, calmly explaining: "with the fully loaded car i have to brake a bit earlier, because the tires are still cold." since then i know that we normal humans cant really drive a car, we just can keep them on the road
Unfortunately for me, I've never met anyone who has a vehicle like that, who drives it competently. Everyone I know that did have one...well... They don't have anything anymore.
Money isn’t real you dope. Is $9,000,000 $9,000,000 or is it $84,000,000? HUMMINAH HUMMINAH HUMMINAH. Money is the barrel of the gun to the back of your head instead of your forehead. You do all the work. Your boss makes all the money. Wake the fuck up.
It's been said before, but it bears repeating this scene makes all of the acting he put in to playing Ford sensational. To be a man riding on the arrogance his family name grants him to be both torn down from on high and lifted beyond hights he even knew existed at the same time, and to take an audience believeably on that roller coaster. Also, real or not the all or nothing bet Shelby lays on the table in this scene is the most subtle best friend energy ever. You don't bet your lifes work on "if." Shelby knows it, and Ford knew it too.
I only saw Ken Miles once, before all the Ford excitement. It was at a road race on the grounds of the old California State Fair. He was driving a MG special called the Flying Shingle. I thought he looked kind of odd and wore these shoes that resembled "spinster shoes". I realized that they had no sole beyond the edge of the shoe which allowed his feet to fit into the narrow footwell and he had a very aerodynamic face, a very sharp nose and he was lean. Also there was a driver there with a red Ferrari his name was Phil Hill.
This movie came out right after my dad passed away. This scene made me ball like a child. My dad didn’t like racing or anything like that but I understood it.
I race my car and always wanted to bring my dad along but couldn’t because of his health. Every time I see that part I regret so much not bringing him along, cause I know he would’ve liked the experience of taking some laps. I wanted him to feel that feeling too. R.I.P. dad😢
I love this movie. This scene. The fight on the lawn with the groceries. Leo being a dick to Pete. And the final death of Ken Miles. And thats just off the top of my head. Its one banger scene after another.
Henry Ford II was named after his grandfather, Henry Ford. Etzel Ford was Henry Ford II's father who died of stomach cancer at age 49. Etzel always wanted to bring Ford into racing and build fast cars but his father wouldn't allow it. Etzel had loved cars since he was a toddler and raised his son to love cars too. Etzel Ford would have loved to feel the power of the GT and see how far Ford has come. He was taken too soon.
God I HATE this character. Such a fucking little bitch who kissed ass and wanted his ass kissed which why he constant fucked Ken Miles over. Ken wouldn’t do that. I wanted to see him really get his ass beat when he screwed him out of winning the race at the end.
The slowing down part was technically real. Ford wanted his 1-2-3 finish with them all crossing the same time. The next year, he got what he really wanted: American built car (Mk IV built here vs Mk II in England), American built engine (427), and American drivers winning Le Mans (Foyt and Gurney)
This reminds me of the video gag where the profession driver goes driving with the driving instructor and she ends up whooping and hollering and enjoying herself a little too much.
Without Shelby ford wouldn’t have kept rising the way it did, guaranteed. Nobody brags about a plain old mustang, but a Shelby mustang is something you yell about lol

I really feel like Matt should have been nominated for something for this performance. Its subtle yet, for the first time, I feel as though im watching a different person. I dont normally feel that with him.
Henry II was so damn impressed with the car he crapped his drawers trying to channel his daddy and Grandpa Ford too. It nearly gave him a heart attack. "Boy you found yourself a winner now get out there to Le Mans and win that damn race and show em all us American boys can win at Le Mans." I can hear the Ford ancestors saying show em and take the checkered flag and bring home the trophy . 💪🏁🏁😎
Lol. This scene never happened in real life. The movie is almost entirely fictional. The 1966 Le Mans win was not an American victory, it was a British victory. In reality, the "Ford GT40" was the British Lola Mk6 with the word "Ford" stuck on it. The team was British. Driver Ken Miles was British. Even the Ford engines were built in Britain.
@owilliams1031 There were two different engine families used in the "Ford GT40" British Lola Mk6. Most were built with the 289 small block. A few were built with the 427 FE engine. The 427 FE was also used in NASCAR and drag racing, but the two engines were very different. The British-built 427 FE engines for the "Ford GT40" British Lola Mk6 had British-made aluminum cylinder heads, a lower compression ratio, a magnesium dry-sump oiling system, and many other differences. They were much more tame than the drag racing and NASCAR versions of the FE, because they had to run for 24 hours, mostly at full throttle.
To be fair, it was Henry Ford, Sr. that made the Deuce Coupe of 1932, the V-8 powered flathead Ford. He must have liked fast cars, because he gave America the first mass-market V-8 and he gave Hot Rodding it's first great car.
This makes for a good movie scene, but it is just plain silly, no Ford executive had to be convinced of anything. The idea of entering Le Mans was their idea to begin with. Here is what Ford through their racing division actually did: They went to England and hired Eric Broadly to design and build the first cars. (Shelby did not design them.) He based them on his design for the Lola Mk6 GT. They did all the wind tunnel work and engine development, including extensive durability testing on sophisticated dynamometer equipment. They set up a small but well-funded subsidiary, Kar-Kraft, to develop many parts such as transmissions and other mechanical parts, continue the design of the car, assemble it, and do many other things. Kar-Kraft adapted the final engine choice, the big stock car based engine, to the chassis. They gave cars to Shelby AND Holman-Moody AND Allan-Mann Racing (England) for on-track testing and development. Holman-Moody, of stock care fame, was barely mentioned in the movie and Allan Mann never was. The quick-change brakes (they showed it as an entire suspension change in the movie) were a Holman-Moody development. Ford coordinated the best efforts of these three so the resulting cars were the same. All three teams raced them. It doesn't seem that Ford hindered the effort in any way. They coordinated the whole thing. They were the ones who made it happen.
What’s the problem? Straight cut gear whine and correctly shifting with his right hand as the stick is to the right in the GT40. Also the Ferrari 330 P3 they raced against was right hand drive and stick to the right.
@@sparky4878 i most definitely was referencing the infinite upshifts in Bullitt, a famously well known flaw in that movie. Its pretty easy to hear if you've ever driven stick.
@@jordanricker4948all I’ve driven are manual. It’s the norm in my country to learn to drive manual. Sadly more and more cars are being built as automatics.
A fantastic movie I enjoyed every second I worked in the Automotive industry. Shelby was a bit of a snake oil salesmen but they got the win in the end. 😎🇦🇺👍
Just to add some more weight to this scene... Matt Damon's own father had passed away in real life right before he took on this role. Right at 2:46 you can see in his eyes, he was really feeling that line himself.
Interesting in this clip of the film that has Damon, playing Carroll Shelby going through the gears with his left hand firmly on the steering wheel. Since that car was right hand drive, he would have been shifting the car with that hand and been steering with the right.
No. The gear stick for the GT40 is to the driver’s right, in the sill between seat and door. So he’s changing gear with his right hand. The film is accurate in this respect. The Ferrari 330 P3 they raced against was the same, right hand drive and stick to the right.
I like how you hear the sound of a transmission shifting but you never see Matt Damon's left hand (the one he would shift with) come off the steering wheel, lolol

@owilliams1031 There were two different engine families used in the "Ford GT40" British Lola Mk6. Most were built with the 289 small block. A few were built with the 427 FE engine. The 427 FE was also used in NASCAR and drag racing, but the two engines were very different. The British-built 427 FE engines for the "Ford GT40" British Lola Mk6 had British-made aluminum cylinder heads, a lower compression ratio, a magnesium dry-sump oiling system, and many other differences. They were much more tame than the drag racing and NASCAR versions of the FE, because they had to run for 24 hours, mostly at full throttle.
I am proud to drive a Ford. Especially after seeing this scene
Someone once told me you only remember your first, your last and your best. Somtething tells me that was all 3
Pulling some G's there!!!

To be fair, it was Henry Ford, Sr. that made the Deuce Coupe of 1932, the V-8 powered flathead Ford. He must have liked fast cars, because he gave America the first mass-market V-8 and he gave Hot Rodding it's first great car.
You know… This never happened… But it easily could have.
Nearly the entire movie is fictional.
That was the most bad ass CEO decision i ever seen. He put everything on Risk.😮😮😮
Carroll Shelby never bet Shelby American. The scene was pure fiction.
One flat tire at Daytona and Shelby would have lost everything.
This never happened.
This movie is so dope 😅
He didnt wear the Brown pants.
I guess Jason Bourne got a drivers license.
I've watched this movie about 5 times now and not getting tired of it
Nor will you ever.
Do you realize it's almost entirely fiction?
@@YernBelfus400 - Mostly fiction - it's Hollywood after all.
@@chrispile3878 I have to laugh when people watch this fictional movie and come away thinking the "Ford GT40" was an American car.
@@YernBelfus400 Well, it was. That part is true.
Man I wish I could take a ride in that car....
This makes for a good movie scene, but it is just plain silly, no Ford executive had to be convinced of anything. The idea of entering Le Mans was their idea to begin with.
Here is what Ford through their racing division actually did:
They went to England and hired Eric Broadly to design and build the first cars. (Shelby did not design them.) He based them on his design for the Lola Mk6 GT. They did all the wind tunnel work and engine development, including extensive durability testing on sophisticated dynamometer equipment.
They set up a small but well-funded subsidiary, Kar-Kraft, to develop many parts such as transmissions and other mechanical parts, continue the design of the car, assemble it, and do many other things. Kar-Kraft adapted the final engine choice, the big stock car based engine, to the chassis.
They gave cars to Shelby AND Holman-Moody AND Allan-Mann Racing (England) for on-track testing and development. Holman-Moody, of stock care fame, was barely mentioned in the movie and Allan Mann never was. The quick-change brakes (they showed it as an entire suspension change in the movie) were a Holman-Moody development. Ford coordinated the best efforts of these three so the resulting cars were the same. All three teams raced them.
It doesn't seem that Ford hindered the effort in any way. They coordinated the whole thing. They were the ones who made it happen.
"yyeeeaaahhhh baby! Yeah baby!"... Gets me Everytime 😂😂
That’s what I’ve been waiting for! That’s what it’s all about! Wooooo!
That awkward break up moment
Funny how all these years have passed since Bullitt and directors STILL don't know how a transmission works.
What’s the problem? Straight cut gear whine and correctly shifting with his right hand as the stick is to the right in the GT40. Also the Ferrari 330 P3 they raced against was right hand drive and stick to the right.
@@sparky4878 i most definitely was referencing the infinite upshifts in Bullitt, a famously well known flaw in that movie. Its pretty easy to hear if you've ever driven stick.
@@jordanricker4948all I’ve driven are manual. It’s the norm in my country to learn to drive manual. Sadly more and more cars are being built as automatics.
@@sparky4878 somehow in America the sales percentage has increased SLIGHTLY...
Shelby the man that built the modern mustang in my opinion
Lol, no. Lee Iacocca is the father of the Mustang.
0:59 Save Me momento
"Memento"?
Cries of Happiness?
Yea, its something he even never expected to feel go that fast , his dad and grandfather would be so proud
0:40 that’s how the GT350 was made!
A fantastic movie I enjoyed every second I worked in the Automotive industry.
Shelby was a bit of a snake oil salesmen but they got the win in the end.
😎🇦🇺👍
Tracy Letts and Matt Damon absolutely killed it in this scene.
Just saw Old Yeller the other day...still as stunning as ever...even better when it passed by me at Big Willow...Magic.
Its a great scene but that didnt really happen in real life...only stupid person would not let Ken Miles drive le mans if you wanted to win.
He was sitting on something else at the end
1:35 I can hear this unlimited times 😌😌
Just to add some more weight to this scene... Matt Damon's own father had passed away in real life right before he took on this role. Right at 2:46 you can see in his eyes, he was really feeling that line himself.
I swear that cry sounded more like: ha💸ha💸ha💸ha💸ha💸ha💸ha💸ha💸ha💸
Crazy Shelby had to risk losing his own car brand all in order to do Ford a favor and have them get out of their own way.
All the Ford’s must of been beaming with pride when they saw this scene.
This scene was way over done to the point of absurd. Typically hollywood nonsense.
I love that Shelby was willing to bet everything cause he had that much trust in Ken Miles lol
Crying bc he wishes his daddy could experience it gives me a lump in my throat every time
Oh I guess Management doesn't like that one do they... 😁🖤💙
Best scene in the whole movie, in my opinion. The writing was amazing
Unpopular take: this movie is overrated.
2:35 after watching a recent history series on Henry ford this hits alot different
The ford in this movie is Henry ford II, whose father was Edsel Ford. His grandfather was Henry Ford
@odysseus1660 I'm fully aware hence why edsel not being able to see it hit diffrent.
Every sons dream ❤ : i wish my father can see & feel this...
So if Ken miles broke records he still should of won.
It’s perfect cry of both joy and sadness.
Carol himself could have driven the race at Le Mans !! He was superb
They address that in the beginning, heart issues. Otherwise, well he'd already won there so could have done it again.
Why didn't the bean counter want him to test drive the cae
Interesting in this clip of the film that has Damon, playing Carroll Shelby going through the gears with his left hand firmly on the steering wheel. Since that car was right hand drive, he would have been shifting the car with that hand and been steering with the right.
No. The gear stick for the GT40 is to the driver’s right, in the sill between seat and door. So he’s changing gear with his right hand. The film is accurate in this respect.
The Ferrari 330 P3 they raced against was the same, right hand drive and stick to the right.
Really liked this one!
Geweldig deze film super
The most boring film ever produced. More so than that blight on humanity, the American TV movie. Total shite.
Straight cut gears🤤
Thank you! So many think it’s a supercharger whine. Nice to see someone else here that knows.
@@sparky4878 Yessir and superchargers sound quite a bit different than a racing gear box, personally I like the gear whine better
I like how you hear the sound of a transmission shifting but you never see Matt Damon's left hand (the one he would shift with) come off the steering wheel, lolol
GT40s have the shifter mounted down to the driver's right, between the seat and the door :)
Hard to beat the sound of straight cut gears!
So, did this ride really happen, or is it typical Hollywood made up crap? My guess is it never happened.
The ride really happened but Ford crying wasnt stated to have actually happened and Shelby wasn't the one who took him for the ride, Ken Miles did.
shelby can drive
