I had to cut a line when talking about other cars that said "Someone was forced to drive their own Accord." It's ironic because doing something "of one's own accord" means doing something without coercion or influence from others. Then I remembered that Accords are made by Honda, not Ford.
But yours are WAY more entertaining than mine so I think you're on to something! Specially when I couldn't care less about Technic but still watched this until the very end.
Seriously, much appreciated. Tiago's incredible at what he does and he's a great dude in general. Part of the reason I try to do all this extra stuff in my videos is because I know I can't compete with his quality and commentary.
For me the price is very good. 1,466 pieces on the $150 Ford GT compared to 1,432 pieces on the McLaren F1 car $250 (Canadian prices). The GT is almost 10¢ per piece, so that's ok.
My only gripe about this build is the strength of the door hinges which flex too much -if anyone could make a video on the simplest, most effective fix to firm them up, we'd all appreciate it.
I *hate* the stock seats on this. Anyone have any ideas on something a bit more pleasant? Preferably something that allows a small figure to sit in it?
I love those black display frames you have the cars mounted to on your wall. Did you create that from the box the kit was in or did you do something custom?
They're actually sold by an Italian company called HUYL (hang up your lego). They make custom wall displays each made specifically to mount their respective cars. They're a bit pricy but worth it for the end result I think. (huyl.it/) (Not an affiliate, just a fan)
When it comes to 1:12 scale, think of it as a 12 by 12 grid with only one of those boxes being the car, so you would need 144 of these to have a full ford gt not 12
😯 Glad to see you made it to the end of the video... Funny thing is, I had that Tom Cruise Mustang line planned out a week ago, then your last video dropped and I was like perfect timing.
I assumed there was something special about those headlights but didn't bother looking it up. If we can get some clear Technic panels, that would be sweet.
Something is off with how you’ve built the area around the headlights. Otherwise, car looks great and love the video. More functionality than last year’s F1 car at a fraction of the cost is a win in my books.
I did, when finished I had to tear apart the back end to fix it in order to move the pistons. My manual had serveral errors, the the differential was the worst. It is also super tight to move, other models the came was so smoother.
What an entertaining review Josh, "one goal to reduce drag...maybe well call it a republican" joke is genius. Keep up the good work, look forward to future content.
What is a flying buttress if not a big hole in the side of the car? But you're absolutely right, modern Technic sets are leaps ahead of their predecessors. But judging these by modern standards or against System Creator Expert sets of equivalent size, they look pretty holy to me.
Perfect size, not perfect price. I feel this describes a majority of Lego sets released recently save for maybe perhaps Speed Champions and a smaller two of the 3 up and coming Indiana Jones releases! The crusade plane chase set in particular almost feels like a bargain price compared to most LEGO sets you get these days! 03:06 it’s because they resemble the aforementioned Flying Buttresses, look it up.
You would think I would have googled Flying Buttress before right now but I hadn't. It's a good day when I get to learn something new about architecture. Thank you.

I love it can you do the yellow and black Bugatti next

You're kinder than I deserve. Thank you my friend.
Out of all the Lego TH-camrs, you are hands down the most entertaining. Great videos! Thank you!
Thanks, best review I've seen of this car :)
I only watch tiagos videos when it's a set I'm interested in, I watch all of yours, even this blue car thing I don't care about. Never change Josh!
Seriously, much appreciated. Tiago's incredible at what he does and he's a great dude in general. Part of the reason I try to do all this extra stuff in my videos is because I know I can't compete with his quality and commentary.
Good to have you back Josh, in all your glory!
Thank you kindly! Hopefully I don't take another 6 month break but who knows.

The "butterflies aren't what they used to be" line earned instant like, subscribe, respect and woke up my daughter. You sir are genius.
My favorite part of technic sets are the realistic pistons and differentials I wish the made Lego valve trains with pneumatic lifters
You can't Escape this video, it is a true Expedition of the fantastically fabulous Ford Focus, I mean, Ford GT.
That drag comment. 😂 Your reviews are always so entertaining.
It looks as if you incorrectly installed flexible components under the lights. They should go up higher. Then the front looks much better.
My only gripe about this build is the strength of the door hinges which flex too much -if anyone could make a video on the simplest, most effective fix to firm them up, we'd all appreciate it.
Awesome video!!
I have a problem with the wing being stiff when the is pulled, like I need to help the wing itself
I got this car for around 70 dollars in Russia (original, not used).
Let's get this guy some more subs
0:54
12^3 cars so actually 1728
superior maths knowledge is great
i got SUPER lucky and got this kit for half off at target 8 months ago. it had to have been a mistake because they still sell it for full price
I just got this off eBay for $88 and $95 after tax, thank you for the review! I look forward to putting it by by Tecnic Raptor and Mustang!
I got this model a day after you posted this video! What a coincidence!
Great vid! Would you consider reviewing the Cada Initial D AE86? Yeah it ain't lego but it's licensed by the anime and Toyota themselves

You are very funny with your commentary!

No because this is in 3d so you would actually need 12x12x12=.... checking calculator.... 1728 of these
Great funny review
The Tom Cruise one was my fav! Lovin' the retractable spoiler though... totally worth $500K. How do I tag... @Tiag....
😯 Glad to see you made it to the end of the video... Funny thing is, I had that Tom Cruise Mustang line planned out a week ago, then your last video dropped and I was like perfect timing.
I want to build it i l9ve the mustang gt that one was fun anyone has not done it do it
Got it for under 100€, it is a nice build
How
Those frosted transparent pieces. *drool*

Something is off with how you’ve built the area around the headlights. Otherwise, car looks great and love the video. More functionality than last year’s F1 car at a fraction of the cost is a win in my books.
Something could absolutely be built wrong with my build. I did an accidental drop test and had to guess at reassembling some parts.
@@JoshBuildsStuff Lego sets are like babies… they should always be swaddled in bubble wrap when being handled.
So.. nobody here and I mean nobody else had a problem with the differential gears? My wheel axle keeps falling off
I did, when finished I had to tear apart the back end to fix it in order to move the pistons. My manual had serveral errors, the the differential was the worst. It is also super tight to move, other models the came was so smoother.
As a republican, that drag comment was perfectly timed, absolutely wonderful 😂😂, subscribed 😂😂😂
Just got and built yesterday, was my first Technics build and it was a lot of fun to see it all come together but wtf is up with the wobbly doors
id rather it be a 2005 gt40

this review could take 5 mins, instead of 10...
You must be new to technic if you say this model is "holey"
Maybe you should get some technic sets from 10 and 20 years ago and redefine word "holey"
What is a flying buttress if not a big hole in the side of the car? But you're absolutely right, modern Technic sets are leaps ahead of their predecessors. But judging these by modern standards or against System Creator Expert sets of equivalent size, they look pretty holy to me.
❤️🇵🇭
This really doesn't look much like the original car. It kinda looks crappy. I would have expected more for the price.
That’s cause it’s meant to look like the new GT. Not the ones Shelby made
$80 more like it
I'll do you one better, $60.
How about $40
@@Erik-yg7mjI was thinking around $20
I got it for $90 🤷♂️
How about $10
Somehow this car is 101$ here lol
Bro try to compare different scale of Technic cars
Good idea
