REAL Mans Man Race Car. I can't believe they don't make new cars with Manual Transmission. Ferrari-Porsche-Corvette are all Paddle Shift you look in the Car and just dosen't look right with out Manual Gear Shifter like Castrating a Stallion
In the defences of auto makers today, taking the new shelby gt 500 for example, no human can shift faster or more efficiently than the dual clutch auto system provided. Whereas I agree, there is nothing more satisfying than smashing gears by yourself ford set out to build the best performance car possible. And that meant taking the human error out of it.
Get up over 100 and that windshield wiper looks like it's hanging on for dear life Such an awesome car, I'd have one in a heartbeat Just have to figure out the minor details like being able to afford it
Music to my ears ... the pure roar of a GT40. Gets me going... I would love to see the revs this baby can do. There's just no competition here. Love it.
7,000 RPM, that's where you meet it. You feel it coming. It creeps up near you, and it asks you a question, the only question that really matters...Who are you?
It's marvelous to see the view that drivers Jacky Ickx and Brian Redman had when they co-drove a GT40 to victory at the Spa 1K race back in 1968; beating the newest Porsche 908 prototypes in that race. But, that was also back in the old race course configuration of 14 Kilometers/8.8 miles length.
@@alexrosario7661 Yes, kind. Smooth is kind, consistent, without over-revving. That doesn't mean you can't use full throttle, but you've got to know when, where and how to do it.
Lol, I have driven the f3000 cars at Yaz Marina a couple times and the speedos were disabled because people thought they were faster than they really were so they complained!🏎
Nothing like the torque from American V8. Had a 69 Firebird 400 back in the day. Will never forget the temporary blindness from 2nd gear downshift and full power g force for the first time . I was fortunate to have survived that car, lol.
GT40 is my favorite car of it's type. But at Spa, at a vintage race, I would really like to be on-board a different car with a Dan Gurney connection. The Gurney/Weslake Eagle Mk1 chassis 104. Most beautiful car to ever race in F1.
I hope he get some more testing under his belt. Looks like both he and car could use some sorting out. Thanks for letting us ride along. Always fun to see these legendary cars being put through their paces.👍👍👍
The Ford GT40 will always be my favorite car of all time.... It would be a dream to drive my own custom Ford GT.... With a custom engine and body.... Four speed sequential.... Slicks.... Speeding down a track at 168 MPH.... Taking turns and racing on the line.... It would be a dream come true....
NASCAR muscle in a sports car was a beautiful thing. Those Southerners knew how to make an engine roar and my Dad got to experience it as an engine man from California for two years, '69 and '70, building Camaro engines for Pete Hamilton at Gene White Firestone in Atlanta in '69 and Mustang engines at Bud Moore Engineering in Spartanburg, South Carolina in '70, the year of those orange-and-black Boss 302 Mustangs driven by Parnelli Jones and George Follmer.
full willing, smooth driving, c divin. Vraiment une joie d'être abord. Y manque la vision phériférique externe de cette G Tant aimée, le son est vorace !!, YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
I believe Holman and Moody are still selling these beauties as originals, although I heard they are almost out of the original chassis built by Abbey Panels back in the day. $1 million for an original, 500k for a replica.
WOW, I didn't know that while you are on the second gear , if you brake a little the car and transmission would allow you go down to 1st gear again while the car is running. amazing.
Racing video game developers just need to send their sound team to Goodwood to record that kind of car sound, I mean I know that I'd play that game for sure ;)
That thing puts out an impressive amount of power at zero RPM
Lmao it took me like five minutes to figure out that this is a joke
did it break?
New technology
American muscle. Imagine if he'd turned the car on.
Amazing fuel economy for a 7 liter
He’s nuts for that crazy overtake, that’s how these cars were built to be driven though. Driven to the limit
Buttocks-clenching moment at 2:19
That's what I was gonna say
lmao this is why I looked at the comments
I'm glad it wasn't just me that felt that!!
JESUS H...!
honestly, that was a careless move on the driver's part.
One would think that the rest of the cars out there would have been warned that a GT40 would be in the mix and to just get the hell out of the way.
Pretty sure they were.
That's what blue flags/lights are for.
You'd be astonished of the amount of fucking idiots on a race track.
@@scottfeuerhammer3595 Mirrors too!
Different classes are running at the same time.
2:20 what a close call
Saw that. I flinched in my chair.
LOL yep! Bet his heart rate spiked right there!
Pooped alittle
Peed a little
Epic
The Ford is strong in this one.
alan mac underrated comment
Designed by Lola and modified by Shelby
The GT40 and the Lola T70 are my dream drives, unfortunately when you see them driven quickly they both look like they are intent on killing you.
That’s the fun in them
Thats why it's important to build up to these cars. Plenty of people on track days being murdered by much slower cars due to lack of driving skill.
Boa noite meu Amigo.
Cara, fiquei com a mesma sensação.
Rsrsrsrs......
Abraço do Brasil.
I have them both and yes they are intent on killing you😂
wow a third pedal!! and no nanny controls. love it

@@klausphx the C7 corvette was available with a 7 speed manual(H-pattern)gearbox but I think most people bought the 7 speed dual clutch variant

Beautiful v8 sound - magic
Nearly wrecked himself going between the Mustang and the other car.
yeah, slight flinch as his butthole tensed for a second lol
My butthole tensed just watching it. Bit to marginal that move.
My butthole tensed so much im still pulling bits of the couch out of my ass....
LOL
xrayracer1 That was some amazing footage, but that move was epic. He's at full piss and there's no other way but through. Respect
Geez it ate the field of cars for breakfast, lunch,and dinner! Vicious!
Ça se mérite d'aller vite avec ces autos, ça glisse, ça pousse, bref du vrai pilotage, et du beau talon-pointe ! 👍👍👍
Nice. :)
Would love to see his footwork during the down-changes.
You can, just turn up the brightness of your monitor. Guy is dancing for sure.
Heel n toe, a forgotten art of control
Great onboard camera angle U can see his footwork and his overall driving skill. Outstanding wheelman.
Nothing like v8 roaring with manual shifting. 😍😍
Especially a FORD V-8!
This driver perfectly matched in this GT40. He picks off the other cars like swatting flies.
Love the smooth style of the driver. He's very kind to the car.
Kindd? 😂
@@alexrosario7661 Yes, kind. Smooth is kind, consistent, without over-revving. That doesn't mean you can't use full throttle, but you've got to know when, where and how to do it.
Bravo to the driver. Not afraid to shovel it around the track or bounce the tach off the pin.
To reduce viewer anxiety the digital tach was disabled...
Lol, I have driven the f3000 cars at Yaz Marina a couple times and the speedos were disabled because people thought they were faster than they really were so they complained!🏎

@@fpark114 its a small block. Enlarged close to the limit though. Ford big blocks were 460's if i remember right.
@Enzo 1965 the snake headers make the sound, google gt40 headers it's a work of art!
That thing was a handful---so much oversteer !
I can only imagine that car going down the Mulsane at 3 am passing the Ferraris and Corvettes
2:21 just incredible driver who can control the gt 40 at a time like this.
I think that’s the first time in my life I’ve felt bad for a windshield wiper. Thing was holding on for dear life on the long straightaways.
My heart was in my mouth when he went between that Mustang and the other car at 2:20

Almost had a GT40 sandwich at about 2:20. Almost a Code Brown moment... LOL Great video!
Shes an absolute beast!🔥😍🏁
Great to see n-board footage from Spa where Eau Rouge/Raidillon and Blanchimont are actual corners.
Eau Rouge s not a simple curve, is a fine art masterpiece
Having shifter on right side is so cool
I want to marry the gt40

that's like driving in Atlanta on Sunday afternoon! Keep up or get shut out.
Not gonna lie, my heart beat stopped at 2:19. That was pucker factor 10 right there

Love seeing this cars in tracks not in garages.
Yes, hairy moment at 2:20! Well driven.
Let the thunder roll. Sounds better than the high revving wimpy engines.
That windshield wiper is hanging on for dear life
wow we have come along way - respect and perspective it was a 60s vintage car
I loooooooooove the sound of a Weslake 5.0 V8 ♥♥♥
Ain’t nuthin’ like being the big dog on the track passing everybody with impunity.
Los demás autos parecen postes que brutal aceleración💪🚀
that is drivin' well done
Everyone:
Windshield wiper: HHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😂
Respect though, drove the hell outta that beast
Play it by ear!
That splice though 😏 broke traction and everything.
2:10
This man is just full sending it
2:20 ... oh-ho-ho
Obviously it's the fastest car on the track - everything else is just in the way!!
Boa noite !!!!!!

Thought he was going to blow the wiper blade right off the car damn! Lol
At 2:20 in portuguese of Brazil. " I saw the guitar in shard." 😱😆
OUTFREAKING STANDING !!!!
Kids, this is not a video game. This is the real deal.

This gt40 windshield wiper stronger than all my cars I have parking outside lmaoooo
That windshield wiper holding on for dear life 😣
The driver is working hard to keep it on the road!
2:18 - Goshdamyum.... Almost caused a crash. He is lucky that the left car saw him on the mirrors just in time.
Bad to the bone on all levels.
Ouch!. I saw the g meter spiking to 4 . He would have to pour himself out of that car.
great stuff the car the sound
I'll take pole thankyou very much......and some new pants please!
427 has to be the best racing engine ever built.
Absolutely delicious. Now that's going after it.
God that pass at 2:20! Awesome stuff.
That thing through Eau Rouge would be an handful.
Far out man!
What a rush
Threading the eye of a needle at 2:18 WOW
Impressive , to say the least !

I'd love to be able to stick to the ground that well at those speeds. Pretty solid driver there to yeah? Very nice
God, that sound! 😍😍
