.....i know it's a ford,but look what i saw today :)

Wow, you don't see these everyday,1966 Ford GT,in fact i have never,i have seen only two of the newer ones.Sure wish i was in my 1LE today.I'm not sure about my facts(I'm sure someone here will know though)but i think this was the original model year that America beat Ferrari with this car.Thought you guys might like to see some history that's why i posted it here.

Odds are its a kit car. No one would ever be driving a real one down the interstate.

wonder how many people hes seen drive off the road trying to film him?

I know when I see people pulling next to me trying to take pics and video's of my car while they are driving, it freaks me out, I'm just waiting for them to swerve into me


nice ride though....

GT's are pretty cool cars. I've only seen a modern one.

That was awesome! My favorite car of all time. Yes a 1966 Ford GT40. The real one is in a museum for sure as its worth multi-millions. It was number 6 and won the 1969 Le Mans by a private entry.

The replicas are about $120,000+ and are better cars than the originals ever were.

there was some tv show not long ago where they had the original out on the track and the guy told him if he damaged it I forget the number he threw at him for even repairing it. Maybe it was Top Gear US can't remember.
