Ford GT40 Lapping at Sebring International Raceway (Onboard)

[vankatalopen]

it doesn't feel fast enough i think

[crv26]

wait!!! this is a kit car?

[falinx101]

I can't stop watching this video... only the ferrari f40 comes close to such an amazing sounding car.

[thylegion]

@falinx101 so it's rather like you can't stop LISTENING to this video ;)

[geekworks]

BTW, that wasn't a 350z it went around the outside on that corner. It was a 911. Put that in your pipe and smoke it !

[geekworks]

I wonder if that wrx saw or felt it first? That motor has got to have some serious shock waves to it. Which is a good thing.

[MHU999]

I saved the video as an mp3 file, it's that good ;)

[RICKJAMES1254]

I love the violence that this cars breathes ^^

[DVGTS1]

you could've owned every one on the track and show them that the GT40 is THE BOSS

[SomaComa89]

aww I didn't want it to end :(

[ruubjumper126]

i think it could be even faster becouse the driver brakes a little too much

annyway i love that car and history

Gurney Weslake heads on a 289 -302 cid iron small block.

I attended Daytona and Sebring 1964 - 1972.

[Ferrari312pb]

Sounds sublime.

Thankyou !

[gimmeshelter1969]

...saw em run at Sebring in 1966 (Was Ken Miles and Lloyd Ruby won it on the last lap!)

[Spang06]

Actually this is a Superformance MK I replica but nicely done. Safir Engineering purchased the rights to the Ford GT40 and made continuation GT40s during the 1980s. Safir licensed the use of the GT40 trademark to Ford for the initial 2002 show car, but when Ford decided to make the production vehicle, negotiations between the two failed, and as a result the new Ford GT does not wear the badge GT40. The genuine race Ford GTs only went to serial number P1114.

[TheGamingRage]

this inspires me... :D

[blah666ful]

Whatever that pile of shit is in front of him needs to gtfo this machines way.

[alexander1485]

I've seen this car in real life and its a factory accurate replica/reproduction! Its not original.

[screwwed]

classic car love it great run

[minniemation]

i loved how you just flew past the 350z around the corner, no match for a real muscle car :D

[blah666ful]

@minniemation looked like a porsche to me. With the typical high class retard driving it.

[f40f50enzof60]

Great video!

[RikterZilla]

Truely a classic Ford power house. The Ferrari killer still performs and sounds like an awesome machine. Great!

[mellilore]

Why people use every day cars on track? Keep the path clean, I wanna hear the Weslake roaring!!!!

[unionrdr]

I love the old school stock car sound it has. Seems to me Holman-Moody built some of the engines,as I remember?...

[blindinglight619]

I love how it kills the modern cars :D

[blindinglight619]

best v8 sound ever!!!

[ffmotorsports51]

Is that a replica GT40 Mk I? The steering wheel in the real GT40's are on the right side of the car not the left side.

[stampede122]

the first ones where on the right side

[Bresoto]

jesus crist.. what a beautiful engine sound!

[612175]

super !!!! que du bonheur !!!! j'adore la GT40

[harleyzzr]

great car but the steering wheel is on the wrong side

[stozzman]

anoyne know if its a 302 or a 427?

[petesnever]

427 you fag

[kimepetersen]

It's a small block all-aluminum 427 with TWM open stack fuel injection. The engine dynoed at 560hp at the rear wheels.

[34D2234]

I like what it says LOW SPEED LAPS  the original gt40's did 240mph on the track, it passed that subaru sti like it was parked and at the end, it caught that honda sebring car as he opened it up just a bit. i'd love to see that car do a top speed run. 110mph in first gear, thats during a race. these are 10,000 rpm cars.

[widowmakersnare]

this is a mk. II if it has a 427 and is from 1966

[kimepetersen]

Actually it is a Mk I with a small block 427 replacing the original 289 engine.

[gearhead2k6]

5:55 he passed the vette like it was standing still, and was gonna over take the white car if he had more room, what a BEAST of a car. The 427 sounds amazing!!!

[packer492]

Wow that car sounds mean

[covGuk]

click on my channel and then click on gt40 massive speed, to get the jist of this cars birth

[garbage106]

did anyone else notice that the engine sounds like it shouts whoo yaaa at 3:19 when passing the subaru made me laugh maybe im nuts.

[stampede122]

just image what it looks like while it comes up and passes you

[WeAllHateDaleScum]

wot a beast! imagine seeing this live

[covGuk]

it wont rev past 4600rpm?

but isn't the v8 on this low reving anyway? like most american engines its low revving.

[21beal21]

it says it wont rev past that due to a failing distributor

[covGuk]

is it the le mans race car?

shame if it isnt.

not many are still alive

[yanfloist]

DAMN!!!! The LION IS LOOSE>>>YEAH!!!

[halodrum201270]

i absoloutely love the ford gt40, its power is just astonishing for such an old model, and sounds monsterous. cool!!!!

[iDarkspeed]

Beautiful sounding car.

[EnergySecure]

That is a great car with an unholy sound! Will it be at the GT40 reunion at Road America this July?

[stampede122]

now theres a race a vette(corvette) vs a gt40

[GT40Bill]

At the beginning of the video, it says that it's a Superformance (SPF). Nice but not an original

[Kronaphasia]

SO WHAT. If I had the choice to have a replica or an original. I would choose the replica to drive. In most cases the replicas of vintage race cars have better mechanical parts than the originals. An original is an investment not to be altered or run hard on a track. To do so would be to de-value it. Even disturbing minute patina changes the value. I would drive the replica with vigor the way these cars were meant to be driven.

[BobMosteller]

This is not a 1966 GT40 MkI. All MkI's came with a 289 or Indy engine, not a 427(those were the MKII's). Also, all GT40's were right hand drive. This is a great car but is a replica kit car.

[SvenLaFong]

Actually, there were 7 GT40s built as left hand drive, all intended for the road! Also, GT40 MkI cars came with 289, 302, and even 351 engines - most notably the prototype Mirage cars. As it says on the video, this car has a 351w stroked to 427ci. Also, this isn't a 'kit car' but rather a factory-built continuation model of the original. I've seen this car at Palm Beach Intl Raceway, and it's a licensed 'GT40' re-creation, about 90% bolt-for-bolt identical to the original cars. I want one!

[covGuk]

your right, most of the gt40 drivers were infact british. after all the british built the car. the americans just designed and did everything else.

good work

[covGuk]

oops, sorry, after i did some research, i found out, that americans employed the british for the aerodynamics of the car.

the british designed it to be slippery through the air for hitting top speed on the morzan straight on the le mans actual track.

they also therefore designed the chassi, and basically the whole body. the americans employed the british because Formula 1 was big in the UK at the time.

but the monstrous engine is from the USA. lovely car!!!

[deniseaustinlover]

Man oh man.....this GT40 sounds like it's got some set of BALLS! Talk about a "Man's Car!" Wow! Contrast this to the Italian cars - Ferrari & Lamborghini - that sing like a bunch of fu_king castratos. Nice, yes, but they sound like their 'nads were left on the butcher's block. I'll gladly take the 427 any day of the week, thank you.

[IXGQ4LifeXI]

dude that thing just flys by everybody haha

[bonsaiisuperstar]

That car is a total animal.

[donaldroszz]

I second that!

[fong427]

Awesome video ! The sound is incredible and needs to be sold as a CD to play while driving around.I am interested in your car and will contact you.
