  • Ignition or carb(s) not working properly..,, accelerat. not the part - good arguments to drop the price.....

    Did they ;-?)

  • Really nice bodywork Thnx for posting You can easy hear tho that it isn't the original engine

  • Shame the ignition is cutting out so bad. Might run pretty good if he would simply fix that miss.

  • It's the GT40-R, superformance makes these and they also look very much like the modern 4038 Ford GT that went out of production in 2006. You lose a lot of weight in the R version like the A/C Unit, but you get much more performance out of it. Acceleration of around 0-60 3.5 secs and a top speed of 215+

  • Gutes Wagem Echt :) !!!

  • Awesome car man. Need a giant killer robot to light up the driveway. Check my vids.

  • Dear sir

    Would you please take some driving lessons. Yes really.

  • my acura can beat that slow thing baha

  • @Jx1x3 That is a replica, not a real one. Your Acura is a joke. I have had family cars that would kick your little rice burners ass. They are a joke. The Ford GT40 won at lemans so many times that they changed the rules because of Ferrari complaints. Mr. Ferrari had a lot of clout. You are probably a wanna be racer. Know nothing. Just a quick change artist, NOT a mechanic.

  • @ghfakar have fun racing ricers with your minivan man

  • Omg thats slow.

  • @rodgazinya slow a stock 351 clevo her in australia could push a 2ton car 14sec flat over the quarter.

    i say thats half the weight do the math.....

  • whats the gas mileage like?  expensive?

  • @lightlearner 0-70 mph is around 16 mpg so no better than a truck.

  • love it, shame the revs were way down, it would have been sweet to have hears this getting close to the redline

  • i got this car aswel

  • Fast Five

  • Comment removed

  • adv. says amazing Yris 2011 , amazing what ???? twin turbo ? 12V ?? dynamic exhaust sound ?? what the hell is it amazing with !!!!!!!!!!!

  • These cars (replicas included) are so much sexier than the new Ford GT's. Beautiful.

  • Who makes this car? It looks more like the modern GT than the superformance GT.

  • wasnt this car featured on some australian motoring tv show and raced a nissan skyline?

  • what website can i order this from and is it 43 inches?

  • THE BEST

  • Cool car, but sorry to say that cleveland sounds like most of them, a mutley dud of an engine. So many of the Panteras had the same thing. Too heavy of an engine not enough compression. Certainly not the hardest thing to remedy though.

  • @12salem Even still with a "mutley dud of an engine" GT 40 beat Ferrari at Le Mans four years in a row and Panteras outrun Ferraris and Lambos even to this day

  • @12salem And the "new" Ford GT from Ford (2004-onwards) outruns Ferraris and Lamborghinis also.

  • @Tatooinedragracer Well yeah but the gt40 that won at lemans didnt have the 351 clever now did it ? The current GT doesnt have the 351 clever either ,so Im not understanding the comparison. I like the car Im just saying that particular engine you are using is a poor one. I can hear that the thing probably has about 8.5 :1 , and if you've ever hear a high compression engine youd hear the diff too.

  • looks like u´re first driving lesson

  • @jimpornse You clearly need to take punctuation lessons.

    Anyway, have you got a Rover V8 in this thing?

  • What camera do you use? Is it a Sony? My camera sounds very similar to 0:25 when it's very quite :)

  • Nice car, but hat makes me really jealous!

    Where was this shot at?

  • @cyberslick people ain't saying that power to weight ratio isn't important (I'm the first one to say that it's absolutely essential) they're saying tha, for something supposed to be a race car, 300hp for 5.8l is extremly small, but that's a problem for most american engines, I'm found of V8 muscles but every one's got to admit that those engines don't have the power that goes with the size of it...

    BTW, i'm not saying that against GT40s: I don't prefer any car (except mine :p) to those...

  • GREAT CAR

  • GT-40s were only 2,600-2900 lbs. Putting 300hp into something that light is comparable to putting a corvette engine into a Nissan 240sx. Power to weight ratio is everything. Especially when it comes to long races with a lot of bends and turns in it, which is what the GT-40 was made for. Nice replica, btw. Too bad you sold it. :(

  • Nice ride!

  • Why can't a 5.8l make only 300 hp? You could tune a 12l motor to make 150 hp, size means nothing.

    How many times do you noobs need to hear it? Power to weight ratio, power to weight.

    The drivetrain in a race car, combined with how the motor actually makes power, is more important than what the stupid dyno says. A 160hp caterham will absolutely destroy most 800hp cars.

    Cadillac used to make 16 cylinder engines that produced less than 200 ponies.

  • my car has a 400 6.6 litre with 428 horse power except its not in a gt. this car has more than 300 hp. my moms fucking jeep has almost 300 hp and this is waaaaaayyy more than 300

  • It looks great but sorry i have to say my honda is faster in acceleration

  • Very nice replica, did you build it yourself? A Ford 351C I suppose would give you around 300bhp with barely any mods and all of the emissions stuff stripped off. It sounds great, and the combo of the base engine and the transmission gives you a tonne of upgrade options for more power if you want it later. I can't believe some of the negative comments on here...12yr old school boys can be very jealous so pay no attention to them. One very nice car indeed.

  • geile maschine....................

  • very cool colour combination with the heritage design

  • and i know it rips shit, but thats not my point...

  • this car is a kit car. its a cheap knock off. dont call a car with a gm engine in it a ford...please...especially a ford gt...

  • @skowbawler got nothing better to do than bash cars You could never afford.. what do you drice a 4cyl rustang with racing stipes to make you go faster? lol your a joke

  • BFD Nesbitter. This will clean your moms fusion & her twat as well. It weighs about 3/4 of what the fusion is, is more areodynamic & has better gearing. Then again some kid who rides his mom's car might not know what power to weight ratio is. The Shelby Daytona Coupe was around 370hp & closed in on the 200mph mark. You need some schooling boy.

  • my mom's ford fusion puts out 263hp... this thing is an embarassment at 300hp

  • @Nesbittster this "thing" would Destroy you momys fusion on any track... so shut you little child mouth

  • Very Nice!

  • 300 horse 5.8? it should be made to have 600 horses. on this car it's a minimum requirement!

  • @odinandme hey homo i suppose you drive & own a better one? ... keep your lame ass coments about others cars to your self

  • @odinandme LOL`s it's a replica....

  • @odinandme Trust me 300hp is more than enough fun in a car this light. Sure it isn't insanity, but it's one hell of a ride around a race track.

  • Beautiful car, beautiful sound. Driver is afraid to get on it though.

  • GREAT CAR

  • Rename video. My pos Ford!

  • That car looks like a babe magnet. Can I sit on that stick? Hell yeah you may mmmm..uhhh......The rest is history perverts

  • Car need's tuned,

    caughing and hiccuping thru the gear's,

  • nice car dude!!!!  amacing... take care

  • Looks and sounds good brother

  • sounds like shit

  • sounds is absolutely fantastic, good reproduction

  • Beautiful

  • funny the older gt40 mlooks way better than the new one!

  • it is a lot lower than the production car

  • original has 40 height

  • Fine-Cars-Bodensee

    unfriendliest people ever seen :o(

  • Hi Hemibarracuda, i am not Fine-cars -Bodensee!! I sold my Gt40 to them in 2008. Have fun with Your GT40 :-)

  • ok,sorry ;o)

  • only 300 hp why dont you mod it make it have more power

  • It makes so much sense that 300hp doesn't tell anything about its Potential.Try to imagine really big and heavy parts moving really fast and how huge that force is. And the sound is like dynamite going off.

  • you fuckin lucky bastard. one of the greatest car ever build. :-)

  • He's not even touching that cars full potential.

  • i think you have the road version

  • 5.8l and 300 hp doesn't make any sense. :p

    Cool sounds though..

  • it had sense in le mans races ;P

  • it must not have any type of performance booster

  • @Magister899  Not since there are GT40's out there with over 1000 Real Wheel Horse Power.

    Twin Turbo. Look under Dallas Performance GT40. Cool Car. Sir David

  • Triton V10 + 8psi boost = 850 hp without opening the engine...

  • =850lbs...

  • what it needs is a 502 lol

  • ah drop that pos 5.8 pick up engine out and drop in a new 2010 svt cobra engine with i think its 540hp now. seeing how its not a GT40 who cares what engine its got the more balls the better amen to that!

  • the 351 sounds wonderful. Do you really need a 427?

  • fiffty thousand i mean xD

  • How did you manage to get it street legal in Germany? Normally European standards (and authorities) are just a pain, except in the UK. In Switzerland it's even worse. In continental Europe, you can't get Ariel Atom, TVR Sagaris and Caparo for instance, approved, because the always find good reason to refuse the permit.

  • Nice sounding car. I'd rather have a Boss 429 than a 427 to be honest.

  • the price of this car is

    50.00- 200.000$(1966)

  • Fifty dollars? to two hundred thousand, thats kinda a wide range.

  • isn't that a kit car?

  • it is

  • Drop a 427 in that son!!!!

  • i think i would have chosen a different motor like a 427.

  • yes! those cars with the 427's were absolutely insance

  • some fat NZ guy owns this?

  • what is the price of this car?

  • its a kit car. you build it yourself.

  • But you can buy the chassis?

  • you buy it in bits. several companies make GT40 replicas. Usually you have to start with a spesific car and strip it down. then you add the replica chassis bits and you choose an engine and wheels and all that. Its kinda up to yourself how good it becomes in the end. 427 V8 would be a good choice.

  • Do you think he built his car or was it already assembled? Is it a replica made by PGO?

  • not surprising, a replica of a Ford GT40, theer was 200 GT40s were made, 140 GT40s were raced, & 60 were made as Pruduction cars

  • car needs more power, id say atleast 500hp.

  • sounds like an atv underwater

  • It's not that wide. The image is stretched. Look at the wheels at :11 - :12.

  • beatiful! sound en colours

  • i can go faster than that on a wagon tied to a bike going down a hill. =) jk just imitating them kids down there. but yeah that's a sweet car.. very wide. i'd say.. hook me up with a ride to school.

  • you guys apparently don't know shit. That is an amazing Kit, with one Bad ass motor, and I guarantee it would give most cars a run.

  • Just so you know, it's ok to shift higher than 2000 rpm's. You don't have to lug it. Holy Sweet Jesus.

  • I think it runs on 6 or 7 cans. Sound like shit.

  • thing sounds like a freakin go-kart. and mine sound better....

  • my dog could film you doing it better than this guy too

  • My goldfish can film you having a painful accident with your dad's toyota starlet.

  • Can your goldfish film me fucking both your mum and your girlfriend together?

  • you can't, the starlet had been destroyed because of your amazing driving skill, and just your unliving body had been found. Sorry for that dude.

  • haha sharkriup ur a fag... nice car!

  • haha sharkriup ur a fag

    > why ?

    nice car!

    > I never said it wasn't

  • Ur a fag because your stupid comment down their about the goldsfish.

    And i never said you didn't say it wasn't a nice car, I was just saying that it is a nice car and i like it........

  • love the sound of the cleavland. glad you kept it true to Ford instead of putting some junk chevy motor in it.

  • no offense but the paint sucks

    but nice vid tho

  • I thought the Mustangs made the sun rise and set until I saw this monster for the first time a few years ago. Mustang will always be Mustang- no one can dispute that. But the GT40? HA! Ford's version of the Lamborghini, man! Too cool. That's a sexy sixties set o' wheels.

  • I question why the use of the Cleveland motor? There's way more performance parts and options for windsor based engines compared to Cleveland. Maybe cost? im using a windsor for my replica. =)

  • ///Seriously, if you're going to put it out there for everyone to see...at least lean into it. No pussy for you.

  • Sweet car, but I've seen people drive Yugo's harder than that. Maybe now you'll get a date though.

  • you should have tested it in the Autobahn.

    there's no way you can let us hear that engine on a small road like that.

  • ew, yellow...

  • And to make a gt 40 sound like an italian sportscar is just wrong. You are trying to mix oil with water here, it does not work.

    The TSC replica kits are pretty cheap i found out. 5,800£ for the basic set. 9.300£ for the rolling chassi and 19900£ for the deluxe kit with everything except engine and transmission/rear axle in it. If you have basic knowledge of wich end of the tool is the dangerous one, then anyone with space can start on one of these.

  • Im no GT40 expert, but i think the original 427 mkII had 485hp? This is a very nice replica. Wish i had a garage i could put a kitcar in, then i would discard my german project, and start on a TSC replica with a 302 Ford engine. 400 hp is easy on those with quality upgrades. And for the record, this replica on the video has a FORD 351 Cleveland engine. The 347 Windsor can be used as well, but costs a lot more i think. Again, real nice replica. Ill trade you my motorcycle for it ;-p

  • nice car. in my opinion, i wish ford would have made the ft40 sound more like a lambo or a ferrari. i don't like the idea of making to sound like a muscle car.

  • WOW U SUCK!!!

  • I prefer the Superformance replica (I think it's more accurate), but nice ride! I'm jealous!

  • Say what you will. Thats a BAD ASS CAR!!!!!!

  • im pretty sure ur wishing that was ur car...

  • Hey, you might also be able to tell it's a replica by the fact that the guy put "Replica" in the tags for the video. It wasn't like he was trying to say it's something it's not.

    And even if he hadn't, you don't have to be a wheel guru to tell it's a replica - the fact that it's left-hand-drive is the most obvious giveaway. All real GT-40's are RHD.

    For all you dipshits bagging on this guy's very nice replica, why don't you tell us what the fuck you drive?

  • Ooops - it is a right-hand-drive replica. My bad. Kudos to you Bandolero cars for putting the steering wheel on the correct side! I like the addition of the Terlingua sticker, too.

  • 289 cobra ,thanks for your support :-) The GT40 is a replica and built to the exact specs of the original Gt40!! RHD spaceframe chassis with semi monocoque, Ford Motorsport V8 Engine, Getrag 5 speed with shifting on the right side !!, Halibrand 15" Wheels, etc..

  • This is a fake gt 40, looks good though, but real GT 50'S have 15 inch BRM alloys and have either a 289 ci or 302 cu gurney weslake ford racing v8 producing 450bhp.

  • hahhaha< thats a reply.....fake!

  • Why is a replica "f#@kin"? You pay 60-70k for the kit with everything thne you work on it for 2 years to put it together and you end up with one of the sexiest cars in the world. Now why would that be "f#@kin"?

    And why isn't 300hp enough for a car that weighs 2200 pounds?

  • Is it a fuckin replica?

  • kit car?

  • 300hp isnt enough power for a car like that.....

  • Wut u really own 1?! Hate ya lucky guy ;)

  • "Wut u really own 1?!"

    Please explain why you're spelling like this.

  • Oooooh im so sorry... dont be cruel im no mothertongue... the headline is MY gt 40... do u get me.. i repeat: MMMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYYYY gt40 ok?!

  • Oooooh im so sorry... dont be cruel im no mothertongue... the headline is MY gt 40... do u get me.. i repeat: MMMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYYYY gt40 ok?!

  • 300 hp dont think so,the engine doesn´t run on 8 cylinders over 2000 rpm.

  • nice car!

  • this isnt a real GT, u can tell he built it, and put a fuckin corvette engine in it, thats a discrace to ford...

  • Well uno u cant really find any real Gt40's out there anymore, practically most of them are Kit cars. so nothing new. and yes a disgrace to ford

  • Get a life.

  • i agree with markrua4, corvette engine in a gt40? shame.

  • i agree with markrua4, corvette engine in a gt40? shame.

  • wow!!! i looove GT40s so much........ its the best super car for me, but its not my dream car, toyota corolla is my dream car, haha!!

  • This is sadly the slow version "slow! you say? Well yeah it is the slowest of the GT40's" but it still beats the ass of anything on the road. This is a nice gt40

  • yea but its light though

  • and its still 100% bad ass

  • hell yea

  • it is a beautiful video

  • this is replica - corvette engine - only 300hp

  • A ford GT 40 with a corvette engine!! The nerve, should be a Jailable offence to do that!

  • could have at least used a ford modular 4.6

  • cars like that are made for going fast and braking laws and pussy arse people that cant get even over 3000rpm suck shit!!! just give the car man.

  • Holly granny Knuckles..

  • you might want to try going over 20 mph

  • very nice !!!

    a LEGEND at Le Mans....

  • No that would be the new Ford GT. The origianl did not have 500 HP. Sorry dont have an actual number of hp.

  • well the 05 GT had 550 HP and it was midengine which is a huge advantage.

  • What are you talking about? I was just reply to killmandos. The gt40 does not have 500 or 550 hp. The new ford gt does yes. But the old one had 335 bhp. Dont get what your comment has to do with mine?

  • naw i mistook wat uy said calm the fuck down i wasnt talking down to you lyk a smartass i was just saying cuz lyk i said i misunderstood wat u said

  • I am calmed the fuck down......lol

  • thought the gt40 had 500bhp?..

  • yeah my bad...i got confused when i watched another video and some idiot called it a 351 chevy. Then not long after i realized 351 is a ford engine. But that was too late...haha
