Just proof that if americans want to do somthing, we will do it. Thats the american way of thinking, there is nothing we can't do, or win. (except wars that the public does not like, those for some reason we can't)

4:42 onboard start... OMG that engine (and exhaust) sounds amazing. This is a great video all-around but that GT40 is one of the best sounding race cars of all time IMHO.
