Ford GT40 Lapping at Sebring International Raceway (Onboard)

This is a 1966 GT40 Mk.I doing some relatively low-speed test laps at Sebring International Raceway's 12-hour long course. Filmed during a NASA HPDE program, the car was in a mixed driver/vehicle group. Passing was strictly limited to specific track locations and required a 'point by' from the driver being passed. This car is Superformance chassis number GT40P/2192 and is registered in the Safir GT40 and Shelby Registries. This particular car was featured in the March 2009 edition of Car & Driver magazine. GT40P/2192 was prepared by Pathfinder Motorsports, which sells race-prepared GT40s for vintage racing. For more info: www.GT40racing.com

anoyne know if its a 302 or a 427?

[kimepetersen]

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

[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.

[falinx101]

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

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.

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