GT40 vs Ford GT

Which do you prefer? Honestly, I think the original GT40 is better than the new Ford GT. The advancements on the Ford GT are great and all, but I feel it's "lost" something in translation.

I'd drive both, but I prefer the classic lines and shorter wheel base of the original. Oh, a NA engine to boot [img]/images/graemlins/smiles[/img]


I have a video of a GT40 (replica) chassing a Skyline GTR. I think the GT40 looks pretty damn good running through the mountains.



Oh yeah, fuck Shelby and his suit-happy old self.

A friend of mine here in Phoenix built his own Roaring 40's and it made Kit Kar a couple of times. The thing is bad to the bone and I do not consider it a "kit Kar". He built it from the ground up and took him over a year to finish it. Imagine seeing the best pu$$y in the world and that is the feeling you get when you walk up to it. I would leave my wife for one. Ok maybe I wouldn't go that far but I would have to think about it. [img]/images/graemlins/laughing.gif[/img]

Re: GT40 vs Ford GT

Looks - original

Performance - new

Everything else - new

If I had to own one - new



I do love the original, but I don't think it would come close to the over-all performance, comfort, and reliability of the new.

I don't like the supercharged engine.

Larger wheelbase is good for interior room, but I still like the original.

I just don't like it. I expect to see 8 throttle bodies and a bundle of snakes when I look at it.


But, what ever floats everyones boat.

Re: GT40 vs Ford GT

Looks are not overly significant. The new one has it all over the old one.
