It seems that the production GT40 has an great fit and finish. Better than what I would have expected from Ford's first recent attempt at making something "exotic". The car does NOT seem crude and actually looks more "polished" than the concept car without losing the concept car look one bit. Although its expensive, I would prefer one to a GTS, only somehow I think the Viper has a better name than the Ford GT. The original GT40 has a name and a definite history, but somehow ford has not made a good enough name for themselves to warrant $150K, I dont think dodge has either, but then the viper is well under $100K and even a comp coupe is 30K less expensive than the GT.

here is a pic that I photoshopped into a pic that looks like someone painted it..I am going to print this one out on heavy art type paper and hang it my garage....

I even got goofy and signed it at the bottom.

Here is a video of the F1 cars at the start...if you ever get the chance to see and feel a F1 start for real...you will never forget it.

It is amazingly loud and the ground shakes as they leave...totally cool.

This file is about 3 meg and i would suggest turning up the volume and your sub if you have one.

Another video...

the F1 cars getting lined up after the warm up lap....just listen to those F1 engines. WOW! Nothing like a 3.0 V10 screaming at you at 18,000+ RPM.

Turn up the volume on this one too!

The screaming one was my favorite too...I got a major rush when I played it for the first time. I am glad you enjoyed it.
