gt40 *VID* by our favorite critic
The most eccentric critic we all know and love has aquired a gt40 and made the quotes below:
" I just wet myself "
" faster than a ferrari "
" a lambo killer "
" Americans never knew how to make anything corner, just strait line speed... until now "
" Absolutely Epic "
Hopefully noone has posted this vid before, if so let me know and i'll delete the thread. Our favorite critic was absolutely blown away by this car. just LISTEN to it.... amazing.

I dunno about this...true it brings back the old great GT40, true it is fast as hell, but if I were to buy a true performance car, there is no way I would get one with a supercharger...even the Merc SLR turns me off on that one aspect. Come on, a truck engine? well I guess it worked on the chev small blocks in the late 50's, but not my taste. One question, where is the engineering? The engine, blower, steering wheel, and some other parts seem to come out of the ol' parts bin at Ford. For 100k this would not be my first choice....or second...or third. I dunno seems like Ford is just missing out on a big opportunity to sell a 100th anniversary car that can actually be mass produced and owned by a large percentage of the public.

I'm not sure what the MSRP is, but in the video the figure mentioned was 100K pounds. At the current rates, I'd guess that's about $170K.

Why would people be dumb to call our cars Toyotas? They are, look at the Japanese market, there isn't any Lexus (yet)
