OP
Car pics too cool not to share
- Thread starter Squatch
- Start date
I hastily posted that this was a legit Ford GT 40... It's a spot on replica by SuperPerformance. I've edited for accuracy .
I've been in and around a lot of big hp cars all my life. Never was a ride so brutal. Took a few tries to figure out how to get in and out of this thing and once you're buckled in to the slab of foam that's supposed to be a seat, it feels like you're in a coffin. 1966 Ford GT 40 Mk II replica. I have a few launch videos.. it was ballistic. The sound from straight piped power plant ten inches from your head was sensory rich. Cornering, at any speed, was a perfectly predictable and dead flat. This thing was made to drive all out for 24 hours.. '66 was the first year Ford finally took Ferrari in LaMans. Historic year.
It's for sale if anyones is interested.
Maybe the most fun ride I have ever experienced...

I’m 5’10” and 195…. I had to shoehorn into the passenger seat and dislocate my hips to get in the drivers seat
Worth every bit of effort
Kind of like early Porsche 911. The pedal set is off to the right farther than ideal. It needs to clear the front wheelwell..
Awesome car, I’ve never been in anything like it, I bet it's a blast. I'm a little confused though, you say it a legit '66 Ford GT40, but show a car with modern stuff and a build tag saying Superformance, LLC, who builds replicas. I assume it's a replica car built similar to the original. What engine is he running?
I stand corrected... Maybe my ability to hear was impeded by either the sound of the exhaust or my tentacles being up somewhere around my throat. I remember asking him.. Prices for originals are upwards of a million bucks if not more.. he chuckled. Knowing that he also has a 427 Shelby Cobra, I guess didn't probe hard enough.
Indeed a Superformance replica. So.. my apologies for the misleading post. That said, it remains one of the most brutal, yet enjoyable drives I have ever had.
Should have done more research before making a false claim. Can't lie.. I was excited about the experience.
