Is it wrong that I was disappointed when the car did NOT get thrashed, as the URL sort of hinted at? :P Nice share, GT. Thanks. :thumbsup:

Considering how wet it was I reckon that's as fast as he could go without introducing it to the scenery  :P

Cool.

It squirms every time he puts the power down out of a corner. Bit damp to hang the back end out.

I don't know if this car is a replica or a genuine GT40, no matter. Many thanks for this vid, DD.

That was the real thing, GT... A true, vintage, 1965 GT40. I've only ever seen one in person once, and it was a truly experience for me. That car is #2 on my top 5 list of favorite supercars.

I think I've seen a real one. There were 4 parked together and at least 2 were replicas. All sexy though.

  Makes me think of the Pontiac GTO since I had a friend that had the GTO somewhere near that time frame.  From the vid it seems he had his own instrument panel put in, got the feeling it got converted from a street car to a track car.
