[@scragglebum]

Man, when he said we live in a society that tears things down instead of talking about the good was so accurate. Everyone wants to hate on something they didnt create or were involved in. This car is beautiful

[@almoniousor3112]

True. The media creates an atmosphere of "I blame therefore I'm good". People will do anything for a moment under the lights.

I paused the video to write down that quote. :)

[@teej5619]

Ryan Edwards no matter the car, no matter how much it cost, no matter how expensive, or how rare it is Jay Leno will exercise the car. Which is why I watch him 👍👍👍👍👍

[@MintyGT]

There's a guy somewhere around Maryland that has an 05 Ford GT with 4(FOUR!) miles on the odometer and it honestly makes me kind of sad. I mean it's their money and they can do what they want, but that's a machine that was built for a purpose that it has yet to be able to do. The only miles on the thing are from rolling it on and off the trailer.

[@carscoffeeandcannabis-634]

I used to hate Leno, as I get older (I'm 26 now) I have grown to love him, his demeanor and enthusiasm, and his corny jokes. Really, he is everything you could want from someone with his age and experience, and very few car reviewers seem as genuine as him. His experiences are HIS experiences, and anecdotal as they are, they are exactly what the industry needs. keep it up Jay!

[@Mark-nu3ej]

I love the fact that Leno is a down to earth guy that truly loves cars. It really comes out in the reviews he does.

[@swalling22]

David Watson same here, I'm 28..I used to think him and his collection of cars was ridiculous and overboard. he truly appreciates and loves all of his rare unique vehicles and I applaud him for that

[@byard5860]

There are other people with substantial automotive collections that are never shared with the general public,love what Jay does.

[@BleedForTheWorld]

I've always liked Jay because he loves his Corvettes, the best super sports cars. Corvette > Ford GT.

[@dundonrl]

Are you kidding me?

[@dt3963]

Jay’s reviews are so real and pure. I love that he calls out other reviews for talking crap about it for stuff that doesn’t matter like it’s too noisy etc.. that seems to be the trend of modern day car reviews - they point out faults where there is none. “This toaster is great and all, but it doesn’t make coffee!”

[@dirkbag22]

Jay talks about cars like I would, if I had to money to buy (and if I could fit in) a Ford GT. At 6'6", that's not going to happen.

At 200 mph, that was just a 5 hour drive on Sunday. He left it in the garage for the next 6 days after that. 😉🤥😁

Well that was enough for that week and next week, another 1000

[@ChrisE-iy7ok]

i think anyone in their right mind would drive the hell out of a car like this in the first week tho it literally pulls the 10 year old kid out of you

[@oldtown6240]

Too bad many missed Jay's remark about (paraphrasing) that we live in an era where the focus is on tearing something down rather than appreciating the accomplishments.

[@dontaylor8451]

Yep.....

[@dukeallen432]

What accomplishments? It's a plastic appliance with no soul. Created by Fords marketing to get people to buy V6's. They failed on Raptor and in past on Turbo Coupe. And this car is just plasticky new wiz bang refridgerator yiu see at Lowes.

Michael Weston I want some more episodes of burn notice lol one of the best tv shows in a while

[@mcearl8073]

Michael Weston I know, that goes to show you it's an awesome car and Jays a true fan of it. Meanwhile you have Rob ferretti having a Ferrari 488 for 9 months and claims he's enjoyed it but only put 500 miles on it. I like the guy but that's absurd.

[@waynledbetter478]

This is one of the main things I enjoy about Jay and his videos. He's a true enthusiast. He has an amazing collection of rare and beautiful vehicles, and he's DRIVING THEM. They're not sitting around, collecting dust, just being stared at. He's putting miles on them. I love that!

[@lozanocorona8448]

😂😂 very good speech but they are right, even the trader mentioned above manages my boss' trading portfolio and is very good at his job

[@supra1jzed]

The aero engineering behind that car will probably be my favorite until the day I die. Also it's "story". Ford did this out of left field for the 50th anniversary of winning LeMans "just to show them we still can". This car not only cuts through the air unbelievably good (notice it's main body is shaped no different than land speed record cars), it's design allows the car to gain exceptional speed in a draft. After it makes it's pass, it doesn't return the tow to the car now behind. This car functions more like trying to draft 3 motorcycles. It dumps a LOAD of the air it goes through directly behind it into the face of the car behind. It's truly brilliant. Another neat fact about it, it's foot print is as large as it gets because it was too slippery. They still needed to achieve some downforce so they made the surface area of the car bigger to allow the rake of the car to still have enough there to give it downforce. Race cars generate downforce two ways (from GT cars to prototypes). First are aero packages. Splitters, dive planes, gurneys, wings, etc. The next way is the rake of the car (nose height in relation to tail height). Edit just to add a little more: While they could have kept the smaller footprint and increased the rake even more, that's dangerous. Rake doesn't just affect downforce. It primarily affects weight balance on each axle. If you rake the hell out of a car, it will be exceptionally "twitchy". Too much weight forward will make for a very unstable car, especially under braking at turn in. It's all about balance.

[@ericborthistle]

Jay Leno's application probably just said "I'm Jay Leno"

[@Beer_Dad1975]

He's an unashamed Ford fan for sure, so good publicity for them.

[@EvanG529]

[@snp9417]

It is breathtakingly beautiful and cool looking. None like it

[@denverwood5290]

My exact thoughts. I just love the looks of the GTs.

[@hcwbw3]

When Jay did his goodbye on "The Tonight Show" he impressed me the most when his reference to his legacy. He showed all the people who were part of the show and their families, especially the children and he also said, " I am leaving the dance with the same girl I came with" or something to that effect. It could be that he pays attention to little details, like " if your going to have a pantie in the trunk of the GT make sure it is your wife's or you will loose half the car", :) . But comedy aside, he is a thoughtful, down to earth, man who has a brilliant clarity of thought and love's America and is proud of what America has done and what she is capable of. I see him finding joy where you can get it, like the smile you see on his face when he is driving his Miata or his Ford GT, "That won Le Mans" shows me happiness comes from with in.

I'm proud of Ford for winning both the 1966 and 2016 Lemans. When I was a kid, Ford Motor Company was the origin of my dad's income. He worked for the company that delivered the Ford products out of Louisville Kentucky. Both the Louisville Assembly Plant and the Kentucky Truck Plant. I had an opportunity to see one the 1966 GT40s at the Sportsdrome race track in Jeffersonville Indiana. It was part of the "Mustang Tournament of Thrills" exhibition.

I've seen several Lincolns. I wonder why no Mercs?

Then of course I have 70 XR7 convt that you see in my profile pic and that was a project but it was a rust free car.

@@MrOdeezie585 Absolutely right. Reminds me of the $450 dashboard air conditioning control knobs Jay declined to buy from Mercedes for his 280 SE. Opting instead to 3D print them. The irony is they appear identical to knobs in my 1976 240 D. Jay could have obtained them from an import salvage yard much cheaper I'm sure but having bought a high end printer why not use it to create a solution? I'm sure this same mindset plays into him owning not a single Ferrari.

[@Michlwhtn]

Always a pleasure listening to Jay talk about the cars he owns and drives. It says a lot about a man who can afford to buy anything and doesn’t get the exhaust option because it literally doesn’t make logical sense to even purchase it. 🤙 Special shout out to Ken Miles and Carol Shelby for their brilliance in engineering and testing that help develop the GT we now see today.

The number of people claiming the car didn't win at Le Mans is baffling. It won its class. It isn't an LMP car.

[@kraenk12]

Last year..this year they lost to an old Aston.

[@daviscarver6492]

kraenk12 Ferrari and ford got cheated this year. they turned the boost down on both

[@RyTrapp0]

kraenk12 - That "old Aston" has a factory backed race team this season for the first time years. Calling it an "old Aston" is completely neglecting the substantial amount of financial backing this team had & the substantial developmental resources that it had received that it didn't previously. If you understand how 'Balance of Performance' is applied, you'll understand how this came to be an unforeseen advantage in the performance balance of each car(suffice to say, they take into account the model's previous historical race performance). Also, just like the Corvette(which has no problem maintaining pace, despite its relative age), the Vantage GTE went through significant upgrades & improvements as a result of the major regulation changes that occurred at the end of the 2015 season/the following off-season. And, given that cars are balanced to each other by the sanctioning body, age doesn't make a whole hell of a lot of difference if the base was good to begin with.

[@Te1ecastermaster]

The Mclaren F1 wasn't an LMP car either, and it won outright. Also, I would hope to god that you win Le Mans with all the financial backing of one of the largest Automakers in the world. It's why Audi/ Porsche have dominated for the past 2 decades. My cynical side tells me that Ford only wanted to win Le Mans for the publicity and marketing of the GT.

Say what you want about Jay as a Talk Show Host, but he is definitely a cool guy and is surprisingly easy to talk to. Used to see him around Burbank all the time when he was doing the Tonight Show. Always driving something different, of course... I once saw him pull out of NBC in a Corvette, and decided to rag on him at the stoplight about the Vette not being exotic enough. I was in an SUV, and most celebrities would just look the other way and then scoot when the light turned green. Not Jay. He leans over and rolls down the window and had me repeat my taunt. When I told him I didn't think a Corvette was up to his standards, he launched into an excited little description about the car and its "carbon fiber front-end" and etc., etc. Then, he asks me if I would like a pizza. He was taking a couple of them home from work and handed me one out the window: "It's good pizza", he says! Then he gets his left turn arrow and off he goes, up Buena Vista, toward his garage at Burbank Airport. I immediately went down the street to the stables where I kept my horse and tried to see if anyone could guess where I got the pizza I was sharing with them!

My Grandpa met Jay Leno and had a signed photo of Jay in the vintage race car he was working on at the time (Old Yeller 2). Since he passed away I now have that photo and whenever I look at it I just wish I could meet Jay.

Liberal Guns Matter - 10-year-olds should not be speaking to their Elders (and/or their Betters). I believe it is past your bedtime. If you knew anything at all about Jay Leno and his relationship with Burbank, you wouldn't question my story. Here''s another for you - I am one of the only people that has seen Jay ride a horse! He was doing 'promo spots' for his new 10 o'clock show and went around our neighborhood (it was a setup, of course) knocking on doors to ask what he could do to help people get ready to watch his new show. My neighbor had him clean out her horse's stall and then let Jay ride the horse down the street on camera. It was done at 10 p.m., and Jay had a small crew of camera/sound/Producer, the horse owner, and two of us neighbors there to witness it. Consider this a bedtime story. Now off you go. I'll be up to tuck you in a little later. F'in Snowflake...

Yeah, he said several times he had about 1k miles on this GT at the time. He then later mentioned that he put those 1k miles on the car in about a week. Granted he used to car to film this episode, but all the in-car shots could have probably been done with less than 50 miles of driving. He has more cars than he could ever drive regularly, but it sounds like he just enjoys cruising around and flogging on them a bit in his free time.

Forget the cars, take away the money, all that. I relaxed watching this. A huge thing. Like guys relax talking to their friends about cars or bikes or boats or carpentry. The conversation was familiar, a conversation I've had with friends on many topics. Even though I wasn't doing any of the talking, I didn't need to, I got everything Jay said. I got it.
