Josh Drives the GT40

[@Jorgens_Garage]

I'm 6'3" and have a GT40 MK2 Superformance. Tom Kirkham did the build and we modded the floor to give me around 2" and also pushed out the pedals a bit... fit like a glove.

[@normalguysupercar]

Yeah I've heard it's possible

[@briandeaton3550]

Great video! When is Meg's review?

[@MEGLITatUT]

Coming later this week.

[@normalguysupercar]

Soon...

[@absolutelynonameslef]

There goes my desire to ever own a GT40!

[@absolutelynonameslef]

Indeed. I'm a little thicker than Josh (not sure how tall he is) and 6'1" 220lbs. I could suffer in the car if it were free, but don't think I'd pay for the pain!

[@normalguysupercar]

Yeah, Josh certainly didn't look very comfortable in there. LOL!

[@jimminugent9926]

If you buy the car they can move the pedals back so people your height can fit in easily. The car is adjusted to the driver although the seats dont move

[@silverado123]

Love your new car. It sounded great when. Josh started getting into it

[@normalguysupercar]

Heck yeah.

[@vivekh7662]

I'm 6'2" and have the same issue. When visiting Hillbank they said they can cut down the seat padding to fit me in better.

[@normalguysupercar]

Yeah I think some companies can even modify the way the seat or the pedals are positioned

[@ndpesicgroup]

Nice !!!! Was that Fred in the background ?

[@normalguysupercar]

LOL yes.

[@kevinmanning8214]

@@normalguysupercarFred’s a character, really enjoyed meeting him at the opening!!😂😂

[@ndpesicgroup]

@@kevinmanning8214 Became friends through this channel.... great guy

[@pjcornell9691]

Same turn signal as on my golf cart. I guess getting parts will be fun !

[@normalguysupercar]

Lol yeah

[@AMSillje]

Front lifter is probably okay, the terrible lifting noise is very similar to the axle lift on an Enzo. Anyways, I very much enjoy the gt40 uploads!

[@normalguysupercar]

Thank you!

[@rickyplift4473]

That car is so cool!

[@normalguysupercar]

Thank you

[@AmitPatel_.]

Is that a suction cup holding the rear view mirror to the windshield?

[@normalguysupercar]

Yup

[@proper_miles]

There’s probably some adjustments that could be done to lower the seat. Reducing the cushioning like you said… Or maybe the mounting hardware underneath can be modified or changed to lower it a bit. Looks like he only needs to come down an inch to make it work, two if he wants to not worry about decapitation every time he would close the door. Love this choice though… In a world full of computers on wheels, we need to go backwards to find the joy in driving again.

[@normalguysupercar]

Yeah, I've heard there's ways to get it to fit taller people, but eh, not a big concern for me. :)

[@garyleibitzke4166]

@@normalguysupercar I heard that the Ford GT that Ford made from 2005 - 2006 was actually a few inches taller than the original GT40's so taller people would fit.

[@cameronmmj9291]

Also changing the seats to Tillets might also be a good shout. At Goodwood a few owners make that mod

[@Comech64]

Damn that thing sounds really good when you get on it

[@normalguysupercar]

Ohhh yes.

[@charliecleanup]

was wondering now that you have had the car for a bit if there are things that make it less of a driver than you would like (forgetting the seat height) I am more looking at the technical end of things...as I am considering one

[@normalguysupercar]

I'm pretty damn happy with it. It is certainly an event car. You don't just hop in and go to the store... Although I have done that a few times.

[@charliecleanup]

I’m sold

[@ChrisLoomisDirtFlix]

i knew there was a benefit to being short 😁

[@normalguysupercar]

Haha right?! I'm content with my height for the sports car world.

[@marklatkowski9327]

What great fun!

[@normalguysupercar]

Yes indeed

[@philipparana9225]

Ia the lift hydraulic or air? Sounds hydro with low fluid

[@normalguysupercar]

I'm not sure honestly. I need to investigate.

[@gnashsang]

I wonder if I could even fit in the 05-06 GT at 6’4” 270lbs

[@normalguysupercar]

I think it would be difficult

[@JW-lo2bh]

It needs a Josh bubble!

[@jsarg]

I’ll buy one if they do!

[@normalguysupercar]

Lol

[@berniewalker355]

Looks like Josh likes the car and Fred is crazy.

[@normalguysupercar]

Haha yes

[@ScottHolley-gi2mg]

Take the cushion out from behind the seat that I put in for us short guys.....LOL

[@normalguysupercar]

Oh yeah. I didn't even know it was there until later on. Ha!

[@haroldmclean3755]

I like it 👍😃

[@normalguysupercar]

Thanks 😁

[@hughmann1908]

I wonder what the Shelby coupe drives like

[@normalguysupercar]

May have to try that

[@WildBillJr]

Nice!

[@normalguysupercar]

Thanks!

[@ScottHolley-gi2mg]

Tell Josh there is a tall man option that fits a 6"4" dude! I can get him one to his spec!

[@normalguysupercar]

I suspect he wouldn't want it. LOL!

[@alienfleet3702]

The first 4 minutes should be called "Josh drives a truck." lol

[@normalguysupercar]

Ha!

[@williambrown5974]

How tall is he?

[@normalguysupercar]

I think 6'1"

[@brettl88]

I’d be in the same boat as Josh then. ☹️

[@opethmike]

When you eat yogurt, do you prefer to use a small spoon, or a big spoon?

[@normalguysupercar]

Yogurt small spoon.

[@opethmike]

@@normalguysupercarSame bro, same

[@kfrdubber]

How tall is Josh? Does he sit tall? I stil tall, so just wondering.

[@normalguysupercar]

I think 6'1"

[@jsarg]

6’3” on a good day

[@BobGeogeo]

How tall is Josh? Dan Gurney was "nearly 6 feet 4 inches", according to Wiki.

[@normalguysupercar]

I think 6'1"?

[@jsarg]

6’3” on a good day

[@BobGeogeo]

@@jsarg Close enough to Gurney. I think the bubble on Dan's car may be a little lower than some of the '60s bubbles.

[@machtschnell7452]

Dan Gurney was 6'4". The bubble was created for him while wearing a helmet.

[@normalguysupercar]

Yup!

[@dzikijohnny]

You didn’t buy a car, you bought a go kart!

[@normalguysupercar]

Just a big go kart

[@garyleibitzke4166]

Josh, somehow I get the impression you like it.

[@normalguysupercar]

Haha just maybe.

[@vivekh7662]

The Type 65 Coupe has much more room and is more streetable in my opinion.

[@normalguysupercar]

Ah

[@rickyplift4473]

Was Fred high or drunk??? 😂😂🤣🤣

[@normalguysupercar]

Yes. Lol

[@BluemanDrummer]

Obviously I’m close, but that’s an actual race car, but street legal? Is it more fun than your Ferrari? ❤

[@normalguysupercar]

In some ways yes, and in others no

[@christhomas9842]

You guys need to manual swap an aventador

[@normalguysupercar]

Eh, not really.
