Hey Superformance what is the difference in handling between the mk1, mk2 and mk1 widebody? Which one can handle better a big powerful engine ?
@dmdproductions1570
@dmdproductions1570 5 жыл бұрын
@@luisdelaroca6314 No real difference in handling between the 3. A little more rear grip with the Extra Widebody MKI with the 3" wider wheels in the back. The MKII has more room in the engine bay to accommodate the big block engine and extra scoops on the rear clam shell to keep it cool.

Worked on Porsche for some years (12??) back in the late 80's and 90's. One thing I loved about them ( and I loved many, many things about them ) Was that they did not have power brakes or power steering. When people asked me about it I would always say "you can run over a dime and tell if it's heads or tails". We serviced a few race cars and they were, as he said, visceral. Loud, in your face, tight and mechanical. Good times but my dream car is a GT40 with an FE big block 427 side oiler.

I'm 75 now and i can remember going to Silverstone in the 60s i was in my 20s with a friend who was a TV camera rigger and having a pit pass. We spent all day moving around the track and watching the racing i can remember the GT40's lapping all the other cars and flashing the Porsche's to move over so they could pass it was brilliant. i wanted so much to drive one my dad asked why i had a large picture of a car on my bedroom wall and i had to explain to him that this was no ordinary race car this was a FORD GT 40 nope still don't get it. oh well i guess there are just some things you cant explain they either get it or they don't i fell in love with the car on that day it was my 4 wheeled hero. I had a highly tuned 63 mk1 Cortina at the time [tuned by me] which i used to blatt around in [well at least it was a Ford] and i actually touched a GT40 once at a car show these cars are legend and deserve to be so. Watching this vid brought back all those wonderful memory's thank you guys OH by the way i have a 66 MK1 Ford Cortina tucked away in my garage I guess we just never grow up!

I could be missing the point not having all matching numbers and it registered etc etc. I had an AC Cobra Mk IV with a 302 about 25 years ago and that wasn’t anything brutal at all, sold it for peanuts.

You didn't have to stroke out a BOSS 302 to 347 to get 500 bhp, even back in 1969. Ford had manuels instructing afficionados and racers how to do it, and all without turning it into a long stroke hog tractor.

​@@USandGlobal No, he's right. The GT40 was more British than American. It was based on the Lola Mk6 and mostly engineered by Ford of Britain. By bar the most American thing about the car was the engine. You're also right, though. It is a Ford.

What was it like getting in and out of the seats. Is the steering wheel removable? His comment on his wife sleeping made me laugh. I thought I had the only spouse that could do that. My Boss 302 is almost as loud, raw and rough as Parnellis No. 15. Yet when we go to car shows on the way home shes snoring as I row the T-handle. Great channel.

How can you register that for the road without bumpers?
@supercarsandsuperfoods5779
@supercarsandsuperfoods5779 Жыл бұрын
Most of the 50 states either register these as "Specially Constructed Vehicles" or by the year they replicate. In either case it exempts them from modern safety and emissions requirements.

Every state does if differently. Some states will title the car by what it replicates, so 196X Ford and some title it as a new "Specially Constructed Vehicle." Varies from state to state but can be registered legally in all 50 states.

I’ve been a Ford guy since the late 1970s. I hope super formance never goes out of business and continues to make these cars. My pet peeve was at the Daytona, the Shelby cobra 427 and the GT 40 were very limited production cars and expensive. They’re still not cheap but at least some people can buy them.

@AutotopiaLA 4 жыл бұрын
With the Daytona there were only 6 made so good luck to anyone trying to buy one of those...I love what Superformance does to give us regular guys a shot at owning a great replica
