[@stevepatterson8995]

Short story - when David was young we were driving back to Virginia from DisneyWorld and he was crashed out sleeping in the back. I looked in the rear view mirror and saw a Ford GT coming up fast - I didn’t wake David up but when he woke up later and I told him about it, he busted my chops the whole way back for not waking him up! He was into cars even way back then!

[@illogicalgarage8641]

What car were you driving though?

[@stevepatterson8995]

A Ford Windstar van 😮😊

I watched Ford VS Ferrari for the first time last night. This video couldn’t have come out at a better time lol

That’s so awesome!

[@StockTurboN20]

Before anyone says it these GT40’s are identical to the original cars. Same materials, and built the same way if you don’t believe me watch How It’s Made there’s an episode on these

[@Jasta315]

Still just a reproduction... 🤷‍♂😂

[@StockTurboN20]

@@Jasta315 doesn’t matter they’re identical

[@adamfrbs9259]

They are actually longer. Superperformance, used the original designer who always want a little longer chassis, which didn't happen with the original design. That's one difference off the top of my head. There's more, but ya I get your point.

[@ricardo1e93]

​@@Jasta315Shelby approved. Nuff said.

[@Jasta315]

@ricardo1e93 all that means is they paid Shelby for the rights to build it. All Shelby did was cash the check 😂

[@FrancescoMarelli84]

Italian here, and fanboy of all cars and bikes Italian. But boy oh boy this GT40 is handsome, and that sound, OMG THAT SOUND. ❤😂🎉

[@MuddyTubMedia]

A car that weighs as much as an NA Miata, but has 5x the power. Yeah that sounds like a good time

[@chris_not_larson]

The tops of the ITBs doing a little happy dance made me smile :)

[@mazdaroadster-mx5]

You and Jimmy Broadbent driving a GT40 around the same time is an insane coincidence

ik its making me wanna get my hands on the blueprints and build one goddamit

A literal dream job he worked his tail off for

[@colincolin7237]

To be fair, he puts in the work for it. Dudes got plenty of skill to handle anything and he always knows his stuff.

[@notdaltonxd]

That's crazy timing with you and Jimmy reviewing a GT-40

[@az_3kgt714]

There's something about old classics that we have lost as we have refined our cars into appliances. Back when cars were just cars.

[@QuincyHarrison-rz1wk]

Another legend you need to drive is the Panoz Esperanta GTR 1

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

I’ve driven their “normal” one but not that beast!

[@QuincyHarrison-rz1wk]

@ThatDudeinBlue but you you gotta try because it's just one of the missing Fords that no one talks about

BROOOOOO?!?!?! freaking congrats man! if any youtuber deserves it its you!!! don't ever stop no matter what!

[@ElDookenstine]

Both you and Jimmy Broadbent getting a chance to drive a GT40 within a week or so is crazy. What a dream it would be to drive something this special.

[@sobczakj2005]

David, please have the owner double check the safety wire direction on the wheels. At 6:35, it looks like the safety wire is pulling the tri spoke in the loosening direction.

[@Eastcoastgarag3]

What a sick car

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

It’s so freakin’ incredible

[@jameskeveson6868]

Out of all the KZbinrs, I’m glad David was the one to do this review. Your way of describing things to make it relatable to the audience is amazing brother!!

[@redsion23]

I shed a happy tear for you David. I would love to get to even ride in one 😢

[@bhamm96]

Oh my, David, this is a bucketlist drive! Thoroughly stoked you got to experience arguably the greatest American made racecar ever.

[@julianneale6128]

The GT40 is an English racing car, with a Ford badge on it, powered by a a Ford V8 engine.

[@fantasiafox22]

So happy for you David!!❤❤ Wow, I’m getting butterflies just thinking about how you felt. I’m surprised you didn’t cry a little on camera let alone talk the whole time. I would have been SPEECHLESS. Big ups my brotha ❤❤ You deserve it.

[@snxc1627]

What an unforgettable experience this must've been! This car is racing royalty

[@Usmc913]

I've been looking at building one of the gt40 kit cars. About as close as I'll ever get to owning one. Loved this video.

[@Skooby59]

Song choice is AMAZING as always my man!

[@carsNcards]

Actually watching this makes me feel emotional. It is just too cool.

[@lprince96]

I arguably have to say that it's the best sounding V8 in the world. Always loved these cars.

[@cardiacdrummer5443]

Watching the ITBs dance in the back, along with the sound and raw experience: mesmerizing

Hey bro this is a special one man, congratulations and I'm fairly certain you'll never forget that day!! 🤘🇺🇲

[@us249]

that is one of the best sounding cars i have ever heard

[@svgproductions72]

This has always been my dream car, even a kit-car version, pushing to get it as we speak!

[@yung829]

Cool video man, been watchning forever man. I love these types of videos cause a lot of people don't describe the car like you do. hope you read this comment cause I love your videos man.

[@NYHeeb]

The ITBS popping up and down inches behind your head is car love incarnate. Raw and awesome as cars should be

[@NCE1612]

Safety wire on the wheel lock is crazy. We using aviation safety wire on a car just straight up badass!

[@gaydes1012]

you should review classic cars more often, I love stuff from the 70s and back, but a lot of people don't get it, they see the underwhelming specs of most classic cars, the lack of easy computer tuning, and the harder to get parts and they just write them off as old junk, or just an interesting relic and don't pursue them any further. I want more people to experience classic cars, getting my partner to "see the light" so to speak has been one of the most fun automotive journeys I've had, watching them discover this thing I'm so passionate about for the first time is so heartwarming to me.

[@UltraMagnis]

Love seeing the itbs opening theough the rear window. Rad. Always loved those pop up tbs.

[@lazydadsgarage]

Congrats on the ultimate dream come true. When I saw the thumbnail I knew this was going to be a special video

[@Graves-81_69]

I’ve loved the GT40 ever since I was a kid. When Ford released the GT a guy in my town got a red one with white stripes. Nice car but I like the vibe of a MK3 in white with blue stripes

[@brbgaming5456]

5:14, there are 3 itb filters loose just flopping around while your driving. Could have come loose from vibrations or maybe a negligent mechanic maybe even owner. Although it does make me wonder what other things may be loose and about to fall off . Hopefully not though

[@hooah1986]

noticed this as well.

[@yhelloh]

amazed so few noticed...

[@philbert006]

They aren't loose flopping around. The engine is just that violent and the camera isn't running fast enough to see it moving. But you better believe it is. If anything were loose in there, that thing would have yeeted it right off pretty quickly. I'm pretty sure that shit is all solid mounted, no soft engine mounts, suspension bushings, all that. It's going to vibrate, and it's going to be violent and uncomfortable and rattle your fillings loose. That car is certainly nut and bolt checked regularly, or filters would be the least of the things falling off.

[@Gjtvideos]

David out here living my dream, happy for you🙌🏼

After watching your videos for years now, i think you definitely deserve this experience

[@SpikeJonesTheCr0oked]

Those 180° headers sound amazing

[@黒キツネ-九零二一零]

fun fact: the GT40's body was designed by the british, same as the shelby cobra (AC cobra), and for the rims, they're called "knock-offs". lowriders have been using these types of rims for decades edit: it was also built by the british as well and i love it when those ITB caps are just flopping around every time you mash the throttle

[@xaviacostaamaro5392]

[@tuneitordie888]

1400 cars has to be one of the top Car Pokedexes I've heard about. Congrats on the MILEstone.

[@kurtbarrett6785]

No freakin way! I've heard "wine glass" mentioned when describing those wheels, but just accepted it, without understanding why... Til just now! I finally see the dang wine glass shape around the holes!

[@gavinsnyder9028]

To add to david saying driving a classic car is like a dont meet your heros moment. That all can be fixed by getting non numbers matching classic of your choice and going full restomod for the car and you get the best of both worlds. You get the raw and analog driving experience of a classic car but you get something thats enjoyable to drive when setup right. Take a 65 mustang for example and change everything out for a better suspension setup and big brakes but keep the 289 and do a high compression N/A build you would have one of the best driver cars in your town. That's a 500hp 289 Ford and it's imo the best sounding V8 Ford has ever made. Better than the terminator.

[@subie25i30]

Helllllll yesssss! That downshift. OMG😎

[@geoffb64]

Those mesh filters on the trumpets were giving me anxiety. But what an incredible car...

[@Thomas50000]

I’m jealous. This is STILL a childhood dream and probably always will be!

[@courtthompson2236]

We have the same taste in cars. I saw an original Gt40 years ago at a show when i was a kid. An hour later im told we need to go for lunch, you need to stop looking like you want to steal this car. Vey jealous, this and the cobra both dream cars

[@Scott_Buchanan]

What a glorious sound 🥹 I wonder what a coyote with ITB’s and 180* degree headers would sound like?

Your pedal demonstration... doesn't sound so bad!? My stepdad's '66 427 Shelby Cobra's 3 pedals are in a space narrower than both of my feet. combined. I had to do everything with the sides of my feet. Driving shoes were mandatory for that one and I didn't have them.

[@fatherfirefighter7751]

Absolute dream car

[@Carstuff111]

I am not a Ford man, I am a GM man. However, there are Fords I respect, and a select few I think would be glorious to own. This car, is absolutely a Ford I would own in a heartbeat. Ford (more to the point, Shelby) did something mind blowing with these cars. The supercharged Ford GT is absolutely glorious, it was the evolution of a masterpiece that they could have, and nearly did, screw up. The fact that Ford kept the middle child simple is exactly why it is still so good. The modern car is cool and all, but the GT40 and the supercharged V8 GT are both peak Ford.

[@TBIRD0625]

What I would give to have one of these, great engine choice too. Gotta have those ITBs

[@davidrunyon]

The owner of HPJ Performance(Mostly specializes in Mustangs) down the street from me just bought an 05 Ford GT. Wonder if he'd let you film a video with it. It was selling for $299k so pricing isn't too bad on them.
