The Real Problem With Ford V Ferrari

[@johnnyringo4463]

How about them showing more of the Daytona Cobra. That's the car that really beat Ferrari, before the GT40. Or that the GT40 design was bought from Lola. Good movie nonetheless though. Its good entertainment.

[@eatsmylifeYT]

Yeah, they totally overlooked the Cobra-Ferrari Wars. And the fact that the Shelby Daytona beat Ferrari a year before Ford did.

[@eatsmylifeYT]

They didn't even say anything about the Shelby Daytona beating Ferrari a year before Ford did. Technically, Shelby American was the first American car manufacturer to beat Ferrari, not Ford.

@@eatsmylifeYT yeah it's annoying, but that's Hollywood for you. I will say though, Matt makes a surprisingly passable Carroll Shelby

[@eatsmylifeYT]

@@therobbinsnest45 Yes, he does. I think Bale also got Ken Miles spot-on. At least, he looked like him, basing on the photos.

@@therobbinsnest45 Another thing I found funny watching to reaction videos about "Ford V. Ferrari" was the amount of "car guys" who didn't know about the Shelby victory over Ferrari the previous year. And they were supposed to be "car guys". Ha.

Trying to make Ford, the biggest car manufacturer for like 50 years , an underdog against Ferrari making a dozen cars per year is pretty wild

@@zimbabwejim7153 and being the front runner with a WW2 vet driving the lead car no less, well the only year he ran

[@petenikolic5244]

The only problem is the Ford is by far the better vehicle

[@therobbinsnest45]

100%, no question. Better performance and way better looking. The wheel arches on the Ferrari looked terrible
