....Ford 'state of the art' race engine development in the 60's. But fast forward to 2015, if you happen to get into Ford (Racing) dyno cell 17G while in Dearborn, don't let some young hot shot engineer tell you that their race simulation is cutting edge stuff. :biggrin

Ford engine guru/legend Mose Nowland talks to 'technology transfer' of this race simulation to application in production vehicles in the second video.

Note: don't optimize the size/resolution and leave your volume down. This is original 8mm material that has not been reformatted for changes in technology.

Sweet!
Like the Muzak background music, and the first-to-third shift....
Times have really changed.

You bum. You knew we were all expecting something else.

Good find nevertheless. If you watch the film to the end you can see a simulated Colotti transaxle failure.

I would have put in the proper category - 2016 Ford GT ;- ))
