What if the Ford-Ferrari wars of the sixties had instead been the Ford-Ferrari-Jaguar wars? Peter Wilson’s new book XJ13 reveals how close this came to happening. http://www.paulskilleterbooks.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=117 Of particular interest to the Ford GT/GT40 community is...

Other cars on the VIR skidpad at Rally 5. Team Jeff continues the fun in the SPF Daytona coupe - and proves that a Moose will fit in it! http://vimeo.com/15887457 Jeff takes the Moose's rental Mustang out: http://vimeo.com/16040951 DBK in a Raptor: http://vimeo.com/16041549 Tim Cantwell in...

The rainy weather at Rally 5 gave the opportunity to spend more time at the skid pad at VIR. Here's a collection of videos of Ford GT's intentionally spinning. These are 1920x1080 HD videos (i.e., large files), so if you have a slow connection you may need to let them stream ahead for a bit...

That's an understatement! Just as incredible as the detail and workmanship is the fact that he had the courage to fly it - and fly it aggressively. I wonder why he didn't fly it with the pilot figure in the cockpit until later. Notice the JB Weld on his workbench is Russia - that stuff is...

A long time ago I discovered that the Ford GT's LEDs appear to run sequentially in a circular motion when shot with a GoPro. Really strange looking.

After two or three years with the short throw, I still love it. Drove another GT with a stock shifter a while back, and it was strange. Absolutely would not go back to the stock shifter.

It's good to see successful entrepreneurs spending their money on something worthwhile.

That's a very common problem, but it can be a little confusing at times because it doesn't necessarily show up right away - sometimes it can be days or many miles after you've last opened and closed it, and that's why it's natural to think that the light indicates a door ajar. I've found that...

I don't have a hard time reading this because unfortunately I've read this kind of thing a thousand times before. But I do have a hard time reading it without becoming angry that circumstances could exist to set this crew up to fail at what they get paid the bucks to do - to keep the aircraft...

Translation of the Russian title: Ford GT with twin turbos on the highway

Do you mean development and sales of the Tempero replica? I'm all ears for whatever stories, and re: the teaser photo!!

Then you've got one of the most beautifully built D-Type replica's in existence! I'm very familiar with the Tempero family's work, as I have the last of their seven XJ13 replicas. Here's a video Rod sent me a while back - not of my car, but of an earlier one under construction...

Welcome! What part of Minnesota? Hope you get to meet some forum members in person - some great people out there. :thumbsup

Beautiful D-Type replica! :thumbsup Who built it? Would love to see more photos.

Our experience at Firebird was that side by side at the same speed, we needed to brake very slightly earlier in the GT40. In that circumstance, last to brake = first into the corner. The brakes weren't hot enough on either car to fade - I think it's just the very slight difference in the...

That would certainly be interesting. Although I don't race, I have track time in both the GT and SPF GT40. Team Jeff & I have each driven both cars at Firebird and Spring Mountain. I wish we would have taken the GT40 to VIR, but we took the SPF Daytona instead and had electrical gremlins in the...

The scariest thing is that people actually drive these cars. I saw one on a motorway while coming into London a few years ago.

If I drive someone else's car (whether GT or a beater) and the owner has NOT been with me, when I hand the keys back I ask, "Do you know how fast your car will go?" I usually get a horrified look as they respond with a hesitant, "No, how fast does it go?" Then I answer, "Oh, I don't know. I...

Too bad the GT doesn't have a spare tire. :lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCrmbIC6mVM
