I was 17 when I filmed this, now I am 25 years old. I believed a random guy that it was a legit gt40 but it is in fact a superformance replica, still very cool 😎
This is the best sounding machine I swear cant find any other v8 that sounds like the old gt40s. Its a cross of a panzer/p51 mustang/ old cammed out chevy. But when they rev up then sounds like a small block v12 just wicked.
Thanks to Carol Shelby for creating this iconic car and thanks to Ken Miles for his input in perfecting the beast and of course his great driving skills , if only he had said “ bollox “ to Ford during the race and crossed the line in first place for the triple crown , I wonder how many more records he would of achieved. 😎👍🇬🇧
GT40 smiled when the cameraman stood real close right when the fuel pump primed😉. Said “wachdis” and shook him down to his foundations. Happens to all of us at one point or another, so don’t feel bad. Feels amazing in the moment tho
Does anyone know exactly which engine they ran in the 66, 67, 68, and 69 Le Mans winning cars? I believe the FE427 was used only one year, in '66. And it was in a mild state of tune, only putting out about 450 hp. Does anyone know for sure?
@ Steve Hillman ; 1966/ 427 - 1967/427 - 1968/4.9L - 1969/4.9L . The 4.9L put out 425bhp. The 1966/427 put out 485bhp. The 1967/427 put out 500bhp because of the second added carburetor. It was noted that after the 1967 Le Mans race the winning car J5 engine was well broken in and was now putting out 530bhp.The 1967 Gulf Mirage's ran 305-351ci engines.
The mk1 has 289 4.7liters engine. The mk2 has a 427 7liters engine. Also the MK2 is heavier than the mk1, but faster, and the mk1 had better handling and acceleration if I'm not mistaken. But one thing for sure, the mk2 was really fast, it could reach 350 km/h (220mph)
i think its funny, the GT40 was designed by Lotus and ford took the credit for a british race driver and mechanic finetuning it. it was really the britsh all a long, ford just gave them the money to build an epic car
Ken Miles is happy in heaven with that sound.

True ☝️💯💯
Yes he is
He very much is
Yup I also think Henry ford is very joyful right now
Thank god for Shelby...
And Ken

@@desertodavid I agree 😂
Wow! Kudos to you for setting the record straight.
To date this is still THEE best thumping gt40 video ever. I come back to this time and time again. Thank you for capturing this legend so perfect too.
Some times the old girls have the best looking rear ends❤🔥
Adventure Sonic sometimes!
Agreed
That’s what the car is supposed to look like in every racing game.
Oh my. That idle. The 427 sideoiler is such a sweetheart!!
Wonder if this 427 racing engine is similar to the engine Shelby used in his 67 Super Snake
@@shelby-wu3gf yes, in fact, the 67 Super Snake had the exact same engine as the GT40 Mk II
@@shelby-wu3gf Yes. 427 side oiler. The baddest of the Ford FE engine platform.
@@patrickhurley2237 Wait... so there are *more* Ford Racing FE engines??
@@SigTheSauceMan I had a '67 F-100 with a 390 FE.

Fuel injected mushroom carb tops. new high performance brakes and stabilizers. Would love to ride in it!
That thing is a nasty sounding beast! And I love it!!
Ahh the sound of pure freedome

And I'm sure carol would dislike that some owners put his great creations under glass ❤
Loving that fat cam yo
R.I.P. Ken Miles. 😭😭😭😭😭
Always neat too me,when people walk by,the roof of the GT is only waist high.
The "40" was supposed to be car height at roof level.
I’d pay to have my super snake sound like this pure bad ass

Sounds more like a 289 than a 427. Must be cold ,it has a little sputter like WW2 fighter plane.
This car is mental!

What is the difference between mk1 and mk2 ?
Better aero, upgraded engine
The mk1 has 289 4.7liters engine.
The mk2 has a 427 7liters engine. Also the MK2 is heavier than the mk1, but faster, and the mk1 had better handling and acceleration if I'm not mistaken. But one thing for sure, the mk2 was really fast, it could reach 350 km/h (220mph)
