@@billhoman694 Exactly!!!! The GT is a 5 L supercharged v8. The GT40 is a 4.7 NA V8 out of a 1st generation Mustang. Let's do it again and line up Dougie Boy with something worth racing.
Note to the commentator: The "40" in the name GT40 represents the maximum height of the "roofline" is from the ground. 40 inches was part of the racing regulations at Le Mans when the car was developed to beat Ferrari at Le Mans. Racing regs stated that every car in that class could be no taller than 40 inches over all. "40" is not indicative of how high the car is in general. To generally state that the car is "x" amount of inches from the ground usually refers to the ride height, not the roof line height. The original 289 in the mk3 wad rated to be 305bhp but most cars of the era produced significantly more bhp than their factory specifications due to inconsistancies in manufacturing processes. Without computers to manufacture and/or to run the engine management, engine power was hardly ever what the manufacturer claimed it to be. Shelby himself said this and also that he suspected bhp to be closer to 350-375bhp in the 289 as a result. The mk3 could accelerate from 0-60 as low as 5 sec. Also the 2005 Ford GT had 550bhp and accelerated from 0-60 in 3.7 sec. The only production car that could officially reach acceleration times that low was the McLaren F1 at 0-60 in 3.2.
He did get into the twelves in the second run. I know they're capable of faster, but that's pretty respectable all things considered. Plus a huge improvement from first run.
Yup, it's always great to see cars getting driven like they were met to be! It would have been nice for the older-guy driving the older-GT40 to make a few comments.
Herbert Von Karajan wasn't a composer he was a conductor...and he didn't compose 2001 Space Odyssey he conducted the orchestra for the recording...it was composed by Richard Strauss in 1896 and is called "also sprach zarathustra."
I heard the real reason they didn’t call the 2005 version gt40 was because they didn’t actually own the GT40 name and didn’t want to pay to use the name.
Yep! That was B.S. the reason they didn't call it the GT40 is that Ford lost the rights to the GT40 name. A GT40 parts specialty dealer now owns it and Ford didn't agree to what the owner was asking.
Considering the height of the GT’s through their evolution ranges between as low as 38.5in (MkIV) and 40-42 inches, “40” just rolled off the tongue. The 2005 was 44in. If I’m not mistaken. Ford lost the rights to the name and attempted to buy them back from the current owner, I’m not mistaken was a kit car company. Ford could have purchased it, but the price tag was way too high, and so thusly opted to just go with GT
Ford was originally going to call the fusion the futura but they lost the rights to the name and it's owned by pep boys now and pep boys refused to sell in the name back. And that's why we have the Ford fusion instead of the Ford futura.
When Ford approached Safir to negotiate a licensing deal for the GT40 name on production variants, the company's opening request was reported to be $40 million, a fee that would have added another $9,900 to the production cost of each of the 4,038 Ford GT's built. Perhaps sensing the two companies were continents apart in pricing and terms, Ford reverted to the original name of the car instead of returning to the negotiating table. Ford closed the book on that chapter in its automotive history, and, surprisingly, failed to trademark the GT40 name. In 1985, Safir Engineering, a company that had been building replica GT40s since 1981, trademarked the GT40 name to distinguish its own products from other replicas on the market. When Safir Engineering was closed in 1999, naming rights were transferred to Safir GT40 Spares, Limited, a company that sells replacement parts for original GT40 models

So great to see that beautiful GT40 being driven like that. You could hear just how happy it was to be driven and running through the gears. It wanted to go more and more. You could almost hear it screaming "Yeeeeeaaaaaaahhhh! Let's go!".
The GT40 was never known for “extremely lightweight”. It was in fact heavy in its class, and subsequently needed the 7.0L 427 to be truly competitive when allowed.
Back in 2004 the Ford guys were testing the new GT at Milan Dragway they were trying to see what parts would fail under extreme punishment, they did not break any parts that we seen but did manage to run some 11 second 1/4 mile passes. We also watched them test a V10 Mustang prototype which was spinning the tires through the whole 1/4 mile, it was hanging with the GT pretty well.
It bothers me he said gt40 means only 40 inches off the ground, when he should have said it’s only 40 inches in overall height. 40 inches off the ground would be 3 times the ground clearance of a Jeep Wrangler….
This is amazing! The museum is a dream vacation for me! I actually been watching the full museum tour you did. I've now watched so many time I almost have the tour memorized! Thank you so much for doing these. Wish I could contribute more then admiration!
Amazing it's a clear indication of how much automotive technology has come. I thought the GT40 would have had this in the bag or at least held off it's son, but alas,there is the strength of of youth.
Jesus, props to you guys for dusting the old gt40 off and giving it some exercise, and to think this is the second car that I know of that has ties to a famous music composer, giorgio moroder, who made that cistema V16 which then turned into the lamborghini diablo, and it makes sense as this OG sounds way better than the new one.
Ok.. now that we have seen this comparison of the street GT-40 against the Ford GT (pretty cool but predictable) lets see what the GT40 can do side by side against the actual 427 side oiler GT40 and lets see if it can still hold its own when the ponies are more comparable!

It is kind of crazy that Doug’s old Kia Stinger is probably faster in the 1/4 mile than the Ford GT when it doesn’t get traction. AWD is so much more reliable for acceleration.
The reason that Ford didn’t use the GT40 name again is that someone else now owns the name and they couldn’t buy the name back. Not the reason stated in the video.
Why would they call it a gt 40 when it's no longer 40" from the ground? I don't think anyone owns any rights to any number above and below 40. They could have called it the gt 43 if they wanted.
Just to clarify, Karajan was a conductor not a composer... and the most famous music used in 2001 A Space Odyssey was Also Sprach Zarathustra composed by Richard Strauss. However I know nothing about engines :-)
3:33 Doug seem like giant among those cars. You can imagine how small GT/GT40 are compared to modern vehicles, especially SUVs, behind which Doug is almost non visible.
The 2005 GT makes up for its 1,000 lb. of excess over the 1967 GT40 by pumping out a healthy 550 hp vs 306 in the GT40. A more equal race would have been the 1966 GT40 MK ll with the 475-500 hp 427 engine. Doesn't really matter though, they are both historical and wonderful machines!
Okay those numbers are respectable and I still cant fathom how our Porsche Macan GTS can do 0-60 in 4.4 and the 1/4 in the 12.80 to 13 flat range its insane. People take the fact that 15 down the quarter was very very fast.

The reason that Ford didn’t use the GT40 name again is that someone else now owns the name and they couldn’t buy the name back. Not the reason stated in the video.
Why would they call it a gt 40 when it's no longer 40" from the ground? I don't think anyone owns any rights to any number above and below 40. They could have called it the gt 43 if they wanted.
GT40 was not originally a official name anyway.
My brother always mocked me for using that car in Need for Speed
"Does that car ever stop accelerating?"
Doug the type of guy to drag race a GT40 MK-III with two t-shirts
Can't believe the GT40 is from 1967 its design is so modern
Dougs Ford GT is a 12 second car. Pretty crazy that a modern F150 all stock but with a tune can also get you into the 12s...
Doug is the kind of person that wears a full-face helmet riding a bicycle
It's ok to say guy... not illegal yet.
I love hearing Dougs voice, so relaxing and calming.
Just to clarify, Karajan was a conductor not a composer... and the most famous music used in 2001 A Space Odyssey was Also Sprach Zarathustra composed by Richard Strauss. However I know nothing about engines :-)
the GT40 sounds insane!
Doug should be a host on the American version of Top Gear!
THAT GT40, the one in the video, had recorded 0-60 time of 5.2 seconds, according to Road & Track magazine.
3:33 Doug seem like giant among those cars. You can imagine how small GT/GT40 are compared to modern vehicles, especially SUVs, behind which Doug is almost non visible.
You should put in metric system too
The 2005 GT makes up for its 1,000 lb. of excess over the 1967 GT40 by pumping out a healthy 550 hp vs 306 in the GT40. A more equal race would have been the 1966 GT40 MK ll with the 475-500 hp 427 engine. Doesn't really matter though, they are both historical and wonderful machines!
Next on Doug DeMuro... Watch Doug beat up a senior citizen!
An addition to your ‘fun fact’ is that apparently the reason the car is only 40” high is so that it could slip under the fog layer at Le Mans.
Unbelievable that we have advanced to the point that a production vehicle can beat a race set-up car
Okay those numbers are respectable and I still cant fathom how our Porsche Macan GTS can do 0-60 in 4.4 and the 1/4 in the 12.80 to 13 flat range its insane. People take the fact that 15 down the quarter was very very fast.
