Doug DeMuro Drag Races Against Priceless Ford GT40 | Ford GT40 VS Ford GT

- Calling all @ford fans! In today's video, @DougDeMuro races his 2005 Ford GT, against the Petersen Museum's original 1967 Mark III GT40. This is the first in a series of drag races the museum is hosting to not only exercise its vehicles but really test the performance of these amazing machines.
Of the seven Ford GT40 Mark IIIs built, only four were delivered with left hand drive like this car. This rare street-legal example (serial MK3 1105) was originally owned by well-known Austrian conductor Herbert von Karajan, who drove it sparingly-and never in the rain. The Mark III differed from earlier versions in that it had round rather than oblong headlights, an extended rear deck with room for luggage, a less rigid suspension and a more comfortable interior. Powered by a 289-cubic-inch 306-horsepower Ford V8 engine coupled to a ZF 5-speed manual transmission, the low-slung car can accelerate from zero to 60 miles per hour in just 5.3 seconds. Top speed is approximately 165 miles per hour. The GT40 model designation was derived, in part, from its low height, which was a mere 40 inches from ground to roof.
The original mid-1960s Ford GT-40 was so well remembered that the company was inspired to introduce this updated version for the modern market more than 40 years later. Doug Demuro's 2005 GT supercar based on an in-house design exercise, the supercharged Ford GT combines the mid-engine configuration of its predecessor with modern performance, comfort, and safety features. Inexpensive compared to other mid-engine exotics like Ferrari and Lamborghini, Ford GT can accelerate from zero to 60 in just 3.3 seconds and reach a top speed of 205 miles per hour. Like retro-styled vehicles from other manufacturers, the GT showcases modern engineering in a package that calls to mind Ford’s rich history.

jesus that gt40 driver was going easy. I guess if you're drying a museum car worth 2 or 3 mill you aren't dropping the clutch but would be nice to go against a common superformance gt40 with a driver that looks like he wants to win

Is it Doug's RS2?
Ok I'll put my comments in. Put the newest gt in the 24hr LAMans then see who wins. It isn't all about a drag race

Would be nice to see the 2005 run against an original track spec car with the 427 in it. Then you'll have a real race on your hands 😉
I don't know if those things exist anymore, but if they do and they work and the numbers in Ford V Ferrari are accurate (I tried googling the specs but I find a lot of conflicting information in there), I'm putting my money on the GT40.
Superformance
Originally, every game I've ever played had this information, based on the 1966 Ford GT40 race car:
Layout: Mid-engine, RWD
Engine: 427 c.i.
Transmission: Standard 4-speed

Doug out of his natural habitat is so funny to observe
Now run the GT against the GT40 with the 427 and see what happens.....of course a 289 isn’t going to beat the GT
Exactly my thought
the GT40mk2 had a wery long 4sp gearing not wery suited for a dragrace but it would still go 0-63mph at ca4 secs. The 427R engine was not "485hp" like most belive, the 485hp was made at 6200rpms while the engine would make power up to it`s original shiftpoints at 7400rpm.

Agreed. They should do more videos with Doug.
Let alone continuing original gen vs. new gen! Think of the series... Anyone? Mopar alone, and Pony cars!

Yeah, Hoonigan does this, specifically, Ken Block and the gang, but now his daughter races the Hoonicorn against other power cars. At this very airstrip to be exact, this is not a new concept.

It’s really cool to see a GT40 Mk. III featured in a video. Usually it’s the Mk. I II and IV that are featured in YT videos, but never the Mk. III.

I'd love to see a track prepped race with the new gt40 vs. an real 427 race prepped Gt40. There was no way a little 289 was going to compete.
@@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.
Slight correction - Herbert von Karajan, the original owner of the car, was not the composer for 2001: A Space Odyssey, he was the conductor during the recording sessions.
Yup, there wasn’t a whole lot of original music composed for the film. Even the Ligeti music was recorded beforehand.
A composer he was not; but an absolute god of music he certainly was.
They also butchered the pronunciation of his name...
@@AndrewAMartin the way he said it made it quite obvious he was out of his depth here
@@Skydrag.V60 Actually, there was an entire score composed for the film, but Kubrick decided not to use it. He was using pre-existing music as a stand-in for the score during the editing process, and decided he liked the pre-existing music instead of the score.

What a fun video. Thanks for enabling these races! By the way, Doug makes that GT40 look like a Power Wheels. 😄
The sound from the GT40 might be my new favorite exhaust note...
Nothing quite like it!

Better than the LFA?
@@TheBetterPMC gt40 mkI with 289/4.7L makes 390 peak hp at 7,000 RPM and the MK IV with 427/7.0L makes 500 peak hp at 6500 RPM, the new ford GT makes 660 at 6250 RPM with 30 psi boost if using 93 octane fuel, or 345 hp with 10 psi boost on 87 octane
@@ProjectEurobeat Yes. The LFA just can't compare. Don't get me wrong, the LFA is a beautiful car, but the GT40 is a GT40.
I would think the 1 of 7 GT40 would be worth well north of $2.5M ?.
I think it’s because it’s a MK III which isn’t quite as iconic or beautiful (in my opinion) as a MK I or MK II
I thought the same
That may just be the most recent price at which one traded hands. Obviously the Petersen Museum will likely never be looking to sell their Ford GT and I doubt the other 6 owners would be easy to part from their cars. So you may very well have to offer significantly more than that to even tempt them to consider selling.
@michael payne Definitely agree Michael, with collectible items like this, especially in such limited quantity (only 7 of this example), it's really hard to determine the actual VALUE of the item until you actually try to sell it. It's easy to price a share of stock in a company because they are bought and sold every day. With something as limited as this the best estimate of VALUE would really only be the most recent sales price, otherwise you are just guessing and grasping at straws. That's the difference between VALUE and PRICE. PRICE is what some real person with the available cash is actually willing to pay for it, where as VALUE is just an estimate. Only a small percentage of people in this world have access to enough money to even consider buying this, and most of them don't care about cars, or old cars or Fords etc.... Something like this would either take a very very long time to sell, or would need to be offered for sale at a high-end auction. Thanks for responding Michael :)
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.
Slower or not I’ll take the original gt40, especially if the original had the 427 and not the 289.
Oh, hey. Hoonigan used this airfield for this vs that
Yeah, it's like a less obnoxious version of this vs that
@@thericher Yeah dude, this vs that is overhyped. Every episode is a lopsided win for one car.
@@boksugoks9312 that's the point
Boks Ugoks the last episode (the Porsche electric car vs the fastest C8) was actually super close
@@calebnation7797 But, the owner of the Taycan was such an asshole.
You can see how really tiny the original GT was when you see it next to the modern car. Also, very cool to see Doug racing his own car!
Glad you enjoyed!!
Now we just need the newest gt on here
Truly a very cool match up here! Thanks for sharing!
In two weeks, we’re gonna get- “hey, I’m Doug DeMuro, and today we’re gonna be looking at the quirks and features of this Ford gt40”
So cool! Thank you, Petersen Automotive Museum for making this drag race happen!
Thank you so much for watching! We have many more to come ;)
You are everywhere bro.
Another top comment on Up to Speed.
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.
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.
Yep. They initially want to name 2005 Ford GT as GT43, but they lost the GT40 trademark.
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
I'm sorry, how much does the origunal Ford Gt40 cost?
That 289 sounds sooooo good though. Heavy breathing small block n/a v8 carbed. Oh yes plez

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!".
that was awesome in every respect. Thank you Peterson!!!
Ummm I watched life of Palos today and he did not mention this awesomeness...
you guys need to bring in Brooks/DragTimes for this.....
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 love hearing Dougs voice, so relaxing and calming.
Doug’s the type of guy to run a 14.4 in a Ford GT.
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.
The height is 40” not “off the ground”
That was what I was going to say, no way it's more than 3 feet off the ground, more like 40cm
Those are both amazing cars! I really do like the shaping of the 67. It's a bit more pronounced in front. So cool!
I don't know how I hadn't heard of this before. I just found out about it because of Doug's video.
Ok, quarter mile times in the 14’s and 15’s is like what modern day mini van can do. Something ain’t right.
Its because doug is too scared to actually push it to the limit
Yeah I was expecting more performance from these cars as well
Now we need the new ford gt to race these two amazing cars
That's a great idea!
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.
I LOVE what P. A. M is doing! No magazine or influencer can compete with the volume of cars you have available to you. Get the right people in front of the camera and you guys will be a force to be reckoned!

Thank you Team Petersen and Doug for this! You don't often see a Mk. III in action, and it sounds SO FINE! Great choice! Looking forward very much to your next installment! Just occurred to me that this would make for a fantastic event; a day at the drags with The Petersen! Folks could bring their own cars along and join in; I'm sure if this had happened in this case you would have had a very healthy group of genuine original 60's era cars turn, up including Cobras, and other GT40s, as well as some Corvettes, and perhaps even some ex Le Mans Ferrari race cars; maybe even a 250LM, or a P3! (Some of your friends actually own examples of these cars; you could invite them along!) Now, THAT would be just so, SO COOL !!! 😀
This was so worth watching.
No replacement for displacement - and supercharged as well.
Amen!
Could the man in the GT40 be any less excited?? Also, I'm strongly suspicious he was purposely short shifting.
Dude seemed incredibly relaxed at any rate.
You mean he was being careful and not beating it like a rented mule?
@@mike93lx He didn't take it to redline. This is a race car in a drag race not a prius in a parking lot. People like you have built up carbon gunk in your engine because you don't go past 4,000 rpm and didn't want to "beat it like a rented mule and be careful".... whatever that means.

Quirk man thinks that gt40 had a chance
It's amazing how much better looking the GT40 is compared to the GT when you see them together. Both are great looking of course, but the curves on the GT40 are gorgeous.
I thought exactly the opposite- the GT sits much better from the front. The GT40 looks a bit ungainly.
From the side and 3/4 views, though, the GT40 is absolutely gorgeous.
I'm an enormous GT40 and 2005 GT fan. The Mk III always looked a bit odd to me. I think the 2005 GT is perhaps the most beautiful modern car.
MK I is clearly the most beautiful to me, and most people. I would say MK I, MK II, MK IV, 2005-6, MK III, and 2017+ in order of beauty
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.
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.
True, but 998 kg is still extremely lightweight.

Regardless of the years, GT40s engine sound is so amazing ❤
This is super cool
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.
