That's fairly common in Racing. You don't need the 1st Gear once you're going, and this Shift Pattern keeps the 2nd and 3rd Gear in Line so you can shift faster between them. In normal Gearbox, shifting from 2nd to 3rd and 4th to 5th takes slightly longer than from 3rd to 4th. Here, it's the opposite. You have two fast and only one slow Gear Change. Top Gear actually used this for a Joke in the Berlin Cheap Car Challenge, where James May argued that his Mercedes had a "proper Racing Background" because of such a Gearbox, although it only made him crash into the Car behind him as he shifted into Reverse instead of 1st Gear. The Fact that that always was Richard Hammond shows how this was all an intentional Joke; Richard Hammond rear-ending James May was a Running Gag on that Show.
Shift pattern on my F-100 is like that. Converted it from column shift to floor shift. I actually like it like that. You don't even think about it once you're used to it.
The only affordable car ive ever driven that gave me that same raw experience... and hang with me because you are gonna laugh at this... first generation miatas. They really are a no frills, no nonsense, no computer nanny car. Independent suspension, rear wheel drive with discs all around, can be had with a manual steering rack. Miata shifter notches in fast, but not too fast. Just fast enough to remind you shes an old girl who doesnt wanna be ridden too hard to fast. Ive driven many cars, many faster ones even. No car has ever replicated the raw, visceral experience of a first gen miata. For me, at least.
Someone broke into and attempted to steal my little '72 Mercury Capri in 1978. The one thing that thwarted the thief or thieves was a very tiny ball bearing had fallen down inside the steering column which would not permit it to turn freely. I put together an elaborate array of toggle switches that had to be set in the correct position in order for the push button to be energized thus allowing the starter to turn the engine over. I wrote down the switch positions as I wired everything and then kept the list as a reference for several days until I memorized the proper sequence. Later I installed a manual fuel cut-off valve just under the passenger seat.
Not certain about a GT40 but my Vette has side rails like that. To get in I sit on the side rail, work my legs into the car, then scootch my butt over into the seat. Getting out is legs out, scootch to rail, and stand up. Fairly effortless with practice. In love with your car! Bet it would smoke my chevy like passing a grannie in a wheelchair.
You are on target, I have a modified C4 ZR1and it is raw and in your face if you want but the GT40 is that way all the time and much lighter in weight.
@@Icutmetal its about holding your breath and watching the old girl struggle to life. Plus the sound a cold engine makes is unique, its raw in its own way. Its kinda like cheering for the underdog. You know its an uphill battle but you wanna see them win.

The only thing I really didn’t care for here is when the video ended. C’mon Bob… just one more minute. I’m sure the video doesn’t do her sound much justice like it would if one was sitting where you are, but it does hit a nice lick when it’s cold idling. Helps you get excited. I bet she accelerates hard and quick but linear enough to give a nice initial zing to the chest before you get acclimated to the motion. Good times.
I relocated my clutch interlock switch to a little change cubby below the left side of the steering wheel as a theft deterrent and I thought I was cool. Look at this guy.
Cars don't have enough toggle switches these days. When I start up my car, I want it to be like launching the space shuttle

@@Loulovesspeed They're kind of more faux toggle switches, but it's a pretty good substitute

Yes everything labeled nicely as most race are
is not like we can find one of these parked in the wild anyway
