No.
If anyone is up for wasting some time watching poor production and bad acting
I've been in and around a lot of big hp cars all my life. Never was a ride so brutal. Took a few tries to figure out how to get in and out of this thing and once you're buckled in to the slab of foam that's supposed to be a seat, it feels like you're in a coffin. Legit 1966 Ford GT 40 Mk II. I have a few launch videos.. it was ballistic. The sound from straight piped power plant ten inches from your head was sensory rich. Cornering, at any speed, was a perfectly predictable and dead flat. This thing was made to drive all out for 24 hours.. '66 was the first year Ford finally took Ferrari in LaMans. Historic year.
It's for sale if anyones is interested.
Maybe the most fun ride I have ever experienced...
My Mount Rushmore of cars but I’d never fit comfortably.
I’m 5’10” and 195…. I had to shoehorn into the passenger seat and dislocate my hips to get in the drivers seat
Worth every bit of effort
I’ve seen that the foot situation for the driver is also an issue.

Awesome car, I’ve never been in anything like it, I bet it's a blast. I'm a little confused though, you say it a legit '66 Ford GT40, but show a car with modern stuff and a build tag saying Superformance, LLC, who builds replicas. I assume it's a replica car built similar to the original. What engine is he running?
Indeed a Superformance replica.
That means it's ok to hammer on it. You shouldbuyinvest in it and go hammer on it yourself.
After all of these years in the old car world, I'm not sure if I have ever been around a real GT40 from the '60. I know I've only seen two true Cobras, both 427 cars and nowhere near as shiny as all the replicas driving around. I don't mind a replica as long as the owner isn't trying to pass it off as the real deal. A replica is probably more fun to own.
I thought I had the two holy grail cars under my belt. I was in the presence of (not in and certainly didn't drive) an original 427 Cobra. On the street, not at a show. With this GT 40 being a replica (damn good one) I have one less.That means it's ok to hammer on it. You shouldbuyinvest in it and go hammer on it yourself.

Not sure that I've ever seen one, either. That '69 was quite the catch!
I haven't seen one myself. But after seeing photos they fall in the same camp as C2 Corvettes , I love the coupe , but the convertibles are just OK.View attachment 528217View attachment 528218
I absolutely agree. The "fun factor" of driving a convertible or roadster is hard to deny, but there are definitely cars out there where the aesthetics suffer in the drop-top form. At least, that's how I see it. Stylistically speaking, I almost always prefer a fastback to a convertible.
Let's not ignore the practical aspects of a hardtop, like not having to replace the top, being generally leak free, and not cooking your bacon on those hot summer days.

Then there are the leaks. My dads Vette with aging top was something like this, and new tops on those cars aren't much better. I remember going through automated car washes and having to chase the machine around with a towel on the inside trying to block the spray. But on those hot summer days, that would have been a good way to cool down those seats.
