ORIGINAL: AirborneCZ

No chance I would not drive the GT if I owned it, espcially if it was free.

The guy on that british show (wtf is the name? brain fart here) is like six foot two, and he fit in it according to him "very comfortably". The GT is acutally supposed to be a very refined car to acutally drive around. Everyone was suprised when it came out and it didn't feel like driving a 80's lambo (or hell, a 2000's lambo)

eh dont you think it was Clarkson and TopGear?


"didnt feel like driving Lambo"????? wtf???

GT 40 has its own heritage, I would expect from a Stang owner to know that ...btw number 40 defined inches of the original GT from the ground to the top of the car which made it difficult for tall people to fit it. New GT is higher.


I am surprised neither of the drives got killed. Stupid and irresponsible if you ask me. You do that stuff on an empty highway or on the track, not in heavy traffic. But yeah… this is coming from a guy that has footage of himself sitting next to a racecar driver doing a street race in a merc 32 SLK AMG compressor hitting the limiter at 160mph. (260kph) trough night time traffic. Lets just say you are allowed to do something stupid once in your life. But I can say I’ll never do that stuff again. That was scary as HELL, and dangerous.
Isnt this a street racing section?

Anway they were really playing with fire there. Several typical death.crash situations, when they follow holiday driver going in the left lane, then decide to overtake him from the right and he starts to move back into their line....

But what the hell is wrong with putting the speed to the limiter?? One thing: When it was happening to me, I solved it by pressing the button at the Diablo and limiter is gone )))


anyway, footage shows also how stupid "normal" drivers are. WTF is 60mph pickup doing in the very left lane??? I say: KEEP THE LEFT LANES CLEAR FOR FAST CARS.


You have never been blocked into the wrong lane at times? He wasnt there for long (well, we cant verify, but benefit of the doubt and all you know.)

yeah I know, but I meant the part where the ca,r that GT tries to overpass from left, is at the very same time starting to change it back to right....

I guess Im just getting old and not weaving much anymore
