GT40 commercial
#1
gotta give some love to the GT40 commercial (i refuse to call it the "GT")

<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.fordvehicles.com/fordgt/...NT_VIDEO&bhcp=1">http://www.fordvehicles.com/fordgt/...NT_VIDEO&bhcp=1</a><!-- m -->

i think they hired Rhys Millen to drive it. definitely a badass car in every way.

Yeah the car is badass without a doubt. It was amusing to hear non car enthusiasts I was watching the game with say "Hey man, look at it slide all over the place, it doesn't handle very well" and so on.

the best part of the commercial is the fine print that says "clearly a professional driver on a closed course"....i just though it was ammusing that they felt they had to specify that

I made a few alcohol induced comments about their intelligence, or complete lack thereof.

Definitely brings some of the coolness back to Ford. Are they going to sell them here anytime soon?

sadly, this MAY beat out the Fiero for fastest american mid-engine production car. Reining king for 2 decades. Sad :wink:

Speaking of which, anyone see the most recent Grassroots Motorsports? Fieros RULE. 8) A guy on the Fiero list was trying to get them to do that article for about a year or so now, gathering pics and stories from fellow Fiero list enthusiasts. Unfortunatly, mine wasn't quite pretty enough.

I have a "making of" DVD for that commecial. Two great quotes:

Driver:"I was amazined, I was doing 140 on the straight and just getting into 4th gear"

Helicoptor Pilot:"I've filmed a lot of cars in a lot of commectials, and until the GT could keep up with all of them"
