"GT40"as in REAL GT40?!...One of the 107 produced between 1964-69...I'm sensitive about people's liberal usage of the Ferrari Killer "GT40"...Mark

Is it a real car? Well, yes. Is it an original GT40? Of course not. Would I thrash a $5+ million car? No, I wouldn't. Don't be too sensitive. I'm sensitive to people calling Ford GTs GT40s and I still manage to sleep at night. BTW, if it's left-hand drive, it is almost certainly NOT an original car.

The Group4 Pantera was also not "real". But the red Pantera was.

My sister in law managed to get some video of Will's, J.C.'s and my runs, as well as a few more photos. Thanks Deb!

Here is a shot of Will's car at rest with J.C.'s at the right, and a video of Will's top speed run (218 km per hour).

and the video link:
