New = GT
Old = GT40.

The light blue = a VERY sexy, european GT40, its RHD, and its fucking quick, tried to chase it down, no luck but damn did it sound good

yah please don't call it a gt40 . its a ford gt . no 40 . for those of us who really love both cars, there are extreme differences of the two . the 40 means many other things, not that either is better IMO . they both are amazing .

That's what it's called on the build sheet, but that colour scheme is a direct copy of the Gulf racing colours that graced the original GT40 LeMans racers. Hence how many people refer to it as Gulf livery.

Yes, please call it a GT. The GT40 was so named because it was 40 inches high. This one is 43 inches tall, I belive. GT43?

Nice spot! I saw that one bombing around where I live (Kensington) a little while back.

I believe there's still one sitting in the Advantage Ford showroom. When you buy the gulf colored GT you get to pick the number you want on the door :bigpimp:

Was still there last week :drool:

My wife's uncles best friend (i know sounds fake, but it's truth) bought one, the guys worth a retarded amount of money ($250mill or so), he bought her uncle an `03 Z8 and gave him living rights to his 5 acres of land and 10,000 sq.ft house on Salt Spring island.

Haven't met him yet, but I want to, apparantly he keeps his GT in Calgary, so it may have been his you saw.

They've been friends since before his made his multimillions, and her uncle was his lawyer too.

He bought two at the same time (z8's) one for him, and one for her uncle... rich fawker... I know he bought a plane recently too, I want to meet the guy so I can hit him up for a job as his Aircraft Mechanic.

Saw one of those driving on Canada Way in burnaby last week. I had to floor it just to get close to it, it was going 100 + in a 50 zone and I had to go even faster just to catch up haha, luckily it stopped at a light so I got a closer look. Such a beautiful car, sounded amazing! Female driver too, she was almost as nice to look at as the car (almost haha).

btw, do you know if his aircraft is self managed? or being managed by a aircraft maintenance company?

I'm sure an AMO is taking care of it, probably out of Victoria since his main residence is on SaltSpring, but it would never hurt to ask if he wanted a private A.M.E., if I ever met him, lol. :D

Kinda the same subject, but not really.. Last race I was at in Martin, MI there were a couple Ford GT's as well as the opportunity to get up close and personal with a couple GT500's.. Hot..
