    I've yet to see an Enzo in the flesh, much less with engine bay opened up like a prom date. I have seen a GT in such a state of undress, at a track day, and it was beautiful. Sinful. I wanted to shank the douchebag who got to drive it and take it from him.

    If I had a Ford GT, I wouldn't park it. I'd just drive it! But if I did park it, it would be protected.

    @skaycog was here: That device reminds me of the terrible smell you get when you open up some toy made in a "low-cost-country" with lower-cost plastic.. how it makes you want to retch a little when you let the air out of a beach ball, for example. That beautiful car enveloped by those VOC's .. makes me shudder .. how will they ever get the smell out of the car.

    Delicious.

    The original GT40's mission was a gigantic middle finger directed squarely at Ferrari. Here's to carrying on the family motto!

    Inspired from this film:

    There once was race en Francais
    During Summer, it was June (maybe May?)
    The girls wore big glasses
    and had tres belle asses
    And the men drove around all damned day.

    The Ford GT 40 was fast
    The Porsches weren't sure they would last
    The Ferraris had louvers
    to help with maneuvers
    but the officials were left all aghast

    Okay, my limmericks suck (it's late and I'm tired from getting ready for LeMons in two weeks), so I'll stop. But I thought this post deserved a stab at some special commentary. Very cool documentary; thanks for finding and posting.

    I love "There is Rolf Stommelen with his eye on the big prize" at around 8:30 in the first segment, while the camera closes in on a woman's quite shapely ass in tight white slacks. LOL!

    You saw at the beginning how Ickx saunters across the track and belts himself in? As he did that, in the scrum at the first turn there was a pileup, and one of the drivers in the wreck was in such a hurry he hadn't fastened his seat belt and died.

    @wkiernan: No, the guy who killed himself was an amateur who didn't belong in a 917 and proved it. The 1969 917 went out of its way to run off the road, and was guaranteed to break into eleventy-seven pieces when it did.

    The non seatbelt fastening was a tradition of running-start long distance racing, and one of the reasons that Le Mans went to the standing start in 1970.
