Got a look from a GT40

title says it all, we were going opposite directions, we both stared at each other's cars as we passed... if it had lasted longer I would've given him a nod or something... anyhow, funny thing.

Got chased on the freeway by red one about a week ago, pretty interesting looking car. I notice something weaving in and out of lanes in my rear view, he caught up to me and nodded.

I'd trade my car for one

We may have one in our cruise in a few weeks!

Not being a smart ass.It was probably a Ford GT because a GT40 is totally different

The GT40 was the race car from the 60's wasn't it? The GT is the newer Ford sports car if I'm not mistaken.

It had to have been a Ford GT. A friend of mine has a 2005 GT and it's amazing. Riding around in it is like being a celebrity. People pulling up next to it always take pictures, any parking lot we go to it's an instant convertation starter, even sitting at stop lights people will just walk up and start talking. Don't get me started how many waitress/hostess he has gotten pics of with his car!

550 HP, 500 tq, 0-60: 3.3 seconds, top speed 205 mph, 11.2 sec 1/4 mile

I ask because I saw a red one going opposite direction of me on the highway as well. Maybe on the same day... come to think of it.
