Ford v Ferrari | New Movie / Trailer \ With Matt Damon & Christian Bale
- Thread starter NorthStar
- Start date
Now that’s a movie I want to see.
Back in high school Rosd and Track magazine had a article about Ford’s assault on Ferrari, a fascinating article. Ford’s GT40 was just a beautiful car. Made me a Shelby fan ever since. Although a Ferrari is in my future.
Finally, Steve, a movie I agree with you looks like a must see! And even if it turns out not to be a great movie, it certainly looks like a fun movie.
I had a replica Shelby Cobra 427SC (430hp pulling 2,600 pounds; no mufflers; no catalytic converters; registered and fully-legal thanks to the mercy of a car nut buried deep in the New York State DMV in Albany, NY).
Well, I really hope the Ford and Ferrari are compared exactly alike. Same tyres, fuel, roads etc.
Are we "taken to the racetrack"?
Or is "the racetrack brought to us"?
I absolutely will not draw any conclusion as to which is better.

I've watched many historical archives on these races, the teams and the companies, much more interesting that the BS hollywood version in that trailer. All the typical cliche's, the fake genius, the fake bad boy and the fake fat suit, yawwwwwwwwwn!

It's an 180 gram reissue David. Not as good as the original but sometimes better than nothing...
. But in this case the original archives are available online and you don't have to see Damon or Bale's poor rendition of real world cool guys.

if anyone wants to know the feeling of driving at LeMans they need to get into your car and have you drive them along the backroads of Utah. I will never forget my visit to you several years ago when you took me to Bryce Canyon . All I remember is taking curves at speeds between 105-110 mph. I thought that was my last day on earth. While I was hyperventilating and praying in the front I recall your wife and daughters in the back seat happily carrying on a conversation like it was no big deal and they were used to it

LOL, they were born to it! You should have driven around with me in Bangkok, those were the rally and obstacle course days.

I aged 20 years in that 2 hour drive. I saw my life flashing through my mind
When I first moved to Nevada...there were no speed limits. A friend of mine owned a original Shelby GT350H Hertz w/a Paxton super charger. Many a day we took the car out on highway 50 and the Pyramid highway doing 150+ mph. The car handled surprising well. There were many unofficial races or hot laps where the NHP looked the other way. I miss those times and of course Nevada has grown...it was exciting.
