Default New Ford GT40

Did anyone see the new Ford GT40 used as the pace car for the Champcar round at Toronto on the weekend? One tough looking machine. When it comes to style, the Yanks still have it.

Its a pitty they can't call it the gt40 as they sold the name a while ago but still what ever its called nice .
As for style and still having it not hard on this car concidering it still looks like the old but once its right it stays right I guess .The frame on these things looks unreal the best parts on these cars you will never realy see .
