Done track time in a GT40, sat in a McLaren...interesting seating
position.

GT40? Wowza!
I also sat in that center seat. Great concept. I'm surprised no one else has
tried it at a lower end.

Time was when Euro's and Americans had similar narrow winding roads.
Euro's optimized their cars to suit these roads, resulting in nimble
handling and braking. Americans fixed the roads instead then built cars
to suit them, cars that emphasize comfort over nimbleness. And as a
result of that trend, from WW2 on, most US firstborn were concieved in a
car. Were it not for those enormous wallowing boats, many of you would
never have been born!

When asked about Shelby's Cobras beating his sport cars Ferrari said
that he hadn't noticed because world-class racing emphasized GT Cars,
and Americans couldn't make a winning GT car. Within a year, his best
GTs were slipstreaming Ford GT-40s, trying unsuccessfully to keep up.
Sure, GT-40s were half Brit but I'll bet few of you ever heard of the
1700 Lb gull wing Stingrays Chevy's Duntov built but GM crushed to avoid
offending the insurance industry. I watched one of them not just beat
but lap Porsche's fastest 6-banger open GT. But that's not the real
world. When it comes to crossing Texas on I-10 or sex behind the Baptist
