What a cool story !  What a hot little car. 165 on the straights , Wow ?  That would be a cool model project if a kit and decals were available.

Yeah, 165 on the straights, 155 average the entire race and led from beginning to end. Car won 2 laps ahead of the first Corvette, 8 laps ahead of Ferrari and to top it off, Mercedes bought the car just to see what was in it!

Who says American muscle can't compete! Top this off with Ford annihilating Ferrari at LeMans in 66 to take that smug look off of Enzo's face.

No wonder he was going broke at the time.

I’ve never really been into racing, but that video brought a smile to my face!?

Really (REALLY!) dating myself but seeing the title I thought of the Car and Driver article comparing the Ferrari GTO and the Pontiac GTO.  Yes, I am that many years old.
