Who says you have to have a V8 to have a fast car.

Certainly not Toyota or BMW (among many manufacturers) ! How about only three cylinders! I remember when the Vega and Pinto were introduced and recall thinking as I chuckled to myself, "4 cylinders...never". Boy, was I wrong. I feel the same way about electric cars. It's not their time. Will I be right or wrong? Time will tell.

Heritage edition, eh… I remember seeing my first Ford GT {GT 40} at the beginning of summer 1967 on the Interstate highway going west about an hour or two out of St. Louis. I was about to doze off in the front passenger seat when I saw a car in the side mirror (Objects are closer than they appear…yada yada….) it was small and red and getting larger by the second. There were four of us… all geology majors heading to Colorado for a summer field camp. By the time I could yell to get the attention of the ther three guys including the. Unsuspecting driver we were being passed and about to become a memory to the driver of the awesome street version of the iconi Ford GT. I had only just seen a picture of one a couple of days before and admittedly the picture didn’t take your breath away like the close encounter with this low flying UF-ORD did. This newer one is even more beautiful and sophisticated than the 50+ year old one, and I’d love to own one even if I had to hire someone to pull my decrepit old butt out of the seat.

I was fortunate to work for Furd Aerospace in the mid to lte 1980’s when the fabricators of comm satellite nose cones struck a deal with Ford Motor and Jack Roush Racing to build a carbon fiber cockpit for the circa 1986-‘88 Ford GTP car that was campaigned by Klaus Ludwig; Tom Gloy; Pete Halsmer; and Lyn St. James. Check out the 1986 Riverside GTP race when Lyn walked away from a fiery crash with minor injuries when the carbon fiber tub did what it was designed to do… she’s still one of my heroes to this day!!!
