The original Ford GT's closest competitor at Le Mans, of course, (besides the Ferraris) was Jim Hall and his famous Chevy Chaparral 2F. It will be interesting to see if Chevy also returns....lately, they have been most tied up in NASCAR.

They need to destroy Ferrari . That's what the GT is all about . It's what the car was originally created to do more than half a century ago

Re-watched the trailer. At 1:42 the GT disturbs a prancing horse

Shots fired Ferrari.

Nice car, now they need to figure out how to produce them and sell at the cost of a Taurus, they would then out sell any car there is or was.
