A pair of video links and a short blurb from Autoweek magazine--worth a look!

......and that was at 200 mph!!

Great find!

If you enjoyed this film, you may also want to read: "Go Like Hell, Ford, Ferrari, and Their Battle for Speed and Glory At Le Mans" by A. J. Baime.

I believe Mike would concur this is an excellent read - a great history of the two mfg. and the final results.

Thanks again, Mike!!!

Yes, I read it when it first came out. It was a real page-turner--it read more like a novel than a simple, dry description of events as one would customarily find. Highly recommended, especially for people who don't live and breathe this stuff. In other words, when your wife rolls her eyeballs and wonders what the fuss is all about, if she reads this book (which is breezy and light and easy to read--I read the thing cover-to-cover on a short flight), she will finally understand.

Or, at least come closer to understanding. :laugh:
