Okay, I need to stop posting Carrera GT videos. I guess I’m just obsessed with the sound of a V10.

And just for the hell of it, here’s a Gemballa Mirage GT doing a burnout:

Here’s a battle I’ve been waiting to see for a while, especially with all the hype around the new ‘Skyline’ - Nissan’s R35 GT-R vs. Porsche’s 911 Turbo. If you skip this one, at least watch the first minute or so of Part 2 — it includes a great smokey burnout and drifting in an M3.

Ferrari F40 Tribute

Of all the cars that have inspired me over the years, the F40 has perhaps been my greatest motivation to wake up in the morning and start working. What’s so great about the F40? What makes it stand out as such an impressive vehicle, some twenty-years after it was originally released, despite seeing so many incredible cars in the time including the McLaren F1, Bugatti Veyron, and Enzo?

Forgotten Fords: Mustang Super Stallion & GT90

Remember these cars? I remember hearing so much about the Super Stallion years ago. It had carbon fiber body parts, 8-piston calipers, and it actually handled very well considering its chassis. Perhaps the coolest thing about it was that its supercharged 4-cam 5.4 V8 that ran on ethanol and put out almost 600 horsepower — all in 1998.

There’s more info about this mythical Mustang here.

The other Ford I remember hearing about but never saw in action (except video games) was the GT90, a concept car that never made it into mainstream America. Apparently the car handled like crap, but it was still a very interesting one, with a V12 making around 700 HP:

There are more pictures and info of this interesting forgotten Ford here.
