    Who’s ready for a Ford GT generation drag race!
    We’ve got our hands on an original Ford GT 40 from 1967, a second-generation GT from 2006, and a third-generation from 2017!
    So let’s see how the three compare. Starting with the GT 40, it comes equipped with a 4.7-litre naturally-aspirated V8 that can deliver 310hp and 450Nm of torque. This power is sent to the rear wheels only via a 5-speed manual gearbox, and it tips the scales at 1,230kg. Back when it was first released it cost $18,500, but if you’re looking to buy one today it’ll easily set you back $2,500,000!
    Then we have the Mk2. It’s packing a 5.4-litre supercharged V8 that puts down 560hp and 680Nm. All the power it sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual, and it weighs in at 1,520kg. It cost £110,000, but now it costs around £500,000.
    Then finally we have the latest GT. It’s powered by a 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 that can put down 650hp and 750Nm. It’s the only car here with an automatic gearbox, with all this power sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed dual clutch. It tips the scales at 1,485kg, and while it cost £440,000 when it was first released, it’s now valued at around £1,000,000.
    So will it be a walkover for the all-new GT, or could one of the older ones get a shock win? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!
    Thanks to @PetersenMuseum for setting up this drag race!

    All of these cars are timeless classics, however the 2006 GT holds a dear place in my heart.
    I worked with Roush during its development as was able to "ride-along" for some of the diagnostics testing my company was contracted for.
    I remember the 1st to 2nd shift happening at almost 70 mph accompanied with the large rear tires breaking loose as second gear wound its way towards almost 100 mph.
    All of this taking place on the I-94 Freeway which ran through Allen Park and Dearborn!

    Peter Brock is also a driver who drove GT40.
    Mario Andretti was one of the people who helped with so called ''SCARIER'' version of GT40 (mark IV if i am not mistaken)
    I loved the history of Ford GT. Just pure American Muscle with British Twist (Courtesy to Caroll Shelby & Shelby American) to it. Dominated the lanes for FOUR YEARS before Porsche took control of 24 HRS of Le Mans. So legendary.

    The 2017 GT is the most advanced and obvously fastest, but I think the 2007 one captured the spirit of the GT40 the best. Both in looks and in concept. Manual transmission, big supercharged V8, proper old school supercar. Probably the most fun to drive (save the original GT40 probably but that's priceless...)
