That's fairly common in Racing. You don't need the 1st Gear once you're going, and this Shift Pattern keeps the 2nd and 3rd Gear in Line so you can shift faster between them. In normal Gearbox, shifting from 2nd to 3rd and 4th to 5th takes slightly longer than from 3rd to 4th. Here, it's the opposite. You have two fast and only one slow Gear Change. Top Gear actually used this for a Joke in the Berlin Cheap Car Challenge, where James May argued that his Mercedes had a "proper Racing Background" because of such a Gearbox, although it only made him crash into the Car behind him as he shifted into Reverse instead of 1st Gear. The Fact that that always was Richard Hammond shows how this was all an intentional Joke; Richard Hammond rear-ending James May was a Running Gag on that Show.
Shift pattern on my F-100 is like that. Converted it from column shift to floor shift. I actually like it like that. You don't even think about it once you're used to it.

Rev gauge takes centre stage. Officer: do you know how fast you were going there sir !! Ehhhh.. *maths face* 6k RPM in 3rd gear, but I did notice the bushes to my left were a bit blurry sooooo ??? .....25ish? *flutters eyelids*
Jesus christ at all the mouth breathers saying "78 isn't a cold start...try negative 132 durr hurr hurr" cold start doesn't literally mean freezing cold conditions. It's starting the engine at non operating temperature and bringing it up.
Cold start! You should hear my 1991 vw start in the middle of January in upstate Ny. It’s even colder when your jacket bunches up and your bare ass touches the pleather seats
If you're trying to steal a car, how much time are you willing to devote to figuring out what a particular toggle position does? And, how many will even look for, or notice, the battery cutoff switch?
@@z28cp - Professionals would figure it out in seconds and they will definitely target this car. If it were mine I would have hidden the battery shut off a little better.
Nice to see a car with VDO gauges. I think sometimes , and i know they are good quality, people think autometer is the only kid on the block...just sayin...
She's a beauty an She sounds as Good as she LOOKS 👀🤙🤙 an the video was great btw Next time If you could start it up like ten seconds less .It will make the video even more great but it's just a idea either way I will watch it and love it and like it and share it..This video is the reason I subscribed to ur channel 😁 so I'll see you at the next upload
Cold start just implies the first start after sitting long enough to come back to ambient temp. It has nothing to do with the actual temp where the vehicle is parked.
Thank you, not a kit but a modern recreation built by CAV with liberties like larger interior space, full stainless chassis. Using same exterior dimensions and styling, same gearbox but with motor options. Fun ride!
The only thing I really didn’t care for here is when the video ended. C’mon Bob… just one more minute. I’m sure the video doesn’t do her sound much justice like it would if one was sitting where you are, but it does hit a nice lick when it’s cold idling. Helps you get excited. I bet she accelerates hard and quick but linear enough to give a nice initial zing to the chest before you get acclimated to the motion. Good times.
Someone broke into and attempted to steal my little '72 Mercury Capri in 1978. The one thing that thwarted the thief or thieves was a very tiny ball bearing had fallen down inside the steering column which would not permit it to turn freely. I put together an elaborate array of toggle switches that had to be set in the correct position in order for the push button to be energized thus allowing the starter to turn the engine over. I wrote down the switch positions as I wired everything and then kept the list as a reference for several days until I memorized the proper sequence. Later I installed a manual fuel cut-off valve just under the passenger seat.
Not certain about a GT40 but my Vette has side rails like that. To get in I sit on the side rail, work my legs into the car, then scootch my butt over into the seat. Getting out is legs out, scootch to rail, and stand up. Fairly effortless with practice. In love with your car! Bet it would smoke my chevy like passing a grannie in a wheelchair.
You are on target, I have a modified C4 ZR1and it is raw and in your face if you want but the GT40 is that way all the time and much lighter in weight.
I could have the worst looking car outside and a performance of a bicycle but if it had a cockpit like this and made the same exact sound I would still have won life/
Wait, did this GT40 really just burn through 1/16th of the fuel just in literally 2.5 minutes of this video? I don't know if that's just a quirk of the gauge or an actual drop in fuel, but that thing was racing down
