[DeTomaso] NPC - '60s Narrated GT-40 Lap of Le Mans

[Mike Thomas]

The beginning of the GT-40 video he also states that they were running at
"near" race speeds, and commented that during the race, the GT-40s were
clocked at 240 on the Mulsane.  Now I'd like to see a GT-40 at speed, though
I'm sure the 15 years newer Porsches would still dust it.

$$$$$$ I watched the GT40 and the Porsche 956 videos. I was skeptical that
the 956 was "much faster". I am not skeptical anymore. Those Hun cars were
faster than the lovely GT40s. Oh, well.

Warmest regards, Chuck Engles
