    I’m the immortal words of Ferris Buller... “I highly recommend one if you have the means.” Awesome!

    The owner of that car deserves some sort of medal of honor for letting that snake do what snakes do best. Would certainly be a shame if it was totaled on the track, but it would be an honorable way to go.

    Several years ago one of the six lost control and got in a wreck.

    Meh, that'll buff out. Although I have often wondered what percentage of the original 6 are still original parts.

    I saw the original coupe at the Simeone museum a few months before the reunion. There was talk the car wasn’t going to make it, glad it did.
    I always wondered why they didn’t restore that one, until I saw it.

    I'd like to add this one to the mix:

    https://youtu.be/sbq7leepRGE?t=147

    One of my absolute favorites. Destroying Ferraris and dominating. $100 million worth of cars racing at the same time— driving like they stole-em. Rain, spin outs. Doesn't get much better for me.

    It really goes to show how the stories of the Daytona rubbing up against wins in the prototype class at Le Mans were true— it really outclassed anything else in GT.

    I have been to the Goodwood Revival 3 times including 2015 when all 6 Daytonas were there. There is nothing else in the world like the Revival. I would recommend it as top on a bucket list especially for vintage car lovers. Le Mans doesn't compare.

    I think he had the Ferrari fooled though, cause he thought he was going to make a right turn the whole time....

    JC,

    I've been to NOLA Motorsports many times and your short video is by far, at least for me, the best of all.
    That's where my friend Phil will be doing his best to teach me, his drag racing pal, to turn left and right.
    Thanks For Posting Your Very, Very Cool Video!

    Steve
