Ford Mark IV Race Car '67

Ford Mark IV Race Car '67 On my facebook page I do contest to give away things from time to time. This time around I gave away a car/tune for whatever the winner chooses. The winner, Eric Bellwood decided he wanted the Ford Mark IV race car and was nice enough to allow everyone to enjoy the tune as well. Of course he chooses the most expensive car lol. I had already purchased this car a long time ago and it sat in my garage with 0 miles on it. I was using it like a show piece of my collection. Wasn't ever planning on driving it, but winner chooses anything so it was time to finally hit the track. I have driven the 20 million dollar Ferrari and it's insane and I was expecting this to be similar. I could not have been more wrong. This car is like a cloud driving across the heavens. It brakes perfectly, it turns perfectly, it accelerates perfectly. Absolutely blown away by it. Nothing is better than having a car this stunning to look at and having it drive just as well. Even the engine has this little rumble to it which makes driving it even more enjoyable. It wouldn't seem like it's that great since the specs are just ok, but it flys faster than the wind. I land times similar to my GTR black edition which is super impressive for a car that is almost 50 years old. It is impossible to lose control in this car. The only time I ever come close is ironically in 1st gear. That high RPM turbo in 1st with too much gas may spin the tires. It's almost like a little joke the car is playing with you just so you don't forget how powerful it is.


P.S. the pics are by NBDESIGNZ. Literally every pic he has will blow your mind.

Here is a mini cinematic movie I made to go with the tune entitled "The Burg"
