I'm super stoked about seeing this one. I'll wait 'till we can watch it at home, but man I am excited.

Carroll Shelby - The Lost Interview | Ford v Ferrari | Le Mans | GT40 | Complete Life History |
|
I saw a trailer a long time ago.
I hope it's not too phony, I’d like to see an honest portrayal of the egos, and the cars. |
|
The GT ate Ferraris lunch and shat on their living room floor.
God bless Carol Shelby. |
|
Naw. My doofus friend who did the second unit won’t shut the fuck up about it, so I told him I’m not seeing it.
|
|
I’ll be watching. Have seen a couple of the interviews with Damon and Leno and one with most the cast. They give the impression that it’s going to be a pretty true to form AND entertaining flick.
|
|
If it’s anything close to being as good as Rush I’ll give it a watch.
|
|
Yeah I thought it looked good. I was just watching Fastest Car on Netflix tonight and they talked about the GT kicking ass back then.
|
|
I’ll be seeing it this weekend with my dad. We’re Shelby fans.
|
|
Wife and I have tix to see it on Friday. Hope it is as good as it looks.
|
|
I'll probably wait for blu-ray, but I'm looking forward to it.

It is a great story, but something tells me Hollywood will fuck it up. From the trailers who ever plays Carroll Shelby just does not project the presence that Shelby had.

I have my IMAX ticket for Friday already reserved. Can't wait.

Sounds like it will be picketed by the SJW crowd for lack of a gay single parent trans-woman advocating for a climate change friendly carbon neutral sustainable living technology solution while trying to break through the racial, sexual, and class barriers of the affluent white euro-centric toxic male hegemony of professional auto racing, all while raising an adorable adopted Autistic child of opium addicted parents with gender confusion issues.
Sounds about right for our media Lords & Masters... Or it could be about a couple of American hands-on guys who said, "Fnck It! Let's take on the Best and Beat them..." |

ZFG.
Not a car guy. Could care less. But yay Hollywood for doing something that isn't a chick flick, scifi or action/guns. |

Director James Mangold follows the master filmmaker rule book as much as possible.
Character development, human drama and use analog action instead of CGI bullshit. In the trailer where the red Ferrari is sailing through the air is for real. A heavy track vehicle using a large launch tube propels that chassis through the air 100's of feet!!! At the end of its trajectory, crashing to the ground, it actually collided with the chase camera car. Hobbit sized Damon as +6' tall Shelby is a stretch but the film is so strong I got over it. There is no doubt in my mind that Christian Bale will get a Oscar nod for his portrayal of Ken Miles. |

Local car club is doing a car show/ pre party type thing on opening day. I know a few locals have Ferarris and Ford GTs but I rarely see either at the local car shows. I'm thinking of offering my left nut on trade for a FGT, see if i get any takers.

It’s hard to go watch movies knowing the actors and they everyone making the movie are so anti American.

View Quote It's Hollywood, and having lived my early years while it was all going on, then looking back restrospectively with a lot more information, I'm afraid they are going to eff it up some. But it can't be as stupid as Burns doing Vietnam, so, meh. When it comes around. The story is a great framework to tell of the immense technical advances of the 60's - GT and Indy were the dominant forms of racing, with Ferrari making small high rpm motors in luxury sports cars dominant on their turf, and Indy being largely supercharged Offy four cylinder and FRONT WHEEL DRIVE racers, driver sitting almost on the back axle. From there we went to Ferrari motors in open wheel mid engines and the GT's to 427 TRUCK motors midengine. Shelby and the Cobras were a major step up, an exciting story, but a step to getting Carroll to running the GT program. In point of fact, it took the Daytona Coupe to get there, and in testing the GT's at Rheims they used the coupe from LA as the rabbit to stress them out. And they ran it without major repairs while the GT's broke down - normal sorting out, Shelby's first races in the Cobras had plenty of it. By the time the Coupe was bodied the drivetrain had years of racing in it, so when it fired up, it was ready to run with little issues. Other than the back inboard discs. That was part of a major fire at Daytona. Sorting the GT's at Rheims led to the Italians contracted to body the other Coupes to be delayed, they took off building the first sans any blueprints and the result was the second being kinda larger, which Dan Gurney got as he fit it better. His USAC crew having talent in depth made it a winner even tho the aero was slighty diminished. That season as the hand drawn hand hammered Coupe on the old 50s transverse spring front end winning against Ferrari with just the advantage of another 1,000 cc's of engine - not even overhead cam - is the turning point from old school tech to the new school rapidly coming to the field. The 427 GT's were actually the last dying gasp of conventional motors being capable of winning a Championship. We are talking a truck motor run on a dyno simulating 24 hours of LeMans, breaking, getting improved parts, until it could survive, mostly, under real racing loads. Up to then a computer aided dyno run in testing, and the cad cam GT chassis and aero were unknown. Mixed blessings if you consider it. The modern car now has tech that designers were only dreaming about. The wife's Buick is direct injection with variable cam timing. They made a turbo version. Nothing like that existed in the 60's. |

I watched the trailer this morning and it piqued my interest. Looks pretty darn good.

I’ve read that they took some liberty with the real story and people, but it should still be good.
|

Carolla says it's good and he did the doc so I will see it. He also had Damon and Bale on the podcast, good show.

Shelby CSX owner checking in. I'm a huge fan of his work with Chrysler and have too many cars with his name on them somewhere. I never see movies in the theater, and I might actually go out to see this.

Yes!! We have a recliner/dinner theater that we go to all the time.
