Thanks for posting, Richard.

That is a video segment that's very well presented and articulated. A welcome change from the G-ASS Monkey type of dufus car TV people that are everywhere thee days.

You're most welcome. There are a lot of interesting automotive articles on that channel. Gives me something interesting to listen to when driving.

As for the new GT500, it is for performance. I attended a Ford media event with a Jim Owens, specifically with details on the 2020 GT500. Here is the copy of the article I wrote.

Excellent article. As he says, "there's nothing like a proper drive in a proper car with a proper gear box". Well said.
