What was cool was the older Ford GT40 could hit 93 MPH in 1st gear alone.
No wonder they would win in the quarter mile when they were not racing in Le Mans.
You learn something new everyday. I never knew that, of course back then 1st gears were much taller than they are today so that isn't too surprising. Back then they were about as tall as second or third gear in most 6-speeds, weren't they?
