I bet it out accelerates the GT-40 and probably handles as well if not better.

Perhaps we're talking about different cars ? i've included a picture of the GT-40 MK-II .... hardly a "weird" looking car to me ? and as far as it being out accelerated by that vette ... Perhaps, because it was never ment as a drag car, but a production vette handling as well as a GT-40 ?... that car in 1966 dominated Datona then turned around and dominated Sebring then went to Europe to the Le Mans 24 hour race, which had been totally dominated by the Europeans since the beginning of time, and took 1st 2nd and for good measure 3rd. It was powered by a 427 which in its stock form was 425 HP and this was fords NASCAR 427 so i'm sure it was in excess of 500 HP ... that vette isn't worthy to keep this cars parking spot warm. IMHO
PS: the name came from the fact it was 40 inches tall (just slightly taller than your kitchen table ! )
