2017 Ford GT - Jay Leno's Garage

Man, when he said we live in a society that tears things down instead of talking about the good was so accurate. Everyone wants to hate on something they didnt create or were involved in. This car is beautiful

Random fact but I saw him making this video on the highway, we passed him and he gave us a wave!

Jay’s reviews are so real and pure. I love that he calls out other reviews for talking crap about it for stuff that doesn’t matter like it’s too noisy etc.. that seems to be the trend of modern day car reviews - they point out faults where there is none. “This toaster is great and all, but it doesn’t make coffee!”

The AM radio option is what really sells this car.

Jay Leno's application probably just said "I'm Jay Leno"

I used to hate Leno, as I get older (I'm 26 now) I have grown to love him, his demeanor and enthusiasm, and his corny jokes. Really, he is everything you could want from someone with his age and experience, and very few car reviewers seem as genuine as him. His experiences are HIS experiences, and anecdotal as they are, they are exactly what the industry needs. keep it up Jay!

When Jay did his goodbye on "The Tonight Show" he impressed me the most when his reference to his legacy. He showed all the people who were part of the show and their families, especially the children and he also said, " I am leaving the dance with the same girl I came with" or something to that effect. It could be that he pays attention to little details, like " if your going to have a pantie in the trunk of the GT make sure it is your wife's or you will loose half the car", :) . But comedy aside, he is a thoughtful, down to earth, man who has a brilliant clarity of thought and love's America and is proud of what America has done and what she is capable of. I see him finding joy where you can get it, like the smile you see on his face when he is driving his Miata or his Ford GT, "That won Le Mans" shows me happiness comes from with in.

Jay- "This car is like champagne, I only drive it once a weekend, Its not a everyday car" Also Jay- "I put about 1000 miles on it in the first week"

I could listen to Jay talk about cars for hours... I likely already have.

Too bad many missed Jay's remark about (paraphrasing) that we live in an era where the focus is on tearing something down rather than appreciating the accomplishments.

Man, these vids where it's JUST Jay and a machine are my fave. No other people sucking up all the oxygen with their jabber; just Jay sharing his immense knowledge and passion.

I never thought Id wanna give ford a half million dollars, until I saw the GT. Stunning!

1,000 miles in a week in a $500k supercar? Jay is/continues to be my hero

I'm not a Ford guy but that car is the best designed and looking car I've seen.

Successful goals are like priceless treasures and require maximum attention to develop, which is called advice and pep talks and better opportunities for job opportunities and good work from the government.

I was never envious of someone like Jay, who can afford a squadron of collectible cars - and a huge garage where they can properly be stored. He's worked hard over the years his money and he should be able to spend it like he pleases. After all, he does have his own YouTube channel where he shares the cars with an admiring and approving public. Hats off to you, Jay!

he put 1,000 miles on it within 1 week without driving it every day? [gentlemanly applause]

Gotta love jay's reasoning. I got it in black and orange because.... I liked it in black and orange. Plain and simple.

The aero engineering behind that car will probably be my favorite until the day I die. Also it's "story". Ford did this out of left field for the 50th anniversary of winning LeMans "just to show them we still can". This car not only cuts through the air unbelievably good (notice it's main body is shaped no different than land speed record cars), it's design allows the car to gain exceptional speed in a draft. After it makes it's pass, it doesn't return the tow to the car now behind. This car functions more like trying to draft 3 motorcycles. It dumps a LOAD of the air it goes through directly behind it into the face of the car behind. It's truly brilliant. Another neat fact about it, it's foot print is as large as it gets because it was too slippery. They still needed to achieve some downforce so they made the surface area of the car bigger to allow the rake of the car to still have enough there to give it downforce. Race cars generate downforce two ways (from GT cars to prototypes). First are aero packages. Splitters, dive planes, gurneys, wings, etc. The next way is the rake of the car (nose height in relation to tail height). Edit just to add a little more: While they could have kept the smaller footprint and increased the rake even more, that's dangerous. Rake doesn't just affect downforce. It primarily affects weight balance on each axle. If you rake the hell out of a car, it will be exceptionally "twitchy". Too much weight forward will make for a very unstable car, especially under braking at turn in. It's all about balance.

Always a pleasure listening to Jay talk about the cars he owns and drives. It says a lot about a man who can afford to buy anything and doesn’t get the exhaust option because it literally doesn’t make logical sense to even purchase it. 🤙 Special shout out to Ken Miles and Carol Shelby for their brilliance in engineering and testing that help develop the GT we now see today.
