So...I was leaving work yesterday and on the way out I noticed a very nice car out front with a small crowd around it. I immediately went downstairs to check it out and low and behold it was none other that Craig Barrett (Intel CEO) getting out of a brand new Ford GT-40. It turns out that he was making a presentation and the Oracle convention and he used the car in the show and he was driving it back to Intel. This was the third prototype made and was absolutely amazing. Craig, and some Ford representatives, opened up the engine bay to show us the 500hp motor, aluminum spaceframe, and carbon fiber everything. I have to say, this is a very nice looking car.

To make it more interesting, Paul Otenille (Intel CFO), came out a bit later and the Ford people let him take it for a test drive around the block. As he makes it off the Intel property he was making a left hand turn and almost spun the back around as he mashed the gas. Talk about a car with way to much power driving on wet roads. It would have been quite amusing if he had wreck it though.

Check it out...
