Ford Falcon (1st Gen) by Aaron Kaufman/Gas Monkey Garage 1963

[88GTA]

I caught the episode of Fast N' Loud last night where Aaron Kaufman built and raced a custom 1963 Ford Falcon up Pike's Peak in under 13 minutes. The episode was about the car being run in the summer of 2014 but I found an image of the same car during the 2015 Hill Climb (notice the windshield banner which was required for the event):

I would love to drive this car in a future Gran Turismo game, especially if it included Pike's Peak.

👍👍👍

...Nice.

Slightly off topic, but I wonder if Pikes will make it into GT:S. I sure hope so.
