Nice fantasy, but I doubt that's a real 250GTO.
Anyone on here ever seen a real 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO. I caught a couple at Monterrey (CA) a few years ago. Beautiful cars. One was on the track at Laguna-Seca and I guarantee that the car would easily outrun a RZR.
While this was a fun video, and it might be fun to race the RZR against all kinds of fantasy cars, the reality is that this is NOT a Ferrari 250 GTO. First off, the 250 GTO was powered by a 3-litre Colombo V12, which produced 300 horsepower at 7000 RPM. So, a true race would have put the car into the 6k to 8k revving range right away; otherwise the great power-weight ration of the car would never be fully used. Give me a video with a GTO hitting that powerband and then it will be a real test.
Then again, since the 250GTOs are rare as hen's teeth (there were only 36 ever built), so I'm wondering what owner could afford a multi-million dollar car just to race it in a field against a RZR.
