Default 4.0 in its natural habitat

Start of the season in Monticello Motor Club and Sunday was a perfect day for 4.0 to stretch its legs after winter hibernation. A lot has been said about this car's raw power, but to experience it on a track is something else. There were just three members on Sunday so during few sessions I had the whole track to myself and could really focus on bonding with the car without paying attention to other cars on the track. Unbelievable experience.

I'm not a fan of red but that interior is spot on. I can only imagine what it would be like to drive a 4.0, on a track, alone.

Kudos to you.

Great looking car. I haven't tracked mine for years. Need to take it out on track this summer. Sounds like you found the perfect day for it.

It was a perfect day. Wish I could take off the helmet so I can hear the engine screaming.

BRAVO to all the guys driving their 4.0s, especially tracking it.

Black 4.0 I drove is still one of the top three cars I've ever driven. So special and so amazing. Love to see them driven and enjoyed vs. bubble wrapped. My hat is off to you.
