[quote=Tom Wells;1526313]If this is factual, it should make some interesting reading.

It does seem to support the GT40's later (but not much later) beating the 427 Cobra's time.

Enjoy!

Thanks Tom. Come to think of it - the chart shows the GT40's time being recorded in 1967 - it may well be possible that I read the article in the early/mid 1970's but the magazine could have been a few years old. He had stacks of car mags and we often spent hours reading and looking at the pics.

A big deal was made of the acceleration record and the unforgettable head-on shot of that deep yellow Gt40 rushing towards the camera in the lead image of the article might also have been on the front cover if my memory is correct.
