Old FORD GT40 VS. new FORD GT in pics

I recently went to a historical car race at Daytona and hand the chance to photograph some very cool cars. I'm not a Ford guy but there's something about the FORD GT40 that gets me going.

The GT40 was built by ford to compete against Ferrari in the 24 Hour of Le Mans and they were successful winning Le Mans four years in a row from 1966 to 1969. In 2004 FORD brought the GT40 back to life as it began delivery of the FORD GT.

While I was at Daytona I was able to watch several GT40s race around the track but I was surprized to see someone pull up in a new yellow GT. I think Ford did a pretty good job with this awesome race car that has such a rich history. Here are a few pics to compare the old and the new.
