Even on fire this 1,000-horsepower twin-turbo Ford GT is kind of sexy. Just look at the outline in the flames. Despite the sadness we feel at seeing a GT burn to the ground, there's a bit of schadenfreude in it for you Ferrari enthusiasts out there.

The car is famous around Texas as one of two white-with-blue stripes twin-turbo Ford GTs running around the state. This car is the DP1000 Ford GT built by Dallas Performance and driven by a guy known as Kumar. Its doppelg?nger is the Hennessey HPE1000 twin-turbo GT.

Yea it's mine. I'm ok.

Saw smoke
reached for fire extinguisher
hear loud gunshot like sound, saw flames, felt heat on right side of my face
got the **** out
went from sitting at the red light to all out bonfire in ~30 seconds

I don't know the cause and don't care to speculate. It's just a car. **** happens. Surprisingly not in a terrible mood today. Will let attorney deal with how to proceed.

That's all I gotta say cause that's all I really know.

good night sweet prince

That's a shame. That is one of my favorite cars.

Well reading the posts in the Jalop article the owner seems to be taking it all in stride.

Guess he has good insurance.
