When the Future Was Faster - Steve Sailer

2019 was supposed to be Hollywood’s year of Intersectional Diversity, but the handful of good films—such as Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Joker, The Irishman, and now Ford v Ferrari—keep turning out to be period pieces about straight white men made for straight white men by straight white men.

Reliable Matt Damon plays Texan race-car impresario Carroll Shelby (one of the more glamorous names I recall from my 1968–1970 Car Craze years), and Christian Bale is inspired as Shelby’s hotheaded English test driver Ken Miles.

While sizable opening-weekend audiences gave this buddy picture an A+ CinemaScore grade, presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg’s media empire was incensed by it. Hannah Elliott complained in Bloomberg that the hit film dared to lack today’s obligatory Diversity-Inclusion-Equity (DIE):

But what I saw is a devastating picture of the lack of diversity that permeated the industry in the 1960s…. Because ‘Ford v Ferrari’ shows a generation best left dead and gone.

She went on:

Picture this: …men dominate the screen for 98% of the time, by my unofficial count. They are in the executive suites at Ford and Ferrari, in the workshops and garages in Venice, on the track out at Willow Springs Raceway. (And when I say men, I mean white, straight men.)

Well, yeah, the Ford that went 218 mph way back in 1965 was built by white, straight men.

Guilty as charged....

That engine and car must have been screaming.

And I know it did not have governors on it like Swift big trucks do. LOL

That was the Mk II, with the 427, which did not rev nearly as high as the earlier 289s. Must have had something like a 2.30:1 final drive.

(Well, my guess was close, it was actually 2.77:1)

My old Blazer had a straight 6, three on the tree and a 4:11 rear end. And lock out hubs too. I went ridge running in Arkansas with it and went out to New Mexico to collect minerals at the old Blanchard Mine in Bingham, New Mexico.

The guy I sold it to pulled out the six and put in a V-8. He blew up the rear end and then couldn't find parts. He got drunk in Wisconsin, went off the road and hit a tree and killed himself. No idea what ever happened to his two kids. They likely grew up as delinquents. ;)

4:11 is great for drag racing (or pulling stumps), but it would drive me crazy having the engine turn at 4800rpm doing 60.

I don't know since I did not have a tach on there. I had the engine rebuilt once and it blew up later on. Those guys did a lousy job on it. ;)
