John, those do look a lot more accurate than any others I've see or heard tell of. The "MKI GT40 at 2000lbs and all the replicas are heavier" is something I've believed to be myth for a long time and those numbers seem to prove it. Our replicas probably weigh about same as the original cars and, for most of us, have more horsepower than the original GT40s. If a lot of care is paid to setup they should handle better as well. Be interesting to see how people develop their replicas as more and more get used for track events.
