Dimi is right in saying we all have different reasons for a building/owning a GT40.

My reason is to have competitive car for hillclimb and circuit sprint use. Time to beat the 4WD's (damn EVO 9's are way too quick) at their own game. I figure if you're going to build a race car, why not one with a good looking body on it?

The added bonus of having a car that will pay your money back (plus some extra perhaps) if/when you have to sell is fantastic! Compared to a normal modified road/race car where you just flush all the money spent down the toilet at resale time it almost sounds too good to be true, and of course it is in a sense. Because all the time it took to build it, as previously mentioned, would cost a lot if you charged yourself (if that's not a circular argument!).

So, I've almost convinced myself that building a GT40 is a sensible decision! What's your excuse?
