Re: Rennsport Reunion?

First Cobras, now GT40s and soon 917s ? The exclusitivity of these wonderfull machines becomes clouded with the oversubscribed replica market, with too many manufacturers, too many unfinished projects, too many cars on the market for sale. How many Cobras originally built, 300+ ? How many Gt40 originally built, 150+?, how many 917s ? What will kill the mythical excitement of these cars, poor replicas that never achieve the reallity of the originals, and of all of these the 917 must be the one car that should never be replicated, nothing will get near the original, its an evil, blood curdling beast that should never be uncaged, you cant get the essence of a tiger out of a pussy cat !
