Yep JB you've opened up a hornet's nest with that question.I hope I don't offend anyone who may be an exception, but I would say all the replica Gt40 kit manufacturers sell road cars.Some may have race oriented parts in some areas but true racing equipment costs a lot of money and would send kit costs into the stratosphere.My car for instance would have $200,000 invested in it (please don't tell my wife), Lain has probably spent a lot more than that. So in my opinion any of the replicas could be turned into race cars it just costs a lot more money than the cost of the kit. I have 4.5 years invested in development of my car and I have had to also deal with design issues that show up only as you go faster. Of course the known short cut is to buy a kit and then copy all the work done on a race version of the same car if it is quick. A few have followed my efforts and I say good on them but if they come out and beat me then the info would stop.Only natural really.
