Scott,

If you have not already done so, I would recommend visiting a few upscale dealers for GT40s so you have a first hand experience seeing one in person, setting in it (and maybe a test drive), and being able to discuss variables for options and standard equipment with the sales person. This in itself will be well worth your time to help answer your questions you have listed above.

I agree with Cliff. Keep the horsepower within reason, and you will end up with more driving time, and less repairs that will drain your pocketbook. The horsepower to weight ratio of a GT40 will deliver fantastic performance with 300-350 HP, and anyone with limited driving skills will find the learning experience to be very expensive when it comes to repairing collision damage. Remeber.....these cars are FAST setting still!!!

Cheers,
