| Re: Track Characteristics of the SPF?
[Hi Kim
In November 07 a GT40 replica was tested with 12 other modern performance cars. This was in South Africa at Upington Airport and involved sveral tests and was for CAR magazine and a TV programme. Since the vehicle is a CAV I do not feel free to discuss the outcome here. Should the moderator deem to move this elsewheres on the site I can provide more info. At best I can say that a sorted GT40 replica does run with the best.
My intention, like many on this board, is to track the car – in my case about 20% of its total miles, probably at various club events and racetracks (Sebring, Moroso, Homestead, to name a few). I'm curious: Does anyone have track experience with the SPF? What are their track characteristics? High speed oversteer/understeer? Stability at speed? Can they keep up with more modern machines like the Z06s, Porsche 996s, Cup Cars, and the like. Etc.
Obviously, I'm trying to predict how my car will perform (I've driven the car endless miles in my imagination and it always does great!). For background, it has the standard Avon tire setup (r:295/f:215); it has an all-aluminum 427W with TWM injection and 608 bhp (a tad much, I'm afraid); and, the front-end enjoys canard wings to increase downforce.
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
