Re: Had a broken door cable?

I just can't believe that Superformance did such a great job replicating the GT40, but then took such a dumb shortcut and replaced the proper GT40 interior doorhandles (which are purely mechanical, as seen here on #1080),



with a stupid pull cable which is not only not authentic, but is just begging to fail.

I'm still years away from getting my own Superformance, and I would hope that they would ditch the shortcut and install proper, original-style hardware. If not, mine will be modified appropriately before I ever get inside it.

And FWIW, the only Superformance car I ever sat in, a brand new rolling chassis at the SPF HQ in Irvine, came completely with a broken door cable; the salesman had to let me out of the car....
