But in a field of vintage Italian V12's, your car received the most and deepest praise. (OK, the Countach generated some buzz too, because it is a Countach fergodzake... but which one would you rather drive?) Congratulations!

Thanks for all of the great comments. You guys are the bast! I hope to see some of you at Carlisle!!!
Thanks salmjo1! That was a very fun time. I was amazed at the reception I recieved at that event. There were some outstanding cars there! There were a few jackasses who ran over with their jaws hanging when I drove in only to turn their heads and walk away when they found out it was a replica but 90% of the people there were very nice , made very nice comments and showed a great deal of interest.There were a couple of older guys who said that they worked on real GT40s "back in the day" who said they were very impressed with the car.
I took my friend (Who ownes one of the vintage V12 Ferraris as well as the Shelby GT350 ) for a ride and he proclaimed my car as "the fastest car he had ever been in...by far")
I tried to get one of the Countach guys to race me for pink slips but he wouldn't go for it!
