Thought I'd say hello. I love cars and have been eyeing the GT40 for a while. I almost bought on of the Ford GT's this summer and the WANT is still lingering b
I have two other cars at the moment, an Aston Martin V12 Vantage and an R8 V10. Two very different cars, but they both have the big engines, even if they go about their business in very different ways.
I take the R8 to the track and it is a very competent track car. This year the car will get sorted so we will see how it does. The R8 is fantastic, though I wish it was more raw.
Here's what I'm thinking, build an RCR GT40. Do it for the joy of the build, do it as a way to build something unique, something for me. But I know EVERY car has its own culture and rules. I fear the GT40 might have a more traditional base for what I have in mind. I'm hoping not.
I want to go RCR because they seem to have a killer kit and I have local support (great guys, saw them a few weeks back). I love the idea of an aluminum monocoque.
I drive mostly new exotica, so my performance expectations might be inconsistent, or not. I might WISH for a more raw driving experience, but reality might kick my butt.
What I'm looking for is more of a resto-mod car. My brother builds amazing first gen camaros built on modern corvette platforms. I want a car built on the ideas of the 60's assuming they had the benefit of our knowledge.
That means better brakes, tires, interiors, electronics, suspension etc. but not to the point it alters the experience.
I'd love to create a modern, light weight, high powered car that could whoop some butt on the track and turn heads on the streets. Maybe I'm crazy, maybe I should continue with the R8. But I see what you guys have done and many of these cars are just amazing.
Anyway, hi
