Well, I've decided that I'm going to have to get myself a GT40 replica. I'm currently trying to educate myself a bit about GT40s in general, and the replica manufacturers. I've obtained several books recommended elsewhere on the forum, and joined the GTD club.
I'm wondering if somebody might be willing to give me some information about the GTDs. I'm interested in the strong points and weak points, and what to look for if I decide to look at second hand cars or uncompleted kits. Also, what options I should be looking for, and which modifications I'd probably want to make. I intend to use it mostly on the road, but would like to get onto a track every once in a while.
My first concern is fitting into the cars; I'm a little tall (6' 4", about 193cm), so I know I'm pushing the envelope. I've seen other manufacturers claiming to be able to fit someone of my height, and wondered how the GTDs compare to other brands size-wise. Can the floor pan be readily dropped? I had the opportunity to "try on" a Sabre this week (a reincarnation of the KVA, I believe), and I can see how I'd be able to manage, with some creativity. A Gurney bump is required, of course!!
Thanks for any information!
Ron
