from Western NC...

hi, i'm tray... and well, i'm not a GT40 owner but hopefully, maybe one day I will be... for now, I'm a rotary guy. I have a '93 rx7 that recent began the transition into a NA 3-rotor powered car.

i'm here because I've again been reminded of my near obsession with GT40s and figured this would be a great place to learn and hopefully make some friends along the way.

just a few pics of my car

Welcome Tray. Like you I owned a heavily modded Gen 3 RX 7 and sold it to help purchase my first CAV GT 40. Never got to the 3 rotor stage but I know that is one fantastic sounding engine. Sadly the GT 40 has been sold after over 6 years of ownership so I can tell you first hand there is a gulf of difference between the two cars. Both are massively enjoyable though. Good Luck in your endeavors.

Welcome to GT40s.com Tray....

I've raced against cars like yours back when I was racing SCCA.. They were really quick and emitted a scream so loud it would make your ears bleed!
Good luck in finding or building the car of your dreams!
 
thanks... and Jimmy, that is my idea, after I enjoy the car for a bit it will go up for sale to help me towards building a GT40

Do you go to Cars and Coffee on the 3rd Saturday of the month at the Biltmore Park Mall? There is usually 1 or 2 GT40s there.
 
I do go...and I've talked to Phil (red) and Larry (yellow) a few times. Phil was also kind enough to give me a short ride a few months back in his.

here are 2 pics from Feb C&C with my dad joining in the pics

Yes both are friends. Those pics were from the KIA parking lot. The last time I went I took my '32 Buick. Phil and I are going down to visit with Olthoffs on Friday when I drop off a car.
