Put it down like this; A car is a result of a bunch of compromises as a result of a few fixed design parameters.
For the gt40 the height was one of the parameters, for a modern car it could be safety or some comfort/safety measurement.
Alot of the modern performancecars (not mentioning any specific ones) are actually quite shitty when it comes to the suspension geometry.
The original gt40 suspension geometry is actually not that bad, i would say more modern cars are way worse and you have to ask yourself "what the he"#! where they thinking of?"
On the other hand and as mentioned by others alot has happened to brakes, shocks etc and cannot be compared to 50+ year old technology.
So i would say if you take a gt40 with its original suspension geometry, put on some larger diameter rims with some modern sticky rubber and then some modern performance brakes and really good proper setup dampers you should be able to make it a competitive car. It would of course require a bit of effort to get everything dialed in.
Quite a few also refers to a spaceframe replica as a gt40. When it comes to details like suspension geometry there is not much relation to the original car. Put it like this; If you put a ford granada or cortina suspension on a kit car, would you expect it to handle way better than the ford granada or cortina did?
I see you dont want the corvette suspension, well, the corvette is a performancecar so why not use something built with that in mind?
