The brakes are as provided by RCR. They are 11.75 inch rotors front and rear with 6 pot willwoods front and 4 pot rear. Both master cylinders are the same size. The bias is pretty much on the center of the bias adjuster. It does not take much of an adjustment before you have too much rear bias though.
Comparing the two cars is difficult. They are so different. The GTM is much more of a road car. It has power windows, power mirrors, and a more refined interior. The GT40 is a replica race car. It has a fairly crude interior with just a little toll window for air. Both do have AC though.
I prefer the driveline I have installed in the GTM. I have a carbureted 302 Ford and an Audi transaxle in the GT40. The GTM has a fuel injected LS1 and a G50/05. I have always been a Ford man, but I really like the LS1 engine and the G50/05 has better gear ratios than the Audi. I do prefer the sound of the GT40 with the cross over pipes though. I hate to even put this in print but an LS1 with crossover pipes in a GT40 would be an awesome combination.
On interior comfort they are both difficult to get in and out of. Both would be pretty tight for anyone much over 6 foot 2 inches. I think the GT40 is a little more comfortable unless there is someone in the passenger seat and then the GT40 feels really tight. Both have a real mail-slot view to the front and rear. I would say comfort is pretty close between the two cars. The seats in the GTM are a little wider so if you are heavy the GTM may fit you better.
As far as handling, I really can't tell a lot of difference yet. I have not pushed either car hard enough to know their limits. On paper the GT40 clearly has better brakes. I have old school 15 inch rims on the GT40 and 18 front and 19 rears on the GTM. The GTM may hold a corner better due to tire and rim selection but I have not pushed it hard yet (I don't have a 1000 miles on it yet.)
If what you are after is attention then the GTM wins. It seems to draw more of a crowd then my GT40. I believe the more modern shape attracts more attention, but the bright copper paint on it may have a little to do with that as well.
