I and probably many others would like to see a GTX-1 option from the kit manufactuars. I am very impressed with the "doodling" lots of talent, kudos. Theon Karabatsos

It is for some collateral and I wish it was an Elise but that is not what he had. :( Theon

The picture Fran sent is the car, now that we know which one it is does anyone have an idea on value? Thanks. Of course I will have to sell this car and use the assets towards a RCR or another 40. :) Theon Karabatsos

I may be involved in an interesting transaction involving a 2004 MG TF with 6000 miles. Would anyone know the particular value of such a collateral? Any insight would be welcomed. Theon

For those who want a RCR but don't want to build it I believe there is an option of having a builder do it for and it would still be more than $10K ($20K with next year pricing) less than the SPF turnkey minus pricing. I'm sure Fran can elaborate if he has some builders ready to work or not. I...

For anyone interested according to Kit Car Magazine the Superformance GT has a frontal surface area of 15.8 square feet. Theon

WMD - George Bush is coming for you. Theon

I imagine the Ricardo found in the Ford GT could handle it. There are a couple of video of 800 plus RWHP Ford GTs running around the internet. Does anyone know how much hp the Ricardo is suppose to handle? Are those modified GTs going to eat the Ricardo or could they handle it? Does anyone...

I am curious. Does anyone have lap times of GT40s on the Nurburgring? I would be curious to see how the gt40s faired. Theon

This past saturday Fran was gracious enough to provide a shop tour for a friend and I at RCR. We spoke a couple hours with Fran while he showed us his shop and all his wonderful toys. I was very impressed with Fran and his cars. You instantly sense his passion for his cars with all the fine...

Which manufactuars make a spyder version? By the looks of the Carlisle photos ERA makes one. I know a couple of years back CAV used to advertise them but I haven't seen anything in some time. Does RCR have plans for a spyder version, I hope so? Theon Karabatsos

Road and Track has an article on a road US 129 in North Carolina that is commonly known as the Tail of the Dragon. It has 318 curves in 11 miles. Does anyone have any experience with this road, what are your thoughts? I know someone drove with a GT40 on it because on tailofthedragon.com there...

Last night on the travel channel I saw a show called American Supercars which was about the Viper and the Ford GT. It was an hour special highlighting the two cars. There was even a favorble segment on the GT40 Replica cars and some of our own members. The next showing for Direct TV is 5/17...

GT40 on \"My Classic Car\" Last night on the speed channel on the show "My Classic Car" they briefly showed a red GT40. They were showing cars from a festival at I believe the Charlotte Speedway. Does anyone know whose car it was. Theon

Just Curious, Is this one of those huge printers that print out those vinyl sheets?

I would have to see the video again you may be correct. Chrysler was claiming this to be a countach during an engineering show at U of I. They were showing the video of the show 60 minutes which had a lamborghini segment and they showed a short film called rendevous which they claimed was a...

I was not able to view the movie however I may be able to shed some light on it. If this is the movie of a car racing thru downtown paris chasing an old lady off the sidewalk (I have a few sidewalk experiences myself) then I've seen it before. I was at the University of Illinois and Chrysler...

Does anyone know the frontal surface area in order to calculate what I believe is called the drag area (frontal surface area X drag coefficient)? The GT40 may not have the best Cd but should have just about the lowest frontal surface area of any supercar. Theon

Has anyone had any experience with wrapping their car? Basically it is vinyl sheets placed over the car that allow any sort of colors or graphics that the computer and imagination allows to make just about anything. Theon Karabatsos

I was at the Barrington, IL Cruise Night 6/9 and there was a Ford GT there. A beautiful car that had gotten a lot of attention for sure. Although it is lower than all the other cars there it is rather large. If a GT40 was next to it, it would have made a nice contrast in size. The owner also...
