    Carlisle

    As for the garage, not built yet. But I have already asked a contractor for an estimate. I figure I may as well have it built rather tall so I can put a lift in it so I can stack cars.

    Carlisle

    Last weekend, I drove up to Carlisle to check out the replicar show. I had a great time seeing all the different makes of GT40s and speaking with the respective representatives as well as placing a face with a name. I already knew both CAV and ERA put out a fantastic product as I have visited...

    The New Ford GT

    If that price and weight are correct , one might as well buy the gallardo for a little more. It will certainly outperform the car with as it weighs 600 lbs less, same hp, and 4wd. Also, since Audi now runs Lamborghini, I'll bet its quality will out do Ford. I was hoping for 3000 lbs and no...

    New Ford GT Article From Fri. 12/6 Detroit News

    Thanks for the article. No offense to Ford, but I hope they have a hard time selling at $130K, because I really want one.

    Monocoques

    Marco, You are right, I'm pretty sure London had a great fire in 1666. I just got back from London and went to Monument and climbed to the top. Monument was a column made dedicated to the great fire.

    I have trying to keep as up to date as possible on the new Ford GT. Anyway, looks like they have a running prototype of the car. I'm still waiting to hear how heavy this thing will weigh. Here are two articles: http://autoweek.com/cat_content.mv?port_code=autoweek&cat_code=carn...

    CAV Dealer in Virginia...

    That is one nice looking car. I am assuming it is the car on cavgt.com's website. What rim and tire sizes are on it?

    50 most beautiful cars

    This is another of my favorites. It made the top 50, but I think they placed it somewhere in the 20s or 30s. The Alfa Romeo Stradale... [ November 22, 2002: Message edited by: Jon ]

    50 most beautiful cars

    EVO magazine came out with their 50th issue this month. Part of the issue went through what they consider to be the 50 most beautiful cars ever produced. I don't have the issue, but the GT40 came in 9th. The Muira was 1st and the XKE 2nd.

    Is this anyone's GT40?

    Is this anyone\'s GT40? Someone I work with told me he sees a blue GT40 with white stripes driving around on the weekends occassionally in Manassas, Va. Just wondering if it is anyone on the forum.

    When was this quoted?

    The new Ford GT should surpass the new viper in performance and be quite a bit more costly as well. I don't know why you think it will be slower. The Ford GT should weigh close to 3000 lbs if what I have heard is true.

    Refined GT40 Replica?

    I agree with Jack on this one. I give Ford alot of credit for having the guts to produce a car such as the new Ford GT. I myself and torn between the new GT and a replica. I am going to wait until this summer when the new Ford GT is 'officially' released to see what its stats are. I think if...

    Can anyone recommend a good book on...

    Ford small block engines? I am interested in learning about what makes them tick. I am no mechanic and only understand basics of engine principles at this point. Most of the talk on engine tech that goes on the board is often beyond my scope of knowledge. [ October 23, 2002: Message edited...

    How did you get infected with the GT40 virus?

    GT40s won Le Mans before I was born. I am a avid auto enthusiast and always admired them. I'll say I was 'bitten' when I was at Barnes and Noble about 2 yrs ago and on the cover of one of the kit car magazines, there was a picture of a silver ERA GT40. I haven't looked back. The car embodies...
