I don't recall that anyone on this forum has posted that they have tuned the chassis and supension of their SPF GT40 to race-level performance and exactly how they did it, or who did it. (At least in the couple of years that I've been on the forum. Anybody please correct me if I'm wrong --- and...

So the Quaife ZF transaxles are in production and available. Could you quote the price that you paid for yours and the importation source? Enjoy your new GT40. It isn't everybody's car that appears in one of the world's top car magazines. :thumbsup:

. . . . . all very interesting and informative. Whether I buy one of these cars or not depends on how this situation plays out. Thanks to all, especially Lynn Miner, for their frank contributions.

Heat insulation, noise reduction, cup holders, vanity mirrors, sun visors and DVD players on a race car. Oh man, you guys . . . . . . What would Dan and Mario think?

Yes. Share your new joy with us.

Interesting videos. But at neither track is the car is being driven anywheres near really hard: The engine isn't being taken up anywhere near redline, no hard braking on corner entry, no complaining tires through the corners, and not the slightest hint of wheelspin or fishtailing indicating an...

The only information on the track characteristics of the SPF's that I'm aware of are in the thread back one page intitled "SPF GT40 handling" posted by me a few months ago to elicit the same information that your looking for. One "Jeff" responded that he and his father have been playing around...

N-I-C-E. Classic livery, if there ever was any. Is it my imagination or does your car sit lower than the GT40's that Ford ran at Le Mans. (I believe the ACO, at the time, required all cars to drive over a and clear a small wood box or block as part of the qualification requirements. I don't...

Hi-Tech/Superformance comes through again. Good product support (before the fact, in this case) that inspires confidence that we will be buying (or have bought) a quality item that will be supported with necessary information. The approach I used rust-proofing production cars was to get the...

You are wise to consider rust-proofing you SPF GT40 as a common malady of originals in the U.K. and on the Continent where the climate is wet is corrosion. I've used rust-proofing kits on vehicles in the past which consisted of aerosol cans of rust-proofing agent with a long wand to access...

And so do many of us on this forum. Please post the specs (esp. torque and power limits) and price when they become firmed up. (I know there's another forum, somewhere on this website, dealing with these.) Thanks

Hmmmm . . . . . Not good. Any sports or race car should give you warning before it lets go. Sudden snap oversteer is not a good thing. Interesting that all the car magazine reports on the Ford GT never mentioned this idiosyncrasy. Either they never pushed the car that hard (they are...

Thanks, guys. That's just the sort of information I was looking for (including the Holiday Inn Express ;)). Anybody else?

N-I-C-E. Do enjoy. :)

I see that Foowowee and DaveM are accumulating some track time on theirs. Question: How is the handling on these as received? Are you running the suspension and steering as setup by High-Tech or did you or your retailer do any sorting out? Thanks

Jeff: Do keep us posted on the progress of this car. Thanks

Back "in the day" the GT40 was considered to have been an exceptionally strong, and somewhat heavy for the period, design by Ford's engineers back in Dearborn by the long-timers in international sports-racing in Ford's racing effort. Those that raced the car considered themselves well-protected...

A Ford GT transaxle is useable in a SPF GT40? It has been posted on this forum that it wouldn't fit in the car.

A beautiful mirror-gloss black. I was starting college when they came out. Gawd how we lusted after them, and the other muscle cars of the era.

N-I-C-E. At least it's on American Soil. Bet you can hardly wait. Enjoy :)
