    How can Special Interest Car Enthusiasts be Liberal Politically??

    Maybe. 2012 Corvette Grandsport - EPA estimated 26 mpg highway. There are some guys that claim to have gotten 30+ mpg in their Vettes. The Porsche 918 Hybrid with V8 gets an estimated 78 mpg and 718 HP. Looks like it isn't as difficult as it might seem ... What is the phrase, oh...

    How can Special Interest Car Enthusiasts be Liberal Politically??

    Hmm, let's see. So, Bob, you don't like the fact that after the initial CAFE requirements were enacted, it spurred multiple technical breakthroughs so that modern V8s, including supercharged and turbocharged versions, actually became more efficient in design and nearly met if not exceeded...

    GT40 Mk1 with gulf flares??

    Pretty much all of the replicas will get the look right. The differences are primarily in chassis construction and suspension design. Roaring Forties, Southern GT, and GT Forte use a space frame chassis that you attach panels to with rivets and adhesive. CAV and ERA use a stainless steel...

    Crucified.

    It won't do much good. Apparently, many of the Arab states are sitting on a wealth of other valuables that will support them when the oil runs out or prices drop substantially. Ian

    GT40 Mk1 with gulf flares??

    I'll do my best here. Yes Yes Yes, the type of flares added by JWA Racing in '68 and '69. Roaring Forties of Australia. It says so in the comments (the owner answered). Also, this car was owned by a gent who used to chat on this forum. 17 inch BRM replicas made by Vintage...

    SLC on Auction in Monterey

    Nope - it was never in production. They were asked to yank it before they had finished re-engineering it. Ian

    Alloy vs. Iron blocks

    Warping of aluminium engine parts has been an issue since they started using it. The old Z cars were notorious for cylinder head warpage. However, the problem is when the aluminium overheats and cools too quickly, or when it just cools too quickly. Which indicates there is a problem with your...

    Getting RF40 Titled - PA or OH Better?

    Every state handles self assembled vehicles differently just about. So, what Ohio requires may not be the same as what PA requires. A simple title transfer is most likely not what will happen. You may not have to go through the full process of re-registering, but you will have to do some work...

    Replica/Kit Makes : MK I MK I GTD GT40 MK I

    Ah, OK. That makes sense. I was thinking "RVS" was a 3rd party chassis supplier, making replacement mono chassis for GTD cars. This particular GTD is, as far as I know, a standard spaceframe GTD chassis with riveted panels. There was a GTD in the LA area whose owner had a custom welded...

    What Car Racing movie did you like the most?

    Toss up between Le Mans and Grand Prix. The list of cameos in Grand Prix is quite a selling point: Phil Hill, Graham Hill, Juan-Manuel Fangio, Jim Clark, Jochen Rindt, Jack Brabham, Dan Gurney, Richie Ginther, Jo Bonnier and Bruce McLaren. Also, a GT40 was used as a camera car :)
