    Hi From California

    I am 6'1" and fit in a CAV comfortably with a helmet on, the ERA is more cramped. As others have said if you are looking for specific reference on the GT40 vs. GT-R then a trip to Michigan is warranted.

    Using an EWP as an auxiliary pump to the mechanical

    The downside of a mechanical pump is volume is dependent on engine rpm, that can be solved to an extent with pulley ratios, but then many will cavitate at higher rpm. There's a lot of piping and flow resistance in a mid engine application with radiator up front for a mechanical suction pump and...

    Hi From California

    IMO the Porsche and GT40 are very different cars to own and drive, it may come down to your expectations and type of driving/use. The Porsche has all the creature comforts, the GT40 more visceral and raw. I am personally not a Porsche fan (although got part way there after driving a friends...

    ZF Transmission temperature gauge

    If the transaxle was inverted for GT40 use then what was the vent in the Panterra orientation could be used as most add a separate fill plug. IMO a temp gauge is just a distraction, if you think you are going to run hot enough to have an issue then an oil cooler is likely required. That said I...

    Le Mans Classic 30 june - 3 July 2022

    I have been going to each event since 2008 with a group of Pantera owners, and really looking forward to 2022 with what has been a 4 year hiatus. When purchasing tickets you'll need General Admission, Paddock & want a Grandstand ticket. Each year seems to be bit different, but the event is now...

    What is the approx cost of a new ZF transaxle?

    So true unfortunately, just look at how many new FGT's remain in a garage until the 2 year no sale contract is up only to then immediately go up for sale. If I were able to get one at MSRP I'd be driving the snot out of it!

    Bob Bondurant

    Very sad news, an American icon, RIP Bob. I took a 4 day Bondurant competition license school many years ago and Bob dropped in almost every day.

    Superformance GT40 MKI at Mecum Monterey

    $170k + a 10% buyers premium is all the money I would expect personally, I saw the 50th anniversary edition gulf car bid to $270k and didn't sell either.

    Question about starter for G50 with KEP fly wheel

    I have a similar setup (again Chevy engine) and experience on my Ultima, it turned out the starter was only just engaging with the flywheel ring gear on a longitudinal basis (depth onto the ring gear, not tooth mesh), it wiped the edge of the ring gear teeth over time.

    Registration/Title issues

    Congratulations, I had a similar title experience when I purchased my ERA on an MSO, the DMV need to legally see the chain of custody, i.e. Bill's of resale between owners if the MSO is not in the current owner's name. I had to get the dealer to go back and fill in a gap in transfer of ownership...

    15" racing tires - which are the best for the track?

    I looked at the Hoosier tire and it has durometer of 62 which is akin to a regular street tire like a Toyo RA1, I'd have no hesitation in using them on the street given many of the recommendations in the discussion are pure race tires. I could get a set of front and wider rear for $325...

    11 or 12 x 15????

    A 295 Avon is a stretch on a 12" rim (rated for 8.5-10.5") and the tire selection is limited at 12" width. If you are going with custom offsets that fill the Gulf flares I'd go with an 11", if a standard offset the 11" may require a spacer to get the correct look, a skinny wheel set back under...
