I've always read that turbos are good for high end power. Superchargers are (mostly) more for low end power. I've also seen twin turbos and superchargers. Is it possible to put both a turbo and supercharger on the same engine? The supercharger would be great for a good amount of grunt off the...

Ok that didn't work either. Try this http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/redcat1111/vwp?.dir=/My+drawings&.dnm=Gt40+on+a+Fiero+chassis.jpg&.src=ph&.view=t&.hires=t

Hey Cris, I tried to send a copy to you. But, I'm also going to try another time here. Let me kow if you still can't see it. Doug

Hey Chris, $6,400 for a body and chassis? That's alot cheaper than I thought it would be. I know you would still need to get ALOT more stuff to complete the project but, it's a resonable start. Here's another little doodle. I think it more closely resembles what is possible.

This is just for fun. I did a quick drawing to show what the GT40, using the proportions of a Fiero, could look like. It's a little rough but it gives you the idea. Doug

Hello, I'd also be interested. Any idea of price? Doug

Touche' Sir Ian. And you can get a 914 for darn cheap. I've found a couple of different numbers on the 914. I've also found the numbers for the Fiero. I didn't include the height measurements, as I'd cut the top off at the A/B pillars and sell the windshield to recoup some money...

Thanks Guys, Your're right Ian that the Ferraris and Lamborghini kits are stretched. And, you can find people that will do that for you. I've checked into this and they tend to run in the $1000 to $1500 range. This is something that can be done to the Fiero. I think, the Fiero is about an 1...

I gotta tell ya, it's not just of the windshield that's wrong with that ASPP. If you look at the Countach kits, they have ditched the roof and windshield of the fiero, among other things, and have used the chassis in the way that is most like the automobile they are trying to replicate...

The ASPP isn't a very satisfying design. Once you get past the nose it's like they gave up on trying to make it look like a GT40. I wonder if it's even possible to make a fiero look like a GT40. You'd think so. They seem to do pretty well with the Lambo and Ferraris. At least, once they cut...

I think that is a classy remake, compared to the gt90. IMHO I'd love it if Ford had the nerve to make that car. I guess Motor Trend is starting a writing campaign. I hope it works. Doug

Wow! Those are very impressive chassis. I'd love to see the plans for the chasis as well but, I was mostly interested in the exterior. For some reason, I thought there may be a set of plans for the original GT40 used by Ford and Lola to make car, available on the net. They wouldn't even have to...

Yeah, I know. I'd love to get a GT40 made with a custom chassis. It would be the best way. But, it does seem a little expensive. Even, an incomplete one. I know they aren't really. Especially, if you figure the amount of time that goes into making one. I'm, really, just in the earliest stages...

Hello All, I love blueprints. Drawing them myself or just staring at, what others have done, for hours. Do any of you know where I can find a copy of GT40 blueprints on line? Thanks, Doug

Regrettably, I don't have much experience building this sort of thing. And, I figured it would be easier and cheaper to build a GT 40 from a donor car. I'm also some what on a budget. With a donor I can also buy the parts slowly as I can affoard them. Not all at once. (There is a gentleman on...

I'm VERY new to this whole kit car idea. But, I really love GT-40. And, I know there is no way I'll ever be able to get anything else but a kit car. The question is "Is there a kit car that uses a donor car for the chassis?" Like a Fiero or something? Thanks for any help you can give, Doug
