There are these moments which you almost miss in life. I got interested in racing when I was 11 years old watching the movie LeMans. So years later, I'm racing my Radical (which is in Gulf colors with the #20) and it's raining etc. I get home and am watching the video and realize, here I am...

A few years back, I was poking around here, calling people and generally doing research about building a GT40 kit based race car for the NASA enduros...eventually I went a different direction but still retain the Gulf paint job. Have a few videos on the web from the in-car camera setup I...

Won a 3 hour night enduro with our \"gulf\" Radical About a year ago, I seriously looked into getting a GT40 replica to convert into a race car to do the NASA enduros on the west coast. I talked to CAV and Gordon Levy and GT40NZ but ultimately decided that it wasn't suitable or cost effective...

sequence numbers have been assigned as of February 4th. FYI.

Another one? Is it me or does it seem there is one manufacturer for about every 5 customers?

This is what I\'m looking at... Not this year but maybe next year, we've won the 12 hour in the past but my goal is to run a GT40 in the 25 hour. Wouldn't that be cool? 03/03/03 For Immediate Release Richmond, CA. The National Auto Sport Association (NASA), announces the creation of the...

wow.

Seems like the folks that bought them (like Wayne Presley) got rid of them fairly quickly. Opinions of these cars? The CAV dealer was trying to slam them pretty hard (he wanted me to buy a new monocoque) but you take that stuff with a grain of salt.

Just wanted to say that in only a couple of months of interest in a possible GT40 project, due to names, numbers and contacts I've gotten DIRECTLY through this board, I think I have every single possible piece of information I need to make a decision. Not that I am close to making the decision...

The show is "Behind the Wheel" and here's program guide. I don't have the network but someone told me about it. Fine Living program guide

Don\'t know if this is old news but ATL makes fuel cells... For GT40s and replicas. One problem I'm having with a racing configuration is replacing the Monza style caps to a modern racing cap and then figuring out what to do with the fuel filler neck but that's another problem. Scroll down to...

So...if I read this correctly, if the engine is more than 21 years old it's exempt from smog standards by the EPA but otherwise it's considered a car that has to meet EPA standards? Anyone understand this or know about importing a car from the UK or Europe to the US? EPA website regarding...

Found this on a website and it is "shifts at 6000rpm" but I cant BELIEVE how low the speed in gears is...is this a Audi 3V box (does anyone know)? Not that the car isn't quick (looks like around 10 seconds 0-100mph) but it appears it would be about done at 130 and one would spend all day...

While researching transmissions, someone suggested Tremic for mating with the Ford 302 or 351W. According to this, the gearbox can be used in a mid-engine application. Any knowledge/opinions? TREMIC gearboxes

Now I just need the rest of the car. BEAUTIFUL...not sure what I was expecting but this is a first rate piece of work.

First of all, I've read several conflicting things about what a suitable HP for a GT40 is. Obviously if you just keep putting HP up the wazoo you'll end up with a car that spins its wheels, snap-oversteers and breaks transaxles and has all sorts of extra wear. It APPEARS that a good HP number is...

They are finishing CAVs and selling them via ebay and the auto-trader. Wondering if anyone knows anything about them. Cherner Classics

I'm curious as to how much actual useage these cars get...still mulling this over and want to put something like 8,000-9,000 mi/yr on a car or its of no use to me...I like driving my "toys" and don't "collect" so like to have one really fun car at a time. Is this realistic for something like a...

Noticed that most of the CAV's coming on the market complete are using the inexpensive Gettrag Audi transmission. My personal experience with Audi's wasn't too good but then again that car had a ZF tranny hehehehe. Was wondering what people think of "that" transmission...I'm counting on you...

Hoping to drive a CAV GT40 next month but a friend of mine who had driven a GTD said "it was too much like a Pantera" and that has me wondering. I've driven a ton of cars and though have plenty of open-wheel time I'm wondering how much fun something like this would be attacking the twisties...
