Sept.25/10
I'd like to share a suggestion with the GT 40 community that will first sound like total heresy
but I'd still like feedback. When I read about the issues of daily driving most owners will
complain about loud noise, low head room , high heat levels, poor visibility due to low
height etc. You may say that most owners will race the car. But why should it not be an acceptable daily driver like the Corvette.? Companies that make replicas would love to increase their production levels. My idea? Increase the car's overall size by 10% but don't change the classic shape. The roof will now be 44 inches high, length, width will all increase
by 10%. Drive train will remain the same. Additional weight will be in slightly larger chassis
and bigger bodywork. Motors can easily compensate for the increased weight. Ergonomic
improvements will be greatly appreciated by all and the silhouette will remain eternal.Now which company is ready to stick their necks out for a shot at a future?
