I’ve done an extensive research on the best built GT-40s (Both MKI and MKII models) currently available since I am looking to own one very soon. We all know that “the best value” is NOT necessarily the best and I am looking to find that very best. This car deserves it.
I really liked the Roaring Forties and especially a drivetrain on their cars: The Ford’s 302ci Windsor V8 tuned engine mated to an Audi transaxle with correct ratio gearbox option. They also offer a superb Eight barrel injection system w/MoTec engine management system as well as AP brakes - Six piston front calipers, four piston rear calipers.
Next is the body – ERA replicas is another well respected name in the business. They formulate their fiberglass layup toward maintaining excellent body shape rather than feather-light weight. Their front and rear body sections are hand laid using random fiberglass mat so that the paintable surface will show no cloth pattern for the life of the car. I could not find any references about cloth pattern prevention anywhere else. Is it really a problem?
Also what is the best chassis construction available for this car as well as a sport tuned suspension?
Is it possible to fit 16/17” tires on this car without a wide Wheel flairs?
What is the future maintenance schedule for this car (engine, transmission, etc.)?
Thank You.
