I understand there were numerous upgrades and changes to the CAV GT40s after car #100. Do any of the CAV owners out there know what all the changes were?
CAV GT40 Upgrades?

Gary, might be a good idea to contact Johann Keyser (US CAV Rep) 919-924-9891 for all mods made. I know they upgraded the interiors, lowered the floor a bit to add further head room, mods to the suspension I believe also (but unsure exactly what mods were) brakes were upgraded too. Hope this helps.
Its my understanding with them now being under new ownership even more mods are coming through. The A/C system is being improved etc.

Thank you!
Gary,
It's a pretty good list.
The major upgrade that I'm aware of is improvement to the front and rear uprights. The pre-100 uprights are fine/OK I think for street use and maybe the occasional track day, but not for hard-core use.
I believe the brakes were improved from the Mustang GT brakes on the pre-100 cars to four pot wilwoods/brembos. Frankly, the GT brakes are just fine, there's plenty of brake there with lots of thermal capacity for continuous hard braking....just the four pots look better and are more customary for a high performance car.
As Pat showed, there's a range of other upgrades too.
