Finally got DRB #67 GT40 on the road on Sunday. Been over a year since I last drove it home from road registration inspection. Sigh... Video link attached. Now just gotta get the rest of the bits bolted to it. Then hit the track and find out how it handles. Drives very well on the road, but that does not tell you much, unless road driving is what you are aiming at.
And yes, I know the motor is very rich looking at the video. Was broken in on engine dyno and given a basic and safe tune with fuel fat and ignition not fully advanced. Will get some more distance on motor to free up and then get fully tuned on chassis dyno.
Specs:
347 Windsor, DC&O throttle bodies, Audi 016 trans with Quaife ATB diff.
Fabricated rear uprights and links, fully rod-ended. Front is Corvette alloy arms and uprights. AVO dampers, 450 lb/in rear, 350 lb/in front Eibach springs.
17" X 10" & 8" Simmons rims, 330 mm Corvette font discs, 290 mm vented rear discs, Wilwood 4 piston front, mazda RX-7 4 piston rear calipers.
