You know, I am always amazed when people who see one of these up close ALWAYS will say " WOW thats small" Yes MK 1's are very small. When I am next to a corvette at a stoplight the top of the door/ bottom of the side window sill is over my head and the passenger is looking down at me!
Inside the GT's are as big as a corvette. I sat in a new corvette last night and the GT this morning. Plenty of room for most people I would guess. Just about everything is about 10% bigger. Height, width, lenght, tire height, engine size, everything! My guess is a modern GT40 replica like the RF's for example with about 400hp would be about the same performance wize. About 6 to 1 power to weight ratios for both. Oh and about 40%-50% of the cost!
But in real terms they really don't compair. Just too different.
The new GT's are really what you get if you build a GT 40 to current road legal standards and performance. They are really nice cars, too bad they can't be had for the MSRP price. I guess I'll just have to get by with ol' Betty.
I will play the loto from now on though!!
Thanks for bringing your GT by John, Now the real trick is going to be bringing them both on the same morning!
