GT40s won Le Mans before I was born. I am a avid auto enthusiast and always admired them. I'll say I was 'bitten' when I was at Barnes and Noble about 2 yrs ago and on the cover of one of the kit car magazines, there was a picture of a silver ERA GT40. I haven't looked back. The car embodies automotive perfection: looks, history, performance and domestic power without the outrageous service/maintenance costs of European supercars.
