How many Superlite GT-R kits are out there, and how many are drivable? GTR Owner Directory

[Jon]

I've been talking to several owners over the last few days, and all of us wonder the same thing.... how many GTR kits are in the wild, and how many are drivable? So, I thought I'd try to compile a list of all of the cars we collectively are aware of. I'd love for anyone to contribute any info they have (including a picture if possible.) Max of 10 photos per post so this will be multiple posts.

Good evening everyone so as you know I have been waiting for my GTR to be completed by RCR well today she arrived at my door, I would like to give a big thank you to Kristin, Vicki, and yes Fran as well for coming thru. The girls on the front line hear nothing but anal folks like me everyday asking when will the car be done so they defentaly need a big Thank you. I enclosed some pics and yes the Ecoboost motor looks small sitting in the engine bay but by the time I get done with all of the twin turbo piping it will be tight. I will try and keep the forum posted on my progress but I still...

It is finally here! The GTR is even better than I thought it would be. It's true, I was going with a carbon fiber body but I change my direction and I am going to build a heritage version instead. It will be a modern rendition of the infamous 1075 Gulf car. I even requested to have my vin number end in 1075! :thumbsup:



The car will be street legal but it will mainly be a track day butt kicker. I want to have a nice, clean, utilitarian interior in keeping with the...

Thanks for the info Joel! Updated.

Edit: Upon looking into it further, #12 is a different car. Kishel's build is now listed as #10.

I built this one for a customer a few years ago.

Great idea. I'm building one in Southern California. I'll try to get some pictures this weekend.

I think #11 & 12 are duplicates of Rufus's old (now Jims car).
And #5, 14 & 16 look to be the same car. Hopefully someone else can confirm?

Also, it looks like Luke S. on this board is building a Carbon Fiber one. Although he has not posted since 2018.

Awesome, I look forward to a photo so I can add it to the list.

Great eye!

#11-#12 are definitely the same, even the emissions sticker in the window is the same.
#5,14,16 - You're correct. The BAT listing pointed back to Ron Susser. Ron Susser had a video pointing back to Allans #3 build video, and they all mention a supercharged Coyote.,

Thanks for bringing those to my attention!
