My favorite is the MKII body without the snorkels. If I ever have to repaint, I will go that route.

I completely agree, but I would probably put the Mk1 tail lights back in.
I agree Kirby. From the rear quarter it gets your attention too. As I was following you around the track at Road America and watched you charge into the corners the adjective that came to mind was "sinister". Really keeps the ol' pump thumpin'.
Thanks, Daryl.
Ahhh.... another adjective!
Brutal, mean and now sinister!
:laugh:
When I gave my son a ride in it the first time and after I nailed the throttle, he said... 'Dad! This thing is violent!'
But I find myself desiring more horsepower... you get used to things, you know...

Yes, I suppose so... The thought crossed my mind back when I ordered the car... But then everything would have to change!
:shocked:
New headers, new intake, new bellhousing, etc. etc. etc. etc.
Based on the performance of my new Pantera engine, a cam change will do me nicely in the GT40 427 Windsor.
But thanks for the thought! :laugh:

I like yours a lot too Kirby
That picture was taken by my son soon after I got the car. It has moved a little towards XGT2 in some ways recently. Here's a picture of me getting ready to go out on the track at Texas World Speedway last year.
They wouldn't let me have 7, so I had to do a makeshift '17'.

Love that last picture.
I will have to vote for the MKII style.

i went for the mk2 as it was cheap......and i'm glad it was as the shape has really grown on me!
i also think the mk2 lends itself to better paint options. the curves if the rear intakes make any pearl/candy finish look superb.
yet i will be painting mine in something far less trick.
last year in britain, there was some moulds incorperating a mk2 rear doing the rounds, with people buying the moulds, making 3 bodies, trying to sell 2 of them to pay for theirs, then selling the moulds to someone who wants to build a car (usually a boat/kitcar builder) who would make 3, etc etc....this is how i got a cheap body.
so, for some of us budget builders, luckily the mk2 is the cheapest option.
this is only what i've seen.
