RCR's Next car should be.....
- Thread starter Big-Foot
- Start date
It is a personal car ....
my thinking is to try and show some of the owners of original cars that we "kitcar" builders really do have a deep appreciation for the original cars they own...and we are not trying to cash in on the "continutation" trend....just paying homage is priviledge enough...

That bodyshell is sort of special.....
It was in the Banzai club in LA.
It won best car and paint at the Palm Springs Concourse in 1981.
It did laps with John Paul Jr. driving at the 1981 and 1982 Walter Mitty (Road Atlanta).
Many many women that rode in that car back in the 70s and early 80s had one more sex partner when they got out than when they got in, so I hear.

Oooh, don't like the sound of that last bit Johan. I think Fran should send it over to me as soon as he's finished it, as it could make his life too complicated. For a small fee I'll look after it. Better make that a large fee, as it will take a massive bribe to get that registered with our regulations here in Oz.

You boys would only install Roo bars and brush guards on it anyway...
Thinking about the 917...
So - what if you were to take two Porsch 6 cylinder engines - or two Subaru 4 cylinders and mount them end to end (Freight Train fashion)...
I worked on a car very similar to the one below back in the late 60's early 70's.. It was quite successful until NHRA banned the twin engine cars..

I'm on the verge of touching myself inappropriatel
In all seriousness Fran, ever thought of something like this...
Race Workshop
It's a Ferrari F40 recreation using a Toyota 4.0L V8 with a pair of Garrett Hybrid turbochargers making about 600hp. All dimensions are perfect with the original and body parts are actually interchangeable (much like some GT40 kits). Dunno if this is something you'd look at doing for fear of the Red Lawyers coming after you, but food for thought none the less.
Laters,
Brian

That car is awesome...I know a couple of people that have seen it in the flesh...in reality the cost of the build exceeded the price of a genuine used F40....ouch!!!.
Great quality and craftmanship though...
