Hi Fran, Kaspa et al - Long time no speak!
My Group C/ GTP car has stalled a bit recently as I have a nice Porsche 996 Carerra now and my best mate just picked up his 997 GT3 and we are busy playing with those... I will get back to the project shortly, although I have been having a rethink about body style recently and I have just gone through all 31 pages of this thread for inspiration!
As much as I like the Group C style, I am really starting to wonder whether it could be used on the road and my plan to have a track only car is falling by the wayside as work is too busy to make it to many trackdays...
I would love an SL-C, I think it is a beautiful car, but my preferences would be:
1). Porsche GT1-98 Evo (as posted earlier, based on a 996... Arash Farboud made 1)
2). Porsche 961 (as posted earlier, perhaps based on a 993, though they are $$$!)
3). Porsche 911 GT1 (Porsche 993 based, but I think Nick Dames can make one)
4). Something GT1-like from the 90s such as a Nissan R390 etc
I read in Total Kit Car this month that there is a company about to release Lambo Gallardo and Murcielago reps based on Boxsters! Now, i have no interest in having a Lambo based on a Boxster but with Boxsters dropping below £10k here now, it does make for an interesting doner, especially if you were looking for an engine/trans-x, wheels, suspension, dash etc for number 1-3 above!
I wonder what it would cost Nick to build his 911 GT1 replica in GRP instead of Carbon etc?
Keep up the excellent work Fran... Next time I am in the States, it would be nice to come up and take a look. I actually really love that mini CanAm style body you posted earlier in this thread... I might be interested in one at the right price as *another* side project!
