Well after buying my GT40 about 18 months ago, I finally got to see it for the first time in person. There was a little problem with paperwork and I was only home for 2 weeks so I was not able to get it registered. 
I had to take it up the road, we will say to the inspection station, for about a total of 8 miles.
The gas in the car is a bit stale I think. It seemed to nose over at top revs. I actually could have bumped the limiter. Not sure. I know when you punch the throttle it responds quick. It has a good rush in the upper R's as well. It is a 306ci SBF with AFR heads and 8 stack MOTEC. It did have a little squeal that I believe is a the belt. I will look closer at that when I manage to get back to the US again. I am on a small 2 lane blacktop country road. It is kind of rough in places. There were a couple of the dips in the road that caused a scrape. Not the optimal road for a speed run. It still took it no time to reach 120 mph.
It will be registered next time and I can't wait to get it out on the road. It was a long wait, but I have a big smile.
Oh, it is definately limited in rear view. I will be looking for some larger mirrors. Guess it takes some getting used to. Driving with registration I probably wont be so worried about who is behind me LOL.
