Hi Guy's,
Bill,
Thanks so much for the continued compliments.
My 15 inch BRM's have silver spokes with a polished rim, whereas 1027 had black Halibrands. I prefer the BRM wheel though:thumbsup:
Tom,
You're welcome!
I wanted to build our Deluxe Component Package to showcase how it really is a GT40 in a box, so mods were not in mind.
Yes this car has been lots of fun to build, all 116 days of it!
I am sure it will be a blast to drive.
My UN1-26 with 3:44 F/D, has no "Mods" either. It will work well with the 385HP 289 that is installed.
To your point on a 200 MPH UN1 equipped GT40, if you were to upgrade one, I don't see why 200 mph is not possible. What you really need for that is an engine capable of turning at or above 6770 rpm in 5th gear.
Assuming a 3:44 F/D, .76 5th gear, and a 26 inch tire.
Also assuming that I didn't make a math error!
The question is, where will you go 200 MPH on the road in Kent:stunned:
Keep saving Tom and we will put you in a carbon fiber mono GT40!

Today just some spot putty work on the rear clip.
