R Nov 18, 2002 #1 I'm not sure if this is the right part of the forum to ask this question, but what is a ballpark figure for a Roaring Forties GT40, with the 302 engine? I should know this, but I honestly have no idea.

M Mark Worthington Nov 18, 2002 #2 I believe Robert Logan has posted that the typical finished RF40 weighs in around 2,300 lb. Use the search feature to verify this.

J Julian West Dec 4, 2002 #4 FWIW my GTD (302) with iron heads, AC, 1/2 tank of fuel & all fluids weighed in at 1147 KG.
R Robert Logan Defunct Manufactuer - Old RF Company Dec 5, 2002 #5 Julian, She needs to go on a diet !!!!! Our last two cars with 52 ltrs of fuel and all the bells and whistles were both at 1070kg. I know the GTD cars and they are well built with strong chassis (factor of safety). Best wishes, Robert

J Julian West Dec 6, 2002 #7 Robert, Yes, it's a very heavy car. I'm not sure how much weight I can save by changing ancilliaries & maybe removing air-con. It appears most of the weight is built into the chassis & the rear deck.
