G'day.
That stunning RCR was built and owned by GT40s.com member http://www.gt40s.com/forum/members/pantera1889.html
From memory he had a pretty good build log on the forum, that would likely answer all or most of your questions.
Cheers.
Steve.

William,
It was the standard "narrow" RCR MK1 body with 10" rear wheels and 26.5X 9.5 X 15
Hoosier tires.( 225/50/15 fronts on 8" wheels)
It was primarilly a track car
but saw its fair share of street miles as well.
It had a ex- NASCAR dry sump engien that made 670hp and also had a ZF gearbox.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hello Pantera1889,
Gorgeous ride. Narrow rear end? Photos are deceiving as it looks like it is flared and with 12 inch wheels. Perhaps it is the Hoosiers that give it a beefy look.
What did you like best about it and the least?
This is a custom paint colour?
What options did it have?
What is the ride height?
William, here is a build thread on Ron's RCR.
I suspect all your questions will be answered therein:

I think Ron had some valve spring issues at one time but other than that it seemed pretty reliable...
Ron,
After driving with nearly 700 hp, what do you think the limits are with the chassis in terms of power?
Do you think the car is still drivable with 1000 hp?
Your 360 C.I cup engine uses rpm to build power (I assume) and it looked from track videos that you had no trouble putting the power down. Is it safe to assume a 1000 hp but torquey engine would make the car too much?
