this is my dream car or the Daytona you guys build i used to come around your Boise ID location aka 2007-8 smiling ear to ear looking at the chassis you had even got to see come corvettes n stuff in the back. it was awesome! i swear i will get one until then ill just squint really really hard when i get in my c6 and pretend its a datona haha🤣

Are the chassis $80,000 now….? OK I guess I never will get one

@oler777 3 ай бұрын

I thought they were $20-$30,000 still but if it cost that much without an engine there’s no way I could buy one I could give you my entire fleet of cars and it wouldn’t make a dent in anything

Stunning looking car... I go to see GT40`s race at The Goodwood Revival here in the UK... Absolutely awesome cars and they deserve all the podiums the get. And the sound. Oh My God... The sound they make when they are driven in anger is other worldly.❤‍🩹

The sound and driving experience is truly intoxicating!

You had me at gold wheels.

Vinny is the man! He represents the dedication of a Superformance owner, he was addicted from the day he got his first car.

Why no 427 side-oiler? Can you build one to accept that engine? PS, Never mind. I saw it is available for the 427 SO. Nice.

Glad that this info was there for you, the engine options are pretty wide in these cars!

How do you title these cars? I live in New Jersey and I built a factory five cobra and since it was “specialty constructed” I had to jump through hoops and get it inspected to legally drive on the road.

@downforce-motorsports 2 ай бұрын

Each chassis comes with a certificate of origin and we can talk you through the process of titling, we are not 100% sure about New Jersey but our experience is that it's very easy to title since the cars are built in a factory with a chassis/serial number assigned in the factory.

Did you recreate the chassis as per the original or did you re-engineer it?

@downforce-motorsports 3 ай бұрын

The Superformance GT40 chassis is very true to the original and shares MANY parts with the original cars from the 60's.

I'd like to know comparably how an upgraded gt40 like this one shown can compete with the average modern track car. I assume braking and shifting losses would be its only real disadvantage. Have looked for a good average track time to compare but haven't found.

@downforce-motorsports 2 ай бұрын

We can pull some data from an Optima event to show times as they compare to some of our friend's more modern rides! Thanks for the suggestion!
