Is this a GT40? - Senor_Taylor - 10-25-2013
A friend of mine back home tweeted to me that he had a GT40 behind him on 29 today. I without even thinking, said "No... you didn't." You don't see GT40s on the road. Like an A/C Cobra, it's just too rare to street, especially for where we live. No one has that kind of money. I told him it had to be a GT or a kit car. He sent me this picture.

Now, it does look a whole lot like a GT40, but something seems off. It definitely looks more like a GT40 than a GT and I can't judge the size of it either. It's not a good picture to base it off of.
I'm thinking it's a kit car, What do you guys think?

Without seeing up close, probably a kit car. Doesn't look like a GT.

99% chance that is a Superformance (or CAV, or RCR, or...) GT40 replica.

RJ said he saw a GT40 kit car recently, so they are around.

GT40 for sure, could be replica though.

It could be, looks like you can buy a legit one in the 150k range, which is pretty cheap for the NoVA area:

Yes and it looked/sounded fucking awesome.
Fuck authenticity, I'd drive the shit out of one of those.

What do they have in them, usually?

QFT, seriously I dont understand the hate of replicas. 2x the fun (no worry about stuffing a valuable car) for 1/10th the price :thumbup:

Well unfortunately the original GT40s were built for midgets, so you and I are out of luck DJ.
the reborn Ford GT is definitely my win-the-lottery car though. someday...maybe.....
