We had lunch today at the local Houfbrau in Redwood City.
Right across the street is a new auto dealer that is selling the GT 40's made in South Africa. They had GT 40's, Daytona Cobras as well as normal Cobras in stock. I went over there with my mechanical genius friend Paul, who really does know what he is doing, and we were both very very impressed. They had 5 GT 40's in stock. These cars are being build under license from whoever (Ford I guess) using the original designs, but updated for all new things, like brakes, etc. These SuperPerformance cars are simly beautiful, where ever you look. And at $75,000 for a roller an absoulte steal. All you have to do is put in a motor and transmission and your away. After you see one of these cars, you will never use the word "kit car" again. I got to build one of these with an all aluminum 427 with about 600hp. Probably a good hillclimb car at only 2200#'s. Those aluminum 427's weigh less than 400# and can put out 575hp or more. Big slicks, 2200#, 600HP, mid engine with great brakes and suspension. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)  |
