While the coupe and GT40 are called "touring" cars, they are anything but, and you will be crying uncle after driving/riding in them for more than 2-3 hours (which by the way, coinicides with the time to empty the gas tank at highway speeds)

I wonder if you have ever really been in a GT40? I drove my SPF MK II last Sunday a total of 375 miles in 5 hours to attend the Watkins Glen Vintage Grand Prix and I was relaxed and comfortable all the time. The ride surprises everyone, it is firm but not harsh and while there is "clunking" via the steel on steel suspension, the AC kept me comfy at 80 degrees and I had some iced tea in the cooler to drink despite no cupholders!.This is a car that even my wife will ride in!

We did some laps and then drove home [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-J27gEco5ak&feature=youtu.be[/ame]


If you are unsure come and visit me for a ride and drive and THEN decide if a GT is for you.
