This was a doctor who was telling me how the Porsche dealer could not find an occasional, intermittent drip from his sunroof...............that is when I asked the "water resistant" question. We both decided a GT40 was not likely his best choice. And it saved a car from going on the resale market at fire sale price because he was "disappointed" so we both dodged a bullet.
Yes I have driven my car in the rain. And yes, I got wet despite our additional seal kits and time spent tracking down and eliminating water intrusion points. This is a 1960's race car and in the 60's race drivers got wet! We can make the intrusion manageable (i.e. no longer need to punch drain holes in the floor) but a totally dry GT40 is a GT40 in the Sahara.....in a garage....wrapped in plastic.
And the spot everyone thinks will leak the most, the roof cutouts, generally seal pretty well!
