Hmmmmmmm,
I have not driven the Ford GT sat in one but I own a Superformance GT-40 licensed by Saphir to be a GT-40 painted in heritage colors ( Gulf Livery). The GT is a great performance car but different in every way from the original GT-40. The man who owns the GT also has a CAV GT-40 and his comments on comparing the two are precision & huge performance and I agree since I drove this car (GT-40) vs Comfort & brute force power- unknown to me since I did not drive this one (GT).
I do not have it on the road since I have been sorting out some issues getting the gearing in the transaxle I wanted. The ZF transaxle (Same as the GT) comes with a 4:22 or 4:56 ring gear and with the standard
5th gear the engine would be turning 3300 -3600 RPM in 5th. I have finally got the 3:77 ring gear and a lower 5th gear that would let me cruise at 2300-2400 RPM in fifith.
TBD is what the top end speed will be--- no limiters in this GT-40. It has full underbody fairing and is a very close replica (90% of the parts are compatible) of the original Mark I.
I will post some performance stats once I get it all together later this year.
