With the Ford GT out and about for 125,000(if you can get it at that price) why not get something a little more true to the original? A company out in Africa, known as Superformance, makes a replica of the orginal Le Mans winning Ford GT40 (yes, the original 40 inch tall monstrousity). It was designed with help from the original design crew, and the parts are 90% interchangeable with the original car, with the other 10% being modernized brakes, suspension, air conditioning, and other comforts. It even has the Gurney bubble on the driver-side scissor door (Dan Gurney was a tall guy, so they had to put a small bulge in the roof of his GT40 so he could fit in it with his helmet). And you can have it for a total of about $90,000(with the 480 hp Roush 427). Not to mention they are built off an assembly line to aircraft standards precision, so you don't have to worry about it being a fall-apart kitcar. So, which would you go for? The Retro Ford GT, or the near exact (they're actually seeing if it'll be approved for vintage racing) Superformance GT40?
