    Stunning looking car... I go to see GT40`s race at The Goodwood Revival here in the UK... Absolutely awesome cars and they deserve all the podiums the get. And the sound. Oh My God... The sound they make when they are driven in anger is other worldly.❤‍🩹

      Are the chassis $80,000 now….? OK I guess I never will get one

      @oler777 9 місяців тому

      I thought they were $20-$30,000 still but if it cost that much without an engine there’s no way I could buy one I could give you my entire fleet of cars and it wouldn’t make a dent in anything

    I have a Superformance GT 40, a 2005 Ford Gt and a 2021 new Ford GT
    This is a strong statement on how good a design the GT 40 was as the following cars were based on the original car,
    looking similar to the GT 40, in other words gorgeous looking

    Makes me wonder why if they have been breaking trans axles they didn’t fix it long ago ? Or why they couldn’t be rebuilt at your local transmission shop there’s lots of great one ..

    How do you title these cars? I live in New Jersey and I built a factory five cobra and since it was “specialty constructed” I had to jump through hoops and get it inspected to legally drive on the road.

    • @downforce-motorsports
      @downforce-motorsports  8 місяців тому

      Each chassis comes with a certificate of origin and we can talk you through the process of titling, we are not 100% sure about New Jersey but our experience is that it's very easy to title since the cars are built in a factory with a chassis/serial number assigned in the factory.

    Why no 427 side-oiler? Can you build one to accept that engine? PS, Never mind. I saw it is available for the 427 SO. Nice.

    Did you recreate the chassis as per the original or did you re-engineer it?

    • @downforce-motorsports
      @downforce-motorsports  9 місяців тому

      The Superformance GT40 chassis is very true to the original and shares MANY parts with the original cars from the 60's.

    I'd like to know comparably how an upgraded gt40 like this one shown can compete with the average modern track car. I assume braking and shifting losses would be its only real disadvantage. Have looked for a good average track time to compare but haven't found.

    • @downforce-motorsports
      @downforce-motorsports  8 місяців тому +2

      We can pull some data from an Optima event to show times as they compare to some of our friend's more modern rides! Thanks for the suggestion!

    The camera bump design should be more rounded off i keeping with the design of the other scoups.

      You’re 100% right! This is actually the prototype housing, the production unit is rounded and we have a full video of the production piece coming out this weekend!
