Superformance does not build a "race" version of the MK III. We do offer an "R" version GT40 set up for vintage racing but Dennis Olthoff's GT40 is not one. That said, Dennis has done numerous modifications, roll cage, brake ducts, etc. to turn the prototype street MK II into a vintage racer.

Mark IV - thanks for the info. Probably beginners luck (obviously kidding here - not trying to start a war!) Great driving, great car.
Cashburn - tell me more about the "just a well built SMALL BLOCK FORD". Is it in the same league as the Roush 427SR?
