Bevin,

If JBL were to do a GT-40 it would have to be a modern design.

I mean chassis dynamics and aero.

JBL will never make a copy of the GT-40 as that is 40 year old stuff and there are plenty of folks in that space.

Ant,

JBL will certainly do a "next" generation car one of these days. (If we are still interested and the market is reasonable.) but it will be awhile and it will certainly be much more expensive then the current unit.

John,

You are correct. The gearbox is of interest. The Jerico is a pretty good unit and should fit without modification. (From dimensions that I have seen).

The Richmond unit is too large and the external linkage is really a problem as the tunnel is not wide enough.

Hewland makes a very nice unit as well. The MVE-STA .
