Well hello Hershal,
Thank you for the kind words.
My name is Scott Calabro, I am the new Tornado USA sales rep.
I must admit I really didn't know about this forum! I've heard my fellow forum members at GT40's.com speak of "another" forum. This must be the place!
The US TS40 demo car will be based in the northeast US. When it arrives from England, its build will be fully documented. As you have stated, Tornado sells a Delux Component Package, that includes EVERYTHING needed to complete the car. Less engine, brake fluid & battery, and of course body prep and paint. Andy Sheldon is also planning on offering several competitively priced packages just for the US market, to be clearly "apples to apples" if you will, with other mfg's.
Currently, the TS40 demo will be a Delux Component Package car with several options. 1 3/4" bundle of snakes, anti-roll bars, Wilwood brakes (with integral p-brake), foam filled fuel tanks, dual fuel pumps and filters, eng.
oil cooler, single vent front hatch, US DOT APPROVED KNOCK OFF's, chrome plated wishbone & suspension links, and Helicopter ball vents. It will be powered by a high revving, high compression, long rod 289 with 44IDF's.
It will also have a UN1 transaxle that is included with the kit.
Oh, and it will be right hand drive / right hand shift.
