Which GT40?

While the coupe and GT40 are called "touring" cars, they are anything but, and you will be crying uncle after driving/riding in them for more than 2-3 hours (which by the way, coinicides with the time to empty the gas tank at highway speeds)

I wonder if you have ever really been in a GT40? I drove my SPF MK II last Sunday a total of 375 miles in 5 hours to attend the Watkins Glen Vintage Grand Prix and I was relaxed and comfortable all the time. The ride surprises everyone, it is firm but not harsh and while there is "clunking" via the steel on steel suspension, the AC kept me comfy at 80 degrees and I had some iced tea in the cooler to drink despite no cupholders!.This is a car that even my wife will ride in!

We did some laps and then drove home [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-J27gEco5ak&feature=youtu.be[/ame]


If you are unsure come and visit me for a ride and drive and THEN decide if a GT is for you.

I have had 6 Cobras and two GT40s but never a Daytona Couple. I never liked the roof line inside the car on a Coupe. Cobras were fun and clearly brute power, hot and loud. Gotta Love Um! I currently have a CAV GT40 #169 and it is an awesome car. Air condition is super cold, lots of power and handles and drives beautifully. The only issue you and your wife might have on a GT40 is getting in and out. Try one!

Gee what part of I said I was didn't you understand? The passenger side is uncomfortable for me. Your mileage may vary. I can drive almost anything like this but like I said it's a driver's experience, not a passenger. Did you RIDE or DRIVE?

My message to the OP is don't buy the car based on what people write here but what he and his wife experience in person.

....and maybe buy your GT?

I have driven my CAV, with a passenger, for hundreds of miles with no complaints.

Seems to me you have an agenda.
