New 50th Anniversary GT-40 Continuation

[trularin]

Too bad it is Superformance...damn car is too small.

I sat in four or five of them before I decided to run with RCR. I am just too tall. When I asked Superformance if there could be some adjustment for a taller person, they were rather curt and said, "no".

I view this as Ford's car. Their continuation series is the Ford GT...and to be avaialbe in 2016 the new version as shown on episode 106 of Leno's Garage.

If you want to see a truly rare GT40, Leno drives the 289 street version down the street.

Just my opinion.

I tell people it is built like the original and thus has the plusses and minuses of the original!

When I asked Superformance if there could be some adjustment for a taller person, they were rather curt and said, "no".

Please do not lump "Superformance" in general to the person you talked to. I can send you to several dealers who will be genial and can make adjustments to accommodate larger/taller people. Again not everyone will fit but I have a 6'4" customer driving a MK I. I don't know who was "curt" to you and don't need/want to know so you don't need to call them out here, but I know most dealers will take all the time you want to ensure you are comfy with both the car and the process.

I hope you enjoy the heck outta your RCR. As I have said often "the best car is the car you like and can buy"

I have a SPF GT40 with a 6'5" owner. It depends on your body type, i.e. long torso vs. long legs. Long legs are easier to accommodate than a very tall torso. You can take foam out of the seat as they are just laid in the tub so easy to custom form to fit you.

Thanks for the reply. I'm more leg than torso but I'm going to have them measure
from seat to roof to see if it's worth flying out for a fit test.

Where are you? We may have an owner that will let you try the fit out.

Salt Lake. Work out of LA and see there is a new one in North LA, might be able
to get by and check it out.
