Give up a 991 GT3 for a Superformance GT40?

I'm not saying I would use them (Craft), but that ad was easy to grab. We have a CC member who had a nice 289/302 built for his 289 Cobra for a lot less than $10K. We had an Australian member build a $60K Cammer for his Kirkham. I can tell you guys this, if I'm going to spend $20K on a SBF, then it better be a stroker, say like a 331, with some fancy induction setup, Carillo rods and a Moldex crank.

All this GT40 talk has me thinking again. I just have to keep reminding myself that sitting in a GT40 felt like having an MRI done in one of those claustrophic tubes.

I can understand replacing your engine with something else, but repainting the entire GT40? Why?

Red to white.

And you don't like MRIs? H@ll I fall asleep with all of the buzzing, clanking, etc. Last one for my shoulder I was bummed when they rolled me out as I was getting the best nap I have had in some time.

You either really "get" the GT40 or you don't. I miss mine. However, I took a neighbor who has had numerous Corvettes for a ride and didn't make it quarter mile before he begged to turn around, he is claustrophobic and the small cabin and lack of roll down windows freaked him out!
