Give up a 991 GT3 for a Superformance GT40?

[SFSDFGT]

I think this clown must be the same dude who went by the handle Luke Warmwater, one of the most prolific trolls in recent history on the Ford GT forum. Constantly telling us all how inferior the FGT is compared to his Superformance GT40. Granted, I really dig his GT40. But the only way for the $hitshow to end is to completely ignore him.

I agree and although was going to have some fun, I am done.

The OP asked a pretty simple question. Maybe we should go back to that?
Just trying to get things back on track here..

GT3: Great car and I could drive it all day every day

SPF GT40: That would be one for weekends, cars and coffee and the occasional weekend race run.

A CAV or RCR?: Ya gotta to to to the track!!

A real GT40?: If you have to ask, well.......

It's pretty simple

Forget the real one. You can't afford it and not even then are they out in the wild.

If you want a civilized car that you can take as needed to the grocery store, not every week, but to get some ice cream stay with the GT3. Heck, it probably even has a trunk you can put a suitcase in.

If you want something that will scare the hell of you on turns, rumble your guts when you stomp on it and need both feet on the brakes to stop from full throttle, can't turn on cold pavement unless you're moving, and can't take a suitcase to the hotel, then get the GT40 (replica).

The suggestion of a Daytona Coupe as a slightly more civilized but equally brutal beast is a good one. Take out the spare tire and you can actually put in luggage for a weekend trip.

What is scary about a GT40 in turns? Compared to an FGT the GT40 provides much more direct feedback. I've driven them both plenty.

Bernie and this other gentleman I don't expect a peep out of either you since you're both done.

Luke Warmwater? That's awesome.

Ya, sure his GT40 replica is really nice, but I just cannot fathom painting it the color of my refrigerator and installing a 302/4bbl like what came installed from the factory in '68 Mustang. Where's the imagination in that?

There's a plethora of engine possibilities today starting with a 331 to 460 cubic inches, maybe more, maybe less. And then there are 100,000,000 colors you can pick in the spectrum for your replica, and you pick white?

If I'm making a bucket list of cars I'd want in my garage, the Ford GT is one of them. The SPF is great car, but it will always be just a replica. Just like my Kirkham. A purchase that requires a special kit car exemption from the CA DMV to be legally driven here on the roads.
