Superformance GT-40

[427Aggie]

Go back and listen to the announcer again..Brock stated that the car was built in SA and the only company he knows of over there is SPF...didn't say it was built by SPF just only company he knows from over there is SPF.

The information on the GT40 site is really good...right now the price point is quoted as 50K minus engine and transmission. The reason for the difference in price on the 40 and coupe is explained very well...

The coupe is expected to be a limited selling car....IE Spread development costs over fewer vehicles...the 40 (which if they do have most of the CAV 40 group) cost much less to develop and they expect to sell many many more care ie the development cost is spread over many more vehicles.

I can't wait..unfortunately it looks like they are going to do the MKII first which is the big block car....I want the MKI in gulf colors with a rip snorting 331 w/webbers...that will be a later option.

Bernie in answer to your question...I believe the Roaring Forties comes as a kit...the SPF 40 will come just like their cars...fully painted by the factory...you just drop in your engine and transaxel...there is also talk that SPF is making a T44 transmission but on the 40's site they say the car should be able to handle the ZF or the Audi box as well...the T44 would be more for the BB cars.

Can you tell I am obsessed with this car
