The car was surprisingly fast, keeping in mind that the design of the suspension and everything is from the sixties.

So fast that, once I was confident with the car and driving faster, the oil pressure dropped alarmingly in some turns.

In the moment we are looking for a dry sump system that fits in the car wink

I was looking through almost every available GT 40 picture to select the color biggrin

And because it was intended to drive this baby on the race track, a friend of mine suggested to use white as the base color.
When you damage the car and have to repair it, you don't see colour differences so clearly with white biggrin

To the specs, the engine is a 7 litre Ford small block with 600 hp and 780 Nm torque.
I don't know what really remains from the horsepower, taking into account a big silencer and a little bit too small exhaust tubes.
And we limited the rpm to about 5000 for the first race track visit.

But it is fun to drive smile

And also on the highway you can keep up easily with modern sports cars.
