@@luisdelaroca6314 No real difference in handling between the 3. A little more rear grip with the Extra Widebody MKI with the 3" wider wheels in the back. The MKII has more room in the engine bay to accommodate the big block engine and extra scoops on the rear clam shell to keep it cool.

Worked on Porsche for some years (12??) back in the late 80's and 90's. One thing I loved about them ( and I loved many, many things about them ) Was that they did not have power brakes or power steering. When people asked me about it I would always say "you can run over a dime and tell if it's heads or tails". We serviced a few race cars and they were, as he said, visceral. Loud, in your face, tight and mechanical. Good times but my dream car is a GT40 with an FE big block 427 side oiler.

We spent all day moving around the track and watching the racing i can remember the GT40's lapping all the other cars and flashing the Porsche's to move over so they could pass it was brilliant. i wanted so much to drive one my dad asked why i had a large picture of a car on my bedroom wall and i had to explain to him that this was no ordinary race car this was a FORD GT 40 nope still don't get it. oh well i guess there are just some things you cant explain they either get it or they don't i fell in love with the car on that day it was my 4 wheeled hero. I had a highly tuned 63 mk1 Cortina at the time [tuned by me] which i used to blatt around in [well at least it was a Ford] and i actually touched a GT40 once at a car show these cars are legend and deserve to be so.

I imagine it would say Superformance GT40, color then year. But that’s just me.

Every state does if differently. Some states will title the car by what it replicates, so 196X Ford and some title it as a new "Specially Constructed Vehicle." Varies from state to state but can be registered legally in all 50 states.

I’ve been a Ford guy since the late 1970s. I hope super formance never goes out of business and continues to make these cars. My pet peeve was at the Daytona, the Shelby cobra 427 and the GT 40 were very limited production cars and expensive. They’re still not cheap but at least some people can buy them.

With the Daytona there were only 6 made so good luck to anyone trying to buy one of those...I love what Superformance does to give us regular guys a shot at owning a great replica
