I have driven that track in my viper... lotta fun and high speeds on the oval.

I can't speak to the GT in particular but I'm sure you are aware that diffusers, in general, allow a more rapid exit of the air which is flowing under the car. This decreases lift and improves stability as speed increases. I do not know the shape of the curve (car velocity vs. air pressure...

Pay the 4K for the first year, if you can get it... then find the best company/rate.

Gary Almond transported my GT... he know's what he's talking about. For anyone looking for a transporter who will treat your car the way it should be, Gary's the guy :thumbsup

I hope you guys all checked the odometer before dropping them off!

I am one of those.

Thanks for the info Eric. The history of these models is intriguing.

Sounds like you had fun. Mine won't get to the track till late spring. Interesting comment regarding the ground effects... the car has gone to 212 with same package. Regardless, it's not a good feeling when you experience it. Did you find all the gears quickly? This shifter just seems a little...

Thanks for sharing. Excuse my ignorance but which version of the GT40 is that? BTW, looks chilly! Ray

I'm gonna order one... thanks for the tip on the logo Chris. Ray

Dave, which one of their covers did you buy?
