You might try Speedsport in Danbury. I think of them as a Porsche shop, but they did amazing work on a Connecticut friend’s 2006 Heritage GT when they couldn’t find the right parts for the transmission.

What kind of GT--2005/2006 or a NFGT? Also, how far north in Fairfield Cty? Are you talking Greenwich, or Sherman?

It costs about $5,000 to $6,000 per hour to run a race car. About $2,000 per hour in tires alone (this may be a dated number), so driving a real race car isn't for the faint of wallet! There's a big, big cost leap between a GT4 and a 911 Cup car, which is why the dedicated track toys have such...

Fantastic car, but to be fair it IS limited use. Not streetable and not really a racer (no spec series, etc.). But it is a lotta car for the money, and for the right buyer, a steal!

Amazing work! Would love to see photos from the whole process, either posted here or some sort of link. What's the ETA for a finished car? Kenneth

New, much larger facility. There is a lot of activity around the turbo and DLS, but I think they were only going to to do ~ 450 of the original, 964 based Singers...which isn't a lot! Perhaps they've got some additional products in the pipeline, which will require all that space. Stay tuned!

Nice drone tour of the Singer factory. Worth a watch!

Not street legal (at least not in the USA). But other than that, great idea! Wonder what the import duties would be on something like that... :unsure:

Came across this car for sale: https://www.racecarsdirect.com/Advert/Details/152411/ford-gt-gt3-matech?Published_by_Mike_Walters&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR3odD8bMZskOou6UDG-BuLM8yRCiTsdQ4nyyF-o9yBbBfTBbpEoJVzBxfs_aem_GAKdHmNT7d7WN1HKSAjdlA

When I bought my first GT, the difference was about $40k for a Heritage. And I thought the same thing--20% more for blue paint? As an "investment", that would have been the way to go, obviously. But I wanted the traditional American racing colors of white w/blue stripe, and I've been happy...

One of my favorite racing jokes: Q; How is racing a Ferrari Challenge car and a spec Miata alike? A: It’s impossible to do $30,000 of damage!

Without mods, the 2005-2006 Ford GT isn't that great on the track. It's heavy and getting it to turn is...difficult. That said, thundering down the straight is amazing! I've had a 2005 GT on track in NY and also in Utah. Loads of fun, but definitely a (beautiful) GT car and not a race car...

Did not see that one coming! We looked at doing an investment in Singer--neat company, but in the end small volume, with a high dependency on specialized labor (and a finite supply of 964 chassis). Still, if Raj can get me a "friends and family" price I'm all ears! ;) Kenneth

seriously? I saw that was happening, but thought it was mostly indycar stuff. Congratulations!
