For me, the GT40 kit car is the cat's ass

 

I'm partial to the 356 Speedster kits...

 

I was going to say essentially the same thing, only choosing the Porsche 550 speedster replica.

There is a company (Automotive Legends) that does their own purpose-built reproductions of the 550 spyders to the specifications and quality that match or surpass the original. I like the fact they try to use parts that carry the same theme and genetics of the original Porsche spyder.

If I get to that point where having such a toy is possible, this is one company and car I would strongly consider.

1255 lbs
---------- = 8.37 lbs/hp (for reference the S2000 is about 12lbs/hp)
150 hp

 

Is this the same company that builds the Carrera GTS (904) replica, but with more interior room than the original?

 

I think Automotive legends is out of business. There are a few others that build replicas but man they aren't cheap.
