Oh, and don't worry about death threats from this crowd, Adrian. As you well know, building something that beats Porsches is far more likely to happen here than actual Porsche ownership, unless an old one was raised from the dead. Plus, you built a real compelling argument.

If you read the books by Horsman and Wyer about the GT40 days, it seemed that Porsche was their own worst enemy. Gulf Racing had three cars. Porsche built dozens every year and never seemed to race the same one twice. They were constantly dealing with problems in the new cars instead of working out the bugs.

and it must remain as casted... no machining away 85% of it and changing the original configuaration

See Volvo racing(was it 80s, or 90s) and their $100,000 "stock head"
