I drove a mk V gt40 rhd on the street for about an hour. It sucked. Besides being hard to see behind you in the first place, making a left turn is dicey unless you wait for the light to go truly red and opposing traffic stops. That just invited impatient horn honkers to do their thing.

Yeah, performance sure was exciting like a 914-6 on super steroids (494 all aluminum with about 650 hp ) , but I could not wait to get out of it.
Otherwise,On the track, it was a blast

Also, have you sat in the seat and checked out the pedal box area space? I have not been in a roaring forties, but the CAV gt-40 (built in South Africa and no it is not the same as a Superformance) has a tiny space. I swear its smaller than a Lotus Europa. Fine if you have tiny feet, but it will be a beotch being comfortable with it.
