    Would you swap the road car for an LM ?
    Do you think having both is useless ?

    Once you drive a real LM chassis, you can't go back to the street version.
    It's a totally different car from A to Z. I had many opportunity to drive on long run a street version (1500 miles in 20 hours) and I can tell you that the LM version is still more fun to run. Got to go without heater and AC and live with the noise but what the heck that's what this is all about.
    I might have been to only guy crazy enough to have done so many miles with the LM on the road..I love it and would go back to a street

    Roland, is your LM nose an exact copy of Benny's? Does it lift off or can you tilt it forward. I have the LM GTE Tail and wing. How much for a nose?

    The LM front clip is totaly differnt from the stock. You have to slide the nose toward the front, than the extractor is accessible. My front is a copy of Benny's GTE. Remember that the radiator is in a different position and also quiet different in size.
    The sway bar is on top and not under the axle. The air jack is locate there too
