A lot of those sites use Fchat as a "source", sometimes with screen captures. Kinda creepy IMO. This thread in particular has been on numerous websites, Fast Lane Daily, etc.

A few errors in that one. As I've said this car will not race under NART banner. The NART rendering was done by Michael on his own a while ago and was simply his fanciful idea as to how the car could look long before I seriously began investigating the possibility of building it. I do think Michael has mad skills.
Thanks. Better be quick with your official info package, Jim! The world wants to see the actual Scuderia Glickenhaus P4/5 Competizione.
Come to think of it... if you're seriously looking for sponsorship, would it be a good idea to set up your own website for the P4/5 Competizione so that you can control the release of information? (I'm still not even halfway through this thread for the P4/5 yet!) All the best, Andrew.
Just to stay on track. P 4/5 Competizione would be built on a Ferrari Chassis and be powered by a Ferrari V 12. She would not be Enzo/FXX/MCC based. Our first race would be the 24 Hours of Nurburing. She would run under my Families Scuderia Shield not NART's. (Scuderia SG) (Cameron-Glickenhaus) She would remain in her Sponsor livery and could run additional races. When her racing days are done she'd visit many events. Once again this is dependent on obtaining sponsorship. I remain hopefull.
Ultimatecarpgae are reporting it will be powered by a 333sp engine! Jim, are there many spare engines floating around? How easy/hard will it be to source parts for the engines? What about technicians? It also mentiones an existing rolling chassis too. Dare i say F430 or 458 since you have already said it won't be Enzo/FXX based?

This is fantastic news. Congratulations Jim on this undertaking. The Nurburgring 24 hours is a tough race. I wonder if this should all be in a seperate thread. The P4/5 Competizione thread. The Competizione will anyway be a totally different car to your P4/5 "stradale" apart from the sihlouette. Jim, your thoughts?
They are speculating that it might be based on the 458 Italia... obviously they didn't get your status update post this morning lol
Jim's stated that it'll have a V12-- so my money would be Glickenhaus-ified 599. Doubt he wants to redesign the 430 or 458 chassis. Too difficult and costly.
