Reply to "Question for those who are familiar with the European GTS"

Very interesting discussion.

I couldn't help but notice that there are components in this illustration that are probably intended for racing, such as the roll cage and the vented rear rotors?

I'd take a guess that the front spacer is probably suggested for competition...of some sort?

I'd also make an educated guess that the spacer there is a 1/2" thick. Looking at my car, I'd expect some kind of interference with that as is (without flares). Probably 1/4" thick would work though?

My thought is that I'm not sure that you need to increase the front track for a handling improvement? Since I don't race and haven't tried every combination, that is just speculation though.

Still a fun thought to consider.

I'm with Ron on the longer studs thought. I would expect those to be shown in the diagram as well as different front calipers to go with the thicker rotors? No calipers shown?

The Gp3 used big ugly non-stock iron Girlings. There are aluminum calipers eventually offered but apparently the aluminum Girling 18-4 and 16-4 units don't appear for the Pantera until sometime AFTER the factory raced the Gp4 cars in 72-73 although they seem to be on everything else but the Pantera?

They are on a couple of the Gp4 cars but might be "aftermarket" additions. That is still unclear at this point.

Example. The GT40 was called the Gulf in the '68 season. It was run with the Aluminum Girlings, and a Boss 302 also. Lola T70 used them. Porsche as well.

Are there more illustrations that go with that one George?
