I had to weigh in. I come from the computer industry, and I keep telling folks before you buy a computer, what are you going to do with it. gamers need/want high perf everything, while 'netters need fast 'net access.
If you are wanting a GT40 then a high performance engine with the right sound is necessary. As nice a 4 rotor turbo making 1000hp is, it would not seem "right" in a classic car like '40. Same with a diesel. Now a Radical SR8 or a Stohr WF1(which look just like the Audi R10) may be okay for the diesel as you are attempting to follow the model. Eventhough we have choices in building a vehicle, I can't see spending $50k to $100k or more to make a classic and then "b*stardize" it with an unusual powertrain. The car itself get you the attention. Also surf the net for *ugly* cars you will then get the picture of what many feel a diesel would do for the GT40.
Oh yeah. Check out the farmer channel for tractor racing, diesels can definitely make power. Just my 2 coins
