Notes |
11-24-01: This car is apart right now, and I am going to put it up for sale, as I have returned to school and don't have the time or funds to put it back together.
3-2-01: I have owned this car since 1979. I have been researching the newer gtp cars, ie. Porsche 962, Lola T600, etc. The design is so similiar, the main updates to the body over the mirage is the extending of the tail section incorporating a wing, and the shortening of the front nose. I have been thinking of making these "updates" to my mirage, as I am sure that if Brad LoVette were still here, he would have updated the car by now. The original design is nice, but very dated, you look at
the current gtp cars, and you see how much nicer and more functional they are in design. Anyone that has any input or ideas, feel free to contact me. |
