[DeTomaso] Rare De Tomaso Parts?

[Julian Kift]

Chris Melia in the UK is the guy behind this (driven by lack of ZF availability for GT40's) he has formed GT Transmissions Ltd. Here's a link to Quaife's web page;

According to Chris the current ZFQ is rated to 600HP and 550 ft/lbs torque. A number are racing in relpica GT40's as test mules. The new dog engagement version will be rated for higher HP/torque but will carry additional cost.

As an aside GT Transmissions/Quaife have also just announced that dog engagement and straight cut gear versions will be available in 2009 for track/competition use. That makes a sequential change option a viability. Maybe we'll see some ZFQ's in Pantera's before too long.Wonder if Quaife also inclues their Torsen-type LSD in the ZFQs? Better than the clutch-type LSD in ZFs and low friction so it doesn't heat the lube= less need for diff coolers.
