Is this the only GTP body for a 200mm pan car?

Hi, Guys.

I've been posting in several places that I have been in contact with PROTOform about this. Dale is considering a post-production run of the Porsche 911 GTP 200mm body. However, the industry trend appears to be away from GTP and into front-engine style bodies. Industry needs to shake itself out and when they do, there will be more bodies produced. At this point, however, everyone's trying to figure it out.

That started with touring cars. Pan cars have been around way longer.

7 15/16" is pretty close to 200mm, so that's what you want, rather than the 235mm bodies. I too am looking for a 200mm GTP body as my pan car is also Super Speedway like Shane's.

opps i guess that should have been i think they are measured in mm, i guess the days of asking for a 7 15/16 body was before my time!

Before touring cars, it was easy.

Pan cars were all wide, then the super speedway cars came out, so there was then wide and narrow.

Now, with touring cars, you have to specify a width -- that's much more complicated!
