Hi Frank, as far as how similar the cars are, they are really not. Although
they look similar and the GT6 just looks like a fastback couple version of the
Spitfire, its anything but. Very few parts the same although some interior
stuff is, but all kinds of small differences even there. Biggest differences
of course are engine, gearbox, suspension, brakes. Fully independent rear
suspension on the MkIII GT6. Most of the bodywork is different as well with
both large and small differences, although they look similar.
The biggest difference, though, if you are setting up classes, are numbers.
Many Spitfires out there, very common and some very nice ones. GT6s are much
more uncommon. If they were combined in the same class, would a GT6 ever win,
just due to sheer numbers of Spitfires?
My 2 cents.
Good luck with your show.
