I've been a fan of the Stratos since the mid-70s, and a member of this forum since 2016 after learning about LB kits. I casually watched this forum from time to time, never quite being able to commit the time or money to the build process - then Covid hit. I began to seriously consider the STR kit, but by the time I decided to pull the trigger learned LB had suspended taking orders. So, over the past 4 years I've waited, been added to their 'Reserve List' for 2025 or 2026 production, informed that 'Turnkey-minus' is my only option (now the only configuration for shipment to the USA), and that I *may* be in line for a production slot in 2025. I'm hoping the new year will soon bring an email from LB with information on an upcoming production slot!
I've upped my membership here to allow more interaction with this group as I decide on the options for my build. I am hoping to get lots of suggestion/guidance from those on this forum! I'm leaning towards the Gp4 round arch but can't seem to decide on color scheme. While I would love to use a Ferrari engine, my initial searches have come up with nothing, and I suspect that option would prove to be unaffordable - but I would love to be proven wrong! An Alfa V6 would be my second choice, but I suspect that the Toyota V6 is what I will end up with due to availability and cost. But who knows what will turn up in the next year of two as I await my STR???
I would greatly appreciate any input with ideas/resources for this project. I expect it to be a fun one!
Happy New Year!
