Killer! I had a Cheetah slot car as a kid, eventually went with a lower 910 P car body.

It's a reproduction, but very nicely done. Looks like it would be a handful to drive...

Amazing how close that layout gets the motor to the center of the wheelbase. Taking into account the transmission, it would seem like it might have near a 50/50 weight distribution.

i thought it was difficult getting in and out of a beck spyder with the roof up. this looks like a tad more bending and flexing. smallest doors i've ever seen.

That is totally outlandish and way cool at the same time. I do miss the good old fashioned muscle car torque and exhaust but I don't know if I could drive a car with the front in a different zip code than the driver's seat (same holds true for the old Jags).

1550 pounds propelled by a small-block Chevy V-8.

Prolly a tad faster than my ITS class 944.

got to talk to a driver @ Road America a year or two ago. Great power to weight, sexy looks, but... Same wheel base as a sprint car. The driver said it was great fun, but VERY busy to drive.
