Hi

   CHEETAH's had limited suspension travel and noncompliant springing I have heard. I always loved the style of the bodywork though!

    The SCARAB's (except for the F1) were beautiful too in books, never saw one in person.

     Ciao!

Hmmmm - Scarab knok offs.  If they are doing the real thing - they will put about 700 hours in the aluminum gas tank alone.  That thing fit in-between all the frame rails and triangulations.  Almost, but not quite, a shame to put a body on it - - - that is until you see the body - then Wowsers.

 

The Cheetah?  Um, watched them race at RRI.  Um, uh, not bad not bad - had a big Chevy using  Rochester FI with two intakes - one in front of the other mounted on top of the FI manifold box.  Looked like two four bbl's mounted up there.  Poor old cars didn't seem to handle that well - coulda been the lot boy taking it about to break in the engine - ??

Onward
