Has anyone seen one of these? What do you guys think of the design? It's pretty sleek-looking... (at least it sure is a lot better looking than that 'blast' thing...) It's just begging for a "real" chassis, and a decent engine..

Reminds me of a kitcar from about 15-20 years back called an Albar Sonic I think.

Rear end is very Porsche 928 ish!
Front is a mix Corvette and GTM.
Not bad.

reminds me of the newer style lotus elan, not sure on the lights though.

This car has been around for a lot of years. It seemed to disappear for a while. I also think that they built a tube-frame for this at one time. Don't know about other engines tho.

The lights are really not by cup o tea...

Looks like a general copy of the "Riot", which was a copy of the Sportech (one of the first BECs)

I know it's been around for a long time.. I can't find any build-sites for it though..


I think it's actually older than the Thunderranch Riot. When did they start making it? 1997? The Mania was first built in 1992... from what year is the Sportech? The only info I could find on that car was from a 1994 model...
