http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McLaren_M6A They were just space frames with fiberglass bodies and a Chevy V8. Granted, they were these things in a combination that did pretty damn well on the race track. The Manta Mirage, one of the most popular kit cars ever made, is a pseudo-okay knock-off: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manta_Mirage They aren't the best, however. There was a company called Marauder Cars whose replicas were faithful enough that they got certified for vintage racing. I've been next to one at the Vintage Races (didn't get to sit in it) and they're fucking works of art: http://www.kitcars.com/classifieds/addetails.asp?classified_... (they were active from '91 to around '97 or so; a shame because they also had a rippin' Lola T70 and a Porsche 917 that were also stupid accurate). There are finished versions of said-same available for not too much money, comparatively speaking: http://www.carpictures.com/McLaren/-M6-GT-by-Active-Power-Ca... http://www.mclaren69.com/coupe.html Along those lines, the one I keep toying with is a Factory Five GTM: http://www.factoryfive.com/table/ffrkits/GTM/GTMkit.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jofafHe5tlI (The GT Malan is just a GTM built by Alan Fuckhead) ...and then I realize that for the money of a finished GTM, my dad bought a fucking airplane and then I think maybe that's too much to spend on a car. http://www.airmodsflightcenter.com/forsale/N6984V#/sites/air...
