It looks kind of like McLaren designed a Mark IV/F430 spyder hybrid. It has a lot of neat design qeues. Todays' kits are much more like production cars than what we used to see in the kit/replica market (although there still are some fiberglass oddities being produced to bolt onto a VW platform). Not to diminish Fran's craft, but it seems like today if you can dream it, it can be built, and built to high standards. Very exciting. BTW, is there a market for a BMW M1 replica? There are a lot of 3.4l Porsche motors out there that were swapped out of Caymans for 3.8s that need a home.
