I guess I am just too real car oriented but I see your point and don't disagree.

By the way, IMDB trivia says that all the cars in Death Race 2000 were custom re-bodied VWs. I am a little confused by Cimbra. The ad you referenced indicates that the Cimbra is not a VW chassis but it will accept a VW or V8 engine.

Sorry for putting this in the wrong place. Will be more careful in the future.
