Most dangerous car to drive fast? Probably the Bill Thomas Motors’ Cheetah, pictured above in its natural habitat: Surrounded by pavement.

It weighs less than 2,000 pounds and the transmission bolts directly to the rear axle with no driveshaft to sap the power before it hits the wheels. Add to that the fact that it has a shorter and wider wheelbase than the Shelby Cobra and it doesn’t matter what engine you put in the things, you’ve got probably the closest a car can get to a go-kart. If you ever see one in the wild, RUN! A BTM Cheetah can consume vehicles more than thrice it’s weight, and does not hesitate to savage the unsuspecting or foolhardy driver.

More in the comments as I think of them...

Who’s “we”?

Literally anything that comes out of Blastolene is guaranteed to have a great combination of heavy duty, all metal construction and entirely too much of the power, and probably some ridiculous driving characteristics you could never plan for. Which is why they should mass produce them, but that’s another story.

It could be you if you can think of anything...

I know a guy with the #1 continuation car. 383 block good for in the ballpark of 525HP.

Getting in and out is an effort in folding yourself very carefully, and be careful above 130mph, the doors lack windows (a window kit has since been developed), and will literally blow off the car.

Each Cheetah is unique though, I’ve been lucky enough to see two different ones (not that there are a large number of them), and they all have pretty significant and obvious differences between them.

This sounded like a packaging nightmare, so I googled “BTM Cheetah interior” and guess what:

It is.

That really is the best worst idea ever.

Lightning McQueen, or anyone from Cars. Nowhere to sit.

Sorry about your childhood being destroyed by the picture, but it is what it is.

It might be the purest sports car ever.

I’ve seen this car in person! As awsome as it is though, it will always remind me of ace & Gary’s car.

I am open about my love for the scrapers, but I can’t imagine what a nightmare it would be to have to drive one fast. Especially if turns are involved...

I’ve always wondered, how do the cars have a child? Do they get the blue light special from Sears (like Calvin and Hobbes)? Do they run pipes across their coolant/oil lines and have a hybrid (imagine a TVR dad and a Alfa Mom...super child)? Do they have penises? Do they have bodily orifices? How would a car be modified in a world of cars??

There is no way Lightning’s brain is that big. He's such an idiot that I continued to hate him even after he was supposedly redeemed.

Everything about the greenhouse & interior of that says that someone designed the chassis, drivetrain, suspension, etc. and then smacked their forehead and went “Fuck, I need a place for a driver to go or it won’t move. And so they made only the most grudging accommodation for a driver.

That said, I would hoon one in a heartbeat.

I didn’t see a brain. All I saw was lots of intestines. To make gas.
