The Beck was advertised as being under 2000lbs. But, even built with padding only as seats and an aluminum head chevy 355 it weighed over 2300lbs.

In every category my C5 Cobra tribute is a better handling and driving car.

My Cobra doesn't have the brute nature of an original/replica with a 427 engine. But, it is very quick, has great brakes, suspension, steering, and can be driven and serviced as any Corvette would be.

Sorry for the confusion. I deleted my question I had the lister confused with another car. But thanks for answering anyway.
