Love to see a Manta theme about the famous German Move: Manta, der film. about a sentient 6 wheeled Manta
We've had at least four Opel GTs, but no Mantas. What the hell is the problem? The Manta was a great car! The Camaro to the GT's Corvette!
Maybe this will get past BS: An 800 hp, Volvo powered Manta
Norcalia will likely see one this season.
There is a guy with a former SCCA F Production Manta that he was thinking of racing in Lemons, but then he read the rules.

I love the upper strut mounts on that beast.
I have a Manta I picked up for $45 a couple of years ago. I am looking at racing it next year. Fun family project. Got to get some track experience though. It's under powered but handled like a dream, should be a riot.
Chris, welcome aboard!
The Judges may want to consider a ceremonial banning of the Manta after each race one runs in.
And contend, the Manta did. Until 1975, when it was banned from SCCA competition, the Manta dominated its showroom stock class. Engine power wasn't up to the competition, but handling and aerodynamics made it absolutely unbeatable in those years. In period comparison road tests, the Manta came in second to last, but on the track it won every race it entered.

I've owned a Manta. It was just terrible. In other words, ideal for Lemons!

Just as long as it's only ceremonial!

I've owned 3 and I love them. I am a GT guy at heart, but the Manta's handle great.
