A couple of years back a fellow showed up at several of our autocrosses with an AMX which he had built up. It had an enormous wing on the back and a huge splitter on the front IIRC and was painted with one size smaller than a mop! But he had street tires on it and it was not very quick. He had fun though and it made wonderful v8 noises! I loved it.
