Best/worst kit cars ever?

The Fiberfab Jamaican is still about the only kit car that I'd give garage space to.

Here is a recent magazine article on my car - let me know what you think.

JAMAICAN

Anything sold by CMC from South Florida. Absolute junk.

I think a kit car could and should be better than a factory offering, but the VW based ones were so bad that the whole genre still has a black eye.

Meyer's Manx excluded?

Does anyone remember the kit car that Car & Driver magazine did back in late 70's or early 80's? They put a V-8 into, it used a flipped Corvair trans axle with an adapter to make it mid-engine. It had a Ferrari looking body and I think a pretty good tube chassis.
They were trying to crack the 200 mph barrier with it but never went over 199. They ran a series of articles on it then dropped it.
I think Patrick Bedard had something to do with it.

In reply to jharry3:

Kelmark GT?

You guys realize a canoe paddled this up from the dead, with a link to Hyundai dealership in India?

Presumably that canoe has been sunk, because I don't see it. Who cares anyway?

Id love to see more objective information of Catfish v Exocet v Goblin v 818 etc when it comes to track toys
