Chevron’s B8 racer is a purpose-built motorsports machine that weighs less than a Miata yet also features more than 200 horsepower while wearing 10-inch-wide slicks. This particular example belongs to accomplished vintage racer and AC/DC front man Brian Johnson, and he invited Classic Motorsports Publisher Tim Suddard to take it for a spin during the 2019 HSR Classic 24 at Daytona.

Tim,
I don't think I could drive that more than a few feet before passing out from all the awesomeness.
Nicely done!

B8s are one of my favorite cars but have long since been way out of my price range.
As a near jockey size guy I'm always impressed when 1:1 scale drivers squeeze themselves in little cars.
As for weighing less than a Miata.....................mmmm yeah, 1000lbs less to be more exact.
The motors are also stout and make a great sound.
There is so much to love about these.................if I only paid attention in school.

It makes the Cobra next to it look huge!

Chevron made some gorgeous cars. I liked the left side window bending outward at speed.

Reminds me of a Ginetta G12 on roids.

I know, right? We should have parked it next to a Camry or something.
