Video: Mighty V8 Cheetah deafens everyone at Brands Hatch
There’s nothing for it but to jump it, fire her up, and go out for a shakedown session to get to know the car and work out its foibles. That’s exactly what CCK Historic did following its three-year rebuild of their Cheetah. Now rocking a 5.4-litre Chevy V8 under that distinctive bodywork, this thing sounds seriously mean. By the looks of the on board video above, it goes pretty well too. Not bad for one of this car’s first runs out for a shakedown at Brands Hatch. That yellow BTCC Ford Focus doesn't seem to be quite so well hooked-up!
