Question What kind of car is this?!

Gearheads, help me out, I'm stumped! All badges were missing, and it sounded like a V8 under the hood. What is it?!

Lol that's what I got out of it too would be interesting to know what it is. Would be funny if they chopped the two cars together.

Looks like something that isn't a production car. I would guess a type of kit car or an old Z front end and a different rear end.

It doesn't look like a Bradley GT, does it?

Ferrari Dino seems kinda far-fetched, but sort of reminds me of the Dino brand...

First thought that came to mind when I saw it.

Definitely not a Dino; my neighbor had a Dino, so I can recognize those easily.

Gotta Google Bradley GT...

Ermmm, nope, doesn't look like that... I think.

Can't be the TVR. Too many differences.

I'd have to go with a kit car. Or a frankenstein project. I don't particularly find it good looking. :/
