Review by CoMod martinmm on the Carrera DIGITAL 124 Bill Thomas Cheetah Model 2 (23745)
When you see a silver/aluminum-painted race car, you immediately think of an aluminum body. However, the ninth Cheetah built by Thomas has a fiberglass body. (See also the review of the red Cheetah.)
The Cheetah went to Jack Goodman of Dixon Cadillac. Originally intended for use as a road car, it was also occasionally used in Cadillac club events. The vehicle was equipped with a standard Corvette engine producing 375 hp.
Later, Goodman's Cheetah was also used in races, first with a modified engine and then with a Chevrolet 396 engine. True to the original, Carrera equipped this version with a different hood and a rear section with four taillights. Even the dummy engine is unique. The spare tire is now located in the interior behind the driver.
