I think Venom is a BDR?

There was NEW Venom roadster on eBay years ago advertized as new. It had been on fire!

I think it was a stroker 331 or 342 stroker in a black car. I was ready to buy it until I found out about fire.

The company is out of business now. Venom and Backdraft were both based in South Africa, 92' wheelbase and BMW suspension.

Maybe this will help.

Venom was a knockoff of the early Backdraft cars with some subtle differences. The company folded in 2003 or so. There's a number of updates those cars need from a safety standpoint, but things are generally interchangeable.

I did not know the two cars were that similar. Still glad I have my Backdraft!
