I believe it is the LC470 which is an evolution of the Beck Lister. I use to be an owner of Dragon but left it last year. The Beck Lister was Chuck Becks interpertation of the 1958 Lister Knobbly. The LC470 has a 98 inch wheelbase, uses C4 Corvette suspension, and Chevy engines. I think that it is using LS and newer engines. The transmission is front mounted. It is very light and fast.
I have been building my own version of the Lister. I am almost done with it. I built an light but stiff space frame to which the C5 or C6 Corvette suspension cradles bolt in. I kept the stock C5 wheel base of 104.5 inches, with the Z06 wheels and tires it is 77 inches wide a the rear. I kept the 6 speed transaxle and moved the engine rearward for 54% rear weight. Any LS and newer engine can be used but I am using an LS6. My car weighs under 2000lbs.
I also have a Cobra replica that I scratch built using my own frame design and all C5 Vette parts. Had a nice drive in it today!
