And yet that wasn’t it’s worst attribute. Sitting over the rear wheels, it’s aero (would cause lift at medium speeds) and the short wheelbase made for a hair raising ride.

I would LOVE for this to appear in Forza Horizon 5. It was designed to be a competitor to the Shelby Cobra, with a race-prepped small block Chevy front-mid-mounted to a 4-speed manual, going directly into a Corvette IRS. That’s right, this vehicle had no driveshaft, just a U-joint coupler.
There’s actually a story that a Bill Thomas Cheetah was once taken to the drag strip in road race trim, and it clocked off a 10.7 second quarter mile time. In the '60s. It’s a piece of history that is HIGHLY underrepresented in modern times (I don’t even think GT ever had a Cheetah), so having it in FH5 would be a big win.
