Build your own AMX-3, run it in an ORR, and report how stable it is at speed:

Due to front end lift, it was only tested to 145mph:

There was a bastardized Pantera for sale last year that had been cut up to use as a chassis for one of these bodies, but I think the owner decided to scrap that idea and build/buy a custom chassis. Log in to the PI Board to see a picture of it here:

the VIN on this poor Pantera is #1952. Here are some sad pics from Chuck's registry:
