Reply to "What are the most recognizable differences between the major speedster manufacturers?"

The IM is closest to the real thing with a roomier floor area and a low, squared-off tunnel like the real Speedster.

Except for the pan based IM Speedsters which used the "toe cramped" pedal area and the wide side sills. The later IM tube chassis gave more room.

VS - VS had their own hood badge with V S on it, VW pan based and most are rear swing axle (often converted from IRS pans) - to give more rear wheel space. Nicely styled wide and ultra wide bodies available. Often only 1 front axle height adjustr and no front anti-sway bar. Fake rear indent for rear torsion bar removal (much like OEM Speedster (easily replicated on say CMC though). VS built and rollers available.

My guess is VS is 3rd or 4th largest builder (CMC/FF (30k????), IM, VS (3k), JPS, Beck - but just my guess).
