That's basically what the POC VAMP looks like. At least in my opinion. |

I wonder what sort of shocks this thing has when it comes down from that wheelie in the one picture, Definitely an impressive design, though. Wouldn't mind seeing a Joe version of it. The POC VAMP is close, but they could probably get closer, maybe even with official permission. |

It is similar to the POC VAMP, but this one has more in common with the Hummer. Its supposed to have somewhere around 80% parts compatibility. |

I see one thing it has in common with the hummer, it looks like a death trap. |

Looks pretty cool. Except for the complete lack of armor for the occupants' heads and upper torsos.... |

Also makes it prime, for a Cobra repaint. Same school of thought that builds a "tank" with a glass canopy and an exposed gunner. |

It would probably have nitrogen charged shocks with a reservoir, like they use on off-road racecar vehicles. In the picture, it appears to be jumping, I've done worse in my VWs & Toyotas, and I only broke one, because it still had the stock 25 year old shocks & ball joints. |

Its does remind me of the POC Vamp. It also looks like it would be a really fun scratch build vehicle to try and make. With a little work you could probably use a Hummer as the base for the vehicle, cutting off the top and front fenders and going from there. |
