I think the closest thing they have right now is the Jekyll.  The Jekyll also looks very similar in color.  Both balls got through the heads pretty well with some good backend reaction.

True, but consider the fact that the conditions now are wetter than they were when the original Cuda/C first came out.  I bet if you used the original Cuda/C now, it would be as squirty as the Jekyll.  For instance, I used to have a Super Beast.  When it first came out years ago, that ball had all kinds of backend movement.  Well, I took it to Knoxville for the ABCs, it was the straightest ball I had.  It reacted like a tame resin on heavier conditions.  I think that the Jekyll is the closest thing since you can't get a hold of the Cuda 2000 or Cuda/C 2000 anymore.  Any pearl resin designed for length is going to be squirty when the lanes are of a heavier condition.
