I used to build kit cars and now I own a reall TR. They all look great from the outside but have them open the back lid and there's the real differance, and thats not saying anything about all the squeeks and rattles of a kitcar(Fiero).The other way you can really tell but not in these pictures is the steering column, has the GM turnsignal/cruse on it. All fake! |

maybe I don't know lambos very well, but the fake one looks more real than the real one. Notice the real one has reverse dropped center wheels and no bolts. |

The rims offset in the rear looked fine to me.. Here's a pic of the real thing and you tell me if there's much of a difference.

Lame!! :-) ..but why would a real lambo be parked at what looks like a bank on what looks like a grey day, anyway. Plus the rear wheel is too deep and at too low an offset. Luke. |

Starting from the bottom up: Silver Lambo ... obvious fake. Red Lambo ... Looks fine to me. If it's a fake, it's a VERY good one. Black Lambo ... another obvious fake. The white color of the car and the exposure of the photo make it difficult to see detail on this one. Other than a strange looking shadow line over the rear wheel, it looks good to me. I'm going to go with real on this one. Red TR ... Fake Red TR ... Fake |

Upon second inspection of the white TR, I now believe it is fake. My main 2 reasons are the mounting location of the side mirror (too high) and the curve on the top of the door where it meets the window. So, I believe the only real one is the red Lambo. |

white TR is way fake. Look at the lines above the rear wheel and there is some seam betweent he roof and where the strakes start. Maybe a bad angle, but car looks way fako. |

If the white TR is real, the owner should be shot for putting those wheels on it. If its fake, the owner should still be shot. Anyway, I think the white TR is fake, or maybe its the photo quality that is making it look strange. Ernesto |

red lambo is real, white ferrari is real. the middle ferrari is a fake because you can see the b pillar throgh the strakes! top one if fake because the back is wrong, and it doesnt look right, its too narrow. |

all are fake. maybe the red lambo is real, but front spoiler looks too high off ground. Hard to tell from the angle, but rear wheels look like they are too deep so the offset is bad??? |

silver lambo is fake the back wheel fender has crazy look to it compared to a real one. Red one looks good, but what do I know. White TR is fake the rear looks bad and I don't remember that ripple in the sheet metal in the front below the turn signals on a real one. middle tr real the top one is fake the headlight seal doesn't look like it should. I really though am just guessing erik |

Red Lambo; center Red Ferrari are real. The replicas look pretty good if you're in to that sort of thing. |

Here's my guess.. The red Lambo is real, but I agree that the rear wheels look a bit odd. And Il'l go with the middle pic of the TR as a genuine Ferrari. |

LMAO, Matt, you kill me, you really do...! i agree, the wheels look kinda funny, but i decided against the possibility that Ron would ask a trick question... Who knows, though... i guess we'll have to wait and see... |
