Crappy Replicas thread

This one is probably a great driver. Got all the power and suspension to live up to the exterior. Nice job.

I love the TV/Camera thing. Probably to look out the rear, which is notoriously bad in the real ones. This might actually be able to be parked backwards.

That Diablo replica is nice too. I noticed that in general you can get much nicer Lambo replicas than Ferrari replicas. Probably because Lambo's lawyers aren't after the companies manufacturing them. I hate to say it, but it seems FNA's policy seems to work.

Thats very accurate for a kit

 

The picture is an orginal Diablo GT, they do it all the time.

If they would have called a Diablo GT insead of a 6.0 i would have believed them but otherwise I wouldn't take the builders word for it. I remember when NorthAmerican first started out with reps, they where posting pics of the orginal while the car they where selling looked like sh.....

 

Arrghh. Double portion of bad news: Fiero chassis and Fiero engine. Whimpy.

There are Diablo kit cars that are based on specially designed frames with racing suspension and some powerful American V8 in the back. Those are fun.

That is bloody awful, you win crappiest replica of the month!!

 

It doesn't look right, but I like the engineering: They had to move the Chevy's cooler into the front and squeeze the small block into the Fiero's engine compartment. No easy tasks and deserves a bit more applause than the regular Fiero v6.

 

Thats the way to build em!.

I have even seen some of them use V-12's.

 

Thats suppose to be a Jalpa replica.

I remember one of those being used in a Dodge Magaum permotion.

 

Looks better in yellow

Here's a picture of mine I sold back in January. The wheels are what made mine look authenic (of course, I told people it was a replica), but the exhaust was also done correctly in the way it comes out of the rear and the angle, which is not common on good replicas. I posted pics of it on here before, but thought I would do it again so some of you can see how the wheels make a big difference. There are a few nice C/T replicas out there, but it's almost impossible to get replica wheels, so most people throw on the chrome 5 holes.

Nice any difference in the amount of attention you recieve?

 

I think I got a little more attention in the replica. I still find it hard to believe that the C/T replica was only as tall as my belt line on my waist and I'm only 6ft tall. Yes, if you are reading this, stand up and place your hand on your belt area and that was the top of the roof. Friggin unbelievable that a car can be that low. I tested the height many times, lol! I think because it was so "off the wall" crazy looking, people didn't know how to react most of the time and just looked with their jaws open or pointing in wonder. Especially the younger generation who didn't have the Countach posters on their walls growing up, lol. With the Viper, people know what it is and usually smile and give a thumbs up or try to tell me to light up the tires. I do miss the replica a little, but to be truthful about it, I'm not sure I would ever want to own a real C/T. They are just flat out scary to drive as far as safety goes. You cannot see anything out of the rear and there's a major blind spot on the right side. Also, it is just so small, people don't see you. I understand how motorcycle drivers feel after owning that car. The Viper is so much easier to drive and I feel much safer. I wouldn't change the fact that I owned that C/T replica for anything though! What a fun car!

 

I did stand up then great post mate.

 

lol, thanks Steve. Take care my friend.
