COME BACK LATER!. This has got to be the dumbest replica i have ever seen. Why in the hell would one want to replicate a Corvette C6?, I understand lambo and ferrari replica's because of there high prices and maintance bills and who wouldn't?. But a Corvette C6? or even a C5? come on! thats just stupid! GM didn't build these cars for wealthy people. Any slack jod yokel working at Wallmart could afford a Corvette. If you can't afford a Corvette you better put in your two weeks at Mcdonolds ASAP!. If I wanted a vette that bad id buy an 84 L98 vette, bodykit and turbo charger and it would look better and out perform a C6.
Pantera's awe-inspiring collection: Other Cars Owned: 89 Jeep Grandwagoneer Previous Cars Owned: 02 Pontiac Grand Prix GT 88 Caddillac Svillie ?? Toyota tacoma(POS) 95 Buick Skylark Yea you're a real high roller aren't ya buddy? Have you put in your two weeks at Mickey D's yet, or did WalMart take back their offer? No wonder you were s**t-canned by L-Power.
Nobody asked for a smarta$$. Oh iam sorry insalted you since you work already at a deadend Job. 160 hours working must have finally gottin to you hasn't it?. Just to let you know Mr Know it all, non of those cars where never mine. I barrowed them to get the Job done such as to got to work, school extc....extc... Because unlike you and many others I don't need a "BadazzCar" to feel good about myself to be a playa iam perfectly happy with a POS that gets me to work and back. Second off If I wanted to I can buy a "badazz car" anytime I want I just choose not to do so. Third off my needs are diffrent from yours so before you go out there prejudge anyone I suggest you check yourself before your try and check someone else b!tch. And like I said before I don't give a rats @$$ what people think of me. My opinions are just opinions but people take as if Iam insalting there religioius beliefs, is that my problem? no its not that is theirs for taking it personally.
But how do you really feel? Oh yea, this thread is about replicas. Carry on folks, we now return to our regularly scheduled programming.
Question ? ..if you dont care about what "badazzz" cars you drive ...or what other badazz cars someone else drives...why are you on a car forum and a ferrari one at that
Agree 100%!! Just like anything in life.............if you are going to do it, do it properly. Otherwise dont waste your time.
It's so ugly they didn't want to put it all on one picture or they would exceed the allowable uglyness per photo limit. Un-real.
Thats non of your business on how I feel. next time read the topic before you starting talking **** next time.
Iam a ferrari/Lamborghini enthuisit, I will own the real deal sooner or later. Second the other carforums just suck. Bottomline I buy cars for myself and not to impress anyone else.
Now could you please explain the term "Fake" to me because if there was such a thing as the orginal or else there wouldn't be two cars that looked the same on the road so think about it production cars are technically replicated to except there's millions upon millions of there sbilings on the road with the same specs, engine, color, exc..exc...keep in mind no two replicars are the exact same. Have you ever sat down and looked at Lamborghini's production lineup for the Diablo lately? Lamborghini has built great cars but there's a problem...you see the Lamborghini model that I wanted never made it into production which was the Diablo 6.0 VT Roadster. You can't pick that up at your local Lamborghini dealership. The only way you can "buy" is by building it from a replica. Hell I wouldn't mind buying of the orginal designed kitcars such as the FFR GTM or Ultima GTR because I think they are more inovative than the SSC Aero and the Mosler photon 900TT and like with anykitcar they have got potential. Replicating cars in some cases I agree is kind of stupid but if you do it you got to have a purpose to it. BTW I also have plans in the future of buying a real Countach so don't go prejudging like the other jack@ss did.
To build your "replicar" of a something that was never made seems interesting. to Take a tube frame chassis say from NAERC built to exact specs, then taking a VT roadster body say from DC supercar (if you want the most exact dimensions) and then adding a 6.0 Front end on instead. do a 2001 interior.... I mean if your doing it RIGHT, and replicating. like all those other cars on the road. You would want a V12 in there. so your choices are what a BMW V12 or the real deal. And you can do this for less than buying the real deal...maybe like $10k less. Then comes the issue.your body will be fiberglass. Real deal will be sheetmetal. Id feel safer in sheet metal.
Ifg has built a couple of Diablo 6.0 roadsters for less than 50k but they where Fiero based and they had a tough time building the car to the proper specs. They had to graph the front of a 6.0 on to a Roadster body. I would try and use a V-12 but there's a problem its BMW V-12 which has alot of bugs you gotta deal with. Its not powerfull enough maybe puts down the same power as an LS1, cost more than an LS1 and more difficult to install than an LS1. Only a handfull of people have manage to accomplish it, if i was up to me however id try and use an AMG V-12 insead of a BMW V-12.
I've seen a horrid F40 replica while in Ibiza. It was just embarassingly awfull unfortunately my phone refused to take a pic for some reason.
This is called a prototype kit car Lamborghini in the title. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1970-VW-beetle-dune-buggy-prototype-kit-car-Lamborghini_W0QQitemZ140089956493QQihZ004QQcategoryZ133220QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
