    The door isn't even peroperly lined up, Nor is the rear hatch, the wing is way to big for that thing. Bad exsample you know those are the replica's that give kitcars in general a bad rep for being an absoulte POS.

    You really can't expect to much when two stupid dogs are driving it.

    umm that's on the better end of the scale of what's out there... for one it's actually on the road and not on ebay saying "90% complete"!

    i spent time in a REAL Countach this weekend, please don't f*ck it up by making stupid copies of it, it's such a magnificent car!

    LOL, so true. All the abandoned projects on ebay show how hard it is to get something working together.

    Nice shots. However the original Countach dashboard looks so replica like: A flat panel with a few basic instruments and switches thrown in.

    i think that sums up the whole car! :)

    i have some in-car video here that i'm yet to check out, it doesn't look very good so far as it was the camera's first time out and it mustn't have had the anti-shake feature on so it looks like it was filmed by Michael J Fox. :/

    keep an eye on the thread i posted ^^^ for if i post some footage. :cool:

    Nasty. I have looked at a lot of kit cars, mainly Cobras. One thing that the creators of the Factory Five cars mentioned is that the human eye can tell when something like the wheelbase is off, and it instantly looks wrong. Like the POS you posted. Too damn short. Why do they sell cars like this? Because K-Fed wannabes buy them. Damn fools.

    Now Iam just curious how many good kitcars have you seen in person?.

    I can tell you that even the great ones the repoductions still look like Giant R/C or model cars driving down the street because well thats where they get the donor cad model from.

    Second no K-f@g wannabes buy kitcars. non of them. People who buy kitcars are the ones who are very picky on the kind of money they would like to spend on a car even if they can afford the orginal.

    Most people who buy kitcars are normally people who are young and wants something diffrent from the avareage car on the block.

    Me iam still looking into building a Diablo replica but with the intentions of doing either a 6.0 roadster or a Jota. Two Lamborghini's that aren't avalable here and one that can't be bought in states.

    A few, mostly Cobras and Gt40's. I also saw a Countach based on a stretched Fiero that looked really good. I think 99% of a good kit is based on the owners willingness to make it accurate.

    PS: My reference to K-Fed was implying d*uchebags with too much cash and no taste. :D
