    Admittedly the Tiburón with the kit on it looks better than the original Tiburón. . . but it still doesn't resemble any Ferrari I know.

    Now, that Canadian 430 actually looks pretty similar, in those photos, to a real one, but the rear wheel is too small. And there's something else about the proportions that I can't quite put my finger on.

    Wow, that looks a lot like a real Muira, and I agree with you completely. He should by some original Miura rims.

    That's actually pretty clever, and cool.

    I don't think it really belongs alongside the "crappy" replicas! :)

    The reason for that is because people think they can get an exotic car for pennies in the dollar but the facts are these things can rival the cost of an original real fast if you don't plan stuff carefully.

    The Rate of completion for most Lamborghini Replica's is 3% and out of that your gonna get the craptastic non-stretched fiero based lamborghini or one thats just god awful to look at. Then there's gonna be the decent one like a D&R or IFG bodied car were it's just "Good enough" Then that 1% is like the extreme murcielago or NAREC Diablo's.

    Building these cars are far from easy ;)

    So, who's the guy in the first picture? Looks like a Rastaferrarian. ;)

    How can car dealers know so little about what they're trying to sell? With the internet, there really is no excuse these days for marketing a Dino replica as a 348 replica. It's not even a TS, it just has a crappy sunroof. :rolleyes:

    Also, the whole thing looks poorly done anyway. :eek:

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    Check out the hood badge; looks modeled after the Lambo's. I guess these guys are just trying to appeal to a broad range of exotic car owners, err fakers.

    Edit: Just noticed the seller is a Ford dealer. I'm shocked a new car dealer would keep such trash in inventory. They should have wholesaled it (for crap, err scrap) or at least sent it to an affiliated lot not branded with a big Ford sign. Kip don't know Ferraris!

    Why, oh why did I look at that?

    If I had 2 forks handy I'd gouge my eyes out.

    Hmm, looks more like the F40's competition from Porsche, the 959. Maybe this is a rare 959 Evo edition?

    It's a bit of work to make one of these things. . . I wonder why anyone would bother, when the result looks so wrong.
