    A fake Ferrari no matter how well done is still a fake Ferrari.

    Honestly, I don't want a classic Ferrari to drive like a modern one. What's the fun in that?

    I'm OK with upgrading systems that help with classics to make them more reliable like improved electrics and better cooling. But a modern car underneath? Not interested.

    Sure, you say that, but if you had a 250 GT in your garage would you fit it with period correct bias-ply tires or would you throw on some modern steel-belted radials? We all draw that line somewhere, right?

    I said I was OK with stuff like that. Safety, roadability. But to put a modern drive train underneath a shell isn't really getting a vintage experience.

    Is it really a fake Ferrari? I see inspiration in the build, not ripoff.
