    Wait who said anything about me building a replica on a fiero that could outperform the orginal? :D

    No way that could be done unless I had the bouget to buy the real deal, If i wanted to build something to distory a real supercar id go Ultima, GTM, Cobra. Fieros are fine cars the way they are and with just a Grand National swap, 3800 supercharged or a Northstar V8 I suppose I could put a few "Real" 355's, 348's in the hurt locker. I really want to give V-8 arche company a call they have everything for the fieros that doesn't requre reboding them into ferraris and such. here take a look for yourself.http://www.v8archie.com/

    Sure this Lamborghini replica is a great possiblitly www.lambobuilder.com but its not Fiero based. Its got an LSX vette motor, you should know how tuneable these engines can be. Imagine if it had a Supercharger, thats more than enough to drive an exotic car owner nuts at the strip.

    And your totally right I don't care what anyone else thinks. I bought it, I built it, I drive it why should I care what someone else thinks?.

    Its not going to be a replica.

    Why are you and that other guy so pushy? you guys aren't paying me by the hour to get it done. If you have built a car in your life you know it takes time, Fieros aren't exactly the most simple car to be wenching quickly on. The car gets done when it gets done but if your willing to let me use your check book or lend a hand in this project maybe it can get done on your time. :D

    Interesting car with a few innovative features. The world is probably better off with only one.

    I'm a little curious as to why a British car company built a prototype car in left-hand drive.

    First picture is the Vector. The fastest car of the world when it came out. I went gaga for that car in my adolescence. :)

    Even today I think it is still one of the best looking cars ever. And still one of the fastest.

    I disagree with you on this one Andreas. I really liked how they did the interior and trunk. Only issue is that it doesn't have a top and side wondows.

    You're way too forgiving Rick.

    I can understand if somebody has limited resources and doesn't address everything. But if you redo everything from scratch, why not try to make it as close to the original as possible. Otherwise what's the point of the replica?

    This is wrong on so many details. Starting at the square lamps, the false interior on doors, dash, seats. But the worst has got to be the engine sticking out the hood. That is cool for a muscle car, but not if you're trying to mimick a Daytona. Just plain wrong.

    For the money they poured into this, they could have done something that is a lot closer to the real deal. Missed opportunity.
