    Some people have to much time on their hands. I give him credit though for the work and result that he was able to achieve.

    What's exotic about a kit?

    The question is what isn't there exotic about a kit?

    It might look like **** but how often do you see an exotic or a kit? I don't. Sometimes kits are even more rare to find than an original. I've seen more Gallardo's than I have replica's.


    LOL

    But that Pontiac V6 has more balls than the real 308.

    But I wonder what a "Chevi" 350 small block engine is. . . another replica of something else? ;)

    Thats not a miata based kit. Look at the Interior, thats MR2 spyder interior. Its non stretched. Looks terrible, The DNA kits looked much better for being short wheel base.

    Yeah, I know what you mean. Not intended to fool anyone - and people are charmed by miniaturization! Never thought I'd say this about a "replica," but. . . yeah, it's cute.

    You can't make this stuff up!

    "To start things off i bought this car from a friend not too long ago he paid 60k to build it."

    "Honestly this car is just stunning and the first time i looked at it i cried since it was so beutiful."

    "All my freinds were shocked when i told them this car is a replica."

    All that work and it still looks like a Saturn. :(

    Okay. I concede that: 1) It might be very well-built. (2) The builder might have great ability and even talent. (3) The engine might be modified so that it's extremely fast.

    All that said, what I hate is that this is in no way a Lamborghini Gallardo. I guess that makes me a "hater." The sad part about so many of these "replicas" is that they are cool "hot rods" or consumer-modified custom cars in their own right.

    In other words, there's absolutely nothing wrong with this kit except that it's no Lamborghini. "Friends can't believe it's a 'kit' " is b.s.

    Call it what it is: A modified Saturn that some people - even I - might think is kind of cool as a modified car. Don't call it a Lamborghini, pretend it's a Lamborghini, claim that it's "just the same," "a perfect copy," or "my friends can't tell the difference."

    It's still a Saturn. Just tell the truth and I have no problem with "replicas."
