This guy thinks he really has something....lol

Oh I don't know kind of improves the 355 I think

 

I didn't go that far into it to see how many ppl were bidding. Had a hard enough time just reading the description.

 

Har-har bloody har

There's always 1.....lol

 

"This is NOT a Ferrari and should not be assumed as one or a copy, duplicate, or replica of one."

If that is the case, then why does he have a Prancing Horse on the steering wheel?

 

HAHAHA. ENZA!!.. This guy must have been smoking something illegal.

 

I just threw up in my mouth!!!!!!

 

We should all pitch in $20, bid on the car, and push it off a cliff.

 

LOL!! LOL!! LOL!!

 

Can I be the pusher? I'll put in an extra $20?

 

I also love the fact that it has "Rossa Red paint." That's so much better than... uh... the other colors of Rossa out there...

 

You mean ENZA... like the female version of Enzo.

For a car that's "not supposed to be a copy of a Ferrari", the Prancing Horse logo on the steering wheel seems a bit out of place....

It's hard for me to imagine anyone finding pleasure in riding in something so hideous.

 

There are no words to accurately describe the "enza". I do like the *****in' limo TV antenna on the decklid though )))))

 

Right. I'll file that with "Don't wear clown shoes to the supermarket if you don't want lots of attention!!"

Sorry son, they're laughing at you, not with you.

 

I can't really see the difference between that and a real 355........................................................Ahhh, yeah.

LOL...and couldn't agree more!!

 

Take a good look at the brake rotor on the Fiero! I almost fell out of my chair laughing. OMG the enza! I should keep a scrap book of these monstrosities. When will they run out of Fieros?

 

I have both a Fiero 308 replica and a real 348 Ferrari. I have been to the Knots Berry Farm show in CA and also the Carlisle kit car show several times. I have seen several kit cars that are exceptional. Few would ever think my 308 replica (An original 1988 Pontiac Mera that has been extensively modified by myself) is not a real 308. Fiero owners know because the interior is still mostly all Fiero. Many Ferrari owners do not think it is fake unless they have owned a real 308 or get close to it to see it is a fake. Most all ferrai owners can see it is a fake if they get close to it. From a distance most Ferrari owners probably have no clue. I have seen many kit cars that are just junky cars. But there are some out there that are exceptional. One guy has a V-12 Jag with a Daytona kit on it. Very nice car. Made in England. All first class. I have seen a few Diablo’s and Countach’s that are very sharp and clean. I've seen many that are just plain dumpy. My replica does not compare to my real Ferrari but it is an exceptional car and I will own it for a very long time.

Rodney, I have to agree with you.

What interests me is that so many here seek out replicas and then bash them. If you don't like them then why look for them?? Yes, some are bad, but some are very good; like yours!

I must say that building a replica that can fool the eye takes more talent than buying the real thing off of the showroom floor.

Consider it art folks. It's the same as an artist that can paint a picture that looks like a photograph; is that something to be sneered at?

Again, if you don't like them don't look for them! I think that those that do are the ones with the socks in their pants!

The Mona Lisa is art. A copy of the Mona Lisa is a just a copy, no matter how good or well done. You're analogy of a photographic-like painting is incorrect. It's more like taking a painting, making a scan, and then offering the print out for sale to the public without the artist's permission.

I'm a designer. Sometimes my work is copied. I can tell you it is not flattery. It's visual plagerism. It's design "Napster". It's theft of the work of the original artist.

Sorry Rodney. No matter how well done it is, it's intended to fool people by those who do not want to buy the real thing --without the artist's approval. Like a counterfit bag or counterfit money, it cheapens every original in existance in some way. In fact, I could argue that the better the copy, the more the damage is done.

The only exceptions IMO are cars like Shelby cobras that are licenser approved and cars which are recreated for historical purposes as they no longer exist (but duly noted as recreations, not original).

Again, with apologies, as an artist that's how I feel.

 

I have to agree here. No offense to those who like them (and by the by, we don't look for them, they are often listed in the area with real Ferraris). If someone can answer this for me it would be appreciated - why would you spend all that time and money on a replica, and how much does it cost?

I mean, WTF - you can buy a REAL 308 2V car (driver, not show car) right now for $25k, so what is the attraction to having a fake one when you can have a real one? Is it THAT much cheaper to have a fake? I just don't get it. I could never drive a fake because when people started asking questions I would be very embarrased.

I'm sure all of us have this same question. I think the vast majority of people think Ferraris will break the bank when maintenance is due. They hear $300 oil changes, etc. etc. and it freaks them out. So they think ALL Ferraris are impractical for the average car owner.

 

I have to agree there 100%. I can understand selling a replica on Ebay and there is a section for that, but listing it amongst real Ferraris is an insult, as if a Ferrari buyer would be interested, that's ludicrous. There is still a P.O.S. Fiero in the Ferrari section now with enough bids to get a Mondial, mind boggling.
