completely agreed. ppl drive different machines for different reasons. and for most of these exotics on the black tops, i would assume showing off is more than the performance of it. with mcclaran as an exception, evident that many of them go back to the service center with high milage on them.
conclusively, i think porsche owners prolly owns the best of the two worlds. got the show and the go together...

from the site it seems to be a fiero frame used on the blue replica.
and Far, i had the same question just like urs. it'd be very impressive if the interior shots are actual snaps of a replica.
we prolly would never knew the anser until someone wrote the check

when you add up all the options to make it look as close to the real thing as possible including the V12 option you end up paying over $120,000 + tax (I assume) for the replica.
for that money I would get a used real thing. if not a lambo a very close to new, very low mile f355spyder.

see...this explains it all...
like two years ago i raced a "lambo" up the I-405 past irvine and i beat it by FAR...i thought i was damn sexy for quite a long time...
never even thought of the chance of it being a replica... 
damn you replica! damn you!
