I never understood the replicas.. If your going to invest that much to make somthing look like somting else, just make your own unique kit car...At least you will get some respect LOL.

LOL Yes, sir. Check out the site for different trim levels, specs, etc, etc. Build your own or buy a turn-key.

I really like the replicas, some are so well built that you can't tell its a replica, I remember I saw one that's full tube chassis replica with a BB 502 and a blower, that thing was a realy beauty.

Its not bad for $35k, but I'd rather have the car w/out the motor.

35k is CHEAP for a replica that is built that well. It can easily cost over $60k to build one CORRECTLY.

Its a friggin Fiero!
They all are, it's the car of choice for exotic replica's. Why? Ferrari designed them. Lot's of things fit right into place (after frame stretching).

I see a few replicas in south fl regularly. Most are very good. Some are the pitz. Personally, I see nothing wrong with it. There are quite a few 911 replicas around too. Again, I see nothing wrong with someone spending their money the way they want. Everyone copies something sometime. If it's a person you follow it's called mentoring. Which is great if it's a positive situation. SOme replicas are even more reliable than the original. I definitely wouldn't want to own a real Diablo.
