"It Has the original Lamborghini rims."

No, it doesn't.

Poor guy. Didn't finish elementary school, or the car.

[Fasglas]

Never understood why people are attracted to these types of replica vehicles.

[Datawiz]

I've seen replica Diablos in person. This one is the worst ever. :lol:

Agree. With maybe one exception: The Cobra. Originals are unaffordable, and some of the replicas are very good. A repro 57 T-Bird, '56 Porsche, etc.--no way.

All of those you named are, by-and-large, accurate replicas of the vehicles they claim to replicate, usually built on a chassis that is at least similar to the original car being replicated.

Accurate Lamborghini replicas are very rare, moreso ones built on Fiero chassis.

I did not know that. I just assumed they would be pieces of crap.

Most of the crap disappeared from the Cobra, Porsche Speedster and Corvette/T-Bird marketplaces in the 2000's once correct, quality components became easily produced for low cost.

It's very difficult to tell a decent 356 Speedster or 550 Spyder Porsche replica from real, for all but the most knowledgeable about these cars. That happens automatically, because of the quality of the bodies and reproduction trim these days.

With the Cobras the accuracy is dependent on how accurate you want to be. You can build a bolt-for-bolt replica for pennies on the dollar compared to a real Cobra.

The Corvette replica stuff mostly started out as intending to actually be used on real Vettes as restoration parts. People suddenly realized they could just build a new car with it. Which is why Corvette Central and Mid-America, leaders in restoration parts, are making complete replica bodies these days.

Makes a lot of sense--I just didn't know it. Answer me this: It's not economical to buy a "real" Cobra or Speedster. But what are the cost benefits of a repro T-Bird/Corvette?

The benefit of a replica Corvette or Thunderbird is not one of cost. It allows you to build a resto-mod, or track car without ruining a real one, besides the hobbyist, who want to build a model kit they can drive.

Again, that makes a lot of sense. I guess I tend to look at all cars from a cost basis; in other words, I doubt that I would own my 67 Vettes unless I could get my money out of them, despite the tremendous fun they give me.

Wait, there's a squirrel in there somewhere. Wait, what? Never mind.


Rodents like Lambos. :datawiz:

In a way, I guess it would be a cost benefit, because you save the cash of cleaning up/repairing a donor for a resto-rod.

That's also why some guys would rather build a replica Vette, or T-bird. They get the fun of building without the hassle of restoration.

I can't fault anyone for that. Just not my style; I want the "real thing" (preferably already restored by someone else!). I do, however, sometimes would like a "classic" that I could drive anywhere I want without worry of dings, break-downs, etc. I see your point. thanks!

I didint fond anybody that was abel to finis the car for me .

Or grade school, apparently.

"I didint fond anybody that was abel to finis the car for me . "

Yeah, they didn't sense any money in your bank acct. This is the kind of abortion you have to finish yourself.
