BTW- i'm with jon_s.. i would rather getting a kit car to build like the ultima or someting like that..

**BTW- restoring an exotic cost A LOT! and you really shouldn't do it yourself but have a pro shop doing that.. and its really not a cheaper way to get a ture exotic..

Ahhhh, just thought, I much prefere someone making a replica of a Diablo, if it means that someone does not destroy an original one......I am sure we all know what one I am one about, that browm/gold monstrocity! I'll find a pic....


to think that, that used to be perfection:

$45,000 - puhlease... --- why not come back and show us the result of $45,000 of work.

After seeing $70,000+ replicas that look fake I can only imagine what $45,000 would get you...

Or why don't we go for pictures of the really bad ones...(all of them)....

Whos gonna be the first to post the worst one I have ever seen of the F50 that was posted a few times on here....although probably not as bad as the yellow 355...but I think that one was really done as a joke.

It's an insult because it is NOT a Lamborghini; it is a back-yard built, kit car with a Chevy engine in it pretending to be a Lamborghini.

Quit with the bullshit dude, you know you want people to think its a Lamborghini when its really not, you are a poser for building a car to look like something that it is not. Even if you say you won't put the 'Lambo' engine cover, or even the Lambo badges on, you still want people to think it is a Lambo. So what if you freely admit it when asked, you are still hoping people will think you are a badass for having a Lambo, even if its only when they are 50 feet away from your car.

There is no other reason you would build a replicar thing, unless you want people to think you have something you don't have. I want a McLaren F1 so badly I could almost cry, but that doesn't mean I will ever, ever build a fake of one. It is just wrong.

You make no sense to us dude...you came to the wrong crowd to talk your replicar bullshit, we like real cars, not fakes.

Everything else winds up being the same.
This is an insult in itself...to Lamborghini craftsman, designers, and owners. It is not the same! So what if you use the blue prints, it wasn't built in Italy, it wasn't built by Lamboghini people, and it doesn't have the spirit of the original.

And quit with the bullshit about how you are building this car for the 'driving experience'...please. If you were doing that you wouldn't give a flying fuck what it looked like; but on the contrary, the looks seem to be the most important part of this car to you, a clear indicator all you care about is impressing others, the same goes for building the car. You claim you will get all this satisfaction from building it, well you shouldn't care what it looks like, just that you had fun 'building something yourself'. If you were so set on building a car yourself, why don't you make an original car.


Lasty...
Why don't you build yourself something better than a replicar dude? Why not build yourself a Super 7...or maybe build a hotrod...or mod the crap out of something, but don't build a fake. :roll:

:x :x :x :x :x That's pretty bad, its fucking out of proportion.

Even a blind person would know that it is a fucking bad replica, this is really bad.

How can the gouvernment allow things like that to be built :fist:
