Wow. What a great way to pick up dumb, superficial broads.

That incredible.
You'd think with all the effort though you'd make something original.

when you make something original, it LOOKS like a kit car.

I don't know whether to like it because it actually looks pretty damn good or whether to hate it because it's slow and sounds stupid.
I think I'll go with C: Let Bryce hybrid the thing!

It's a whole lot more successful than most! It's actually an attractive car. Most replicas like that just look...off. The proportions aren't right. But this one works.

I wonder if anyone ever built a Fiero body kit for a Lamborghini?

It doesn't look too bad, but er,....what's up with the rear windows? Do you really need windows at all on a car with no roof?
and the sound....AAAARRHGHGHGH! MY EARS!! MY EARS!! Sound like the guy down my street with the old S10 with a rusted-out muffler. Gross.

I don't get why he'd have put that much work into it and kept the stock 2.8. Guys who own Italian exotics must be annoyed at all the kit cars that rip off their cars' looks but don't measure up in performance... imagine how angry they'd get over a kit car that could also top their performance. And is that the stock Fiero gauge cluster? It doesn't match the rest of the car at all.
I am pretty impressed with how the rest of it turned out, though. A lot less fake and distorted looking than most.

I like it. It appears to be a very well done kit.
I wouldn't build it, but I can admire it.

I just finished P.J. O'Rorke's new book. His stories about the women in Los Angeles started running through my head when I saw this car..

On a related note, I was sitting in my car in the parking lot of the Walmart in Portsmouth, NH today fiddling with my phone, and a black mid-'80s Countach pulled into the space beside me. I started to get out just to gawk, thinking for sure it was a replica, but the interior looked very authentic. A kid in an e34 pulled up behind him a few seconds later and hopped out of his car, and just about jumped the owner of the Lambo asking if it was real. Sure enough, it was. I love imagining the owner thinking, "hmm, I need to pick up a few things at Walmart on a friday evening, which car should I take... well, I guess the Lambo will do". The Murcielago I saw rolling up 7th Avenue near Times Square last week didn't really suprise me, but that Countach was honestly just about the last thing I thought I would ever see in a Walmart parking lot.

We had a black Countach drop in on the FM Open House in 2008. Everybody mobbed it.
In the case of this thing, isn't the hot setup a Northstar engine?

Saw a nice Ferrari 308GT at Kmart years ago...I guess when you spend all your money on cars, you hafta shop where you can.
Honestly, I can so see buying an old supercar and living on PB&J. Lambo kit on a fiero? Not so much...
Did anyone see the Kit TV show where they did a Pcar GT kit body on a boxster chassis? What a waste! It's a BOXSTER! Invest that money in the driveline and you've got a real drool-worthy car, not a poser...Hell, it's already a Porsche!

CRINGE, till they pull the headbolts out the block, then you have a Lambo that puffs white smoke (moreso than a real one!)
