What's the best repli-car?

Almost the same question as last time. What's the one repli-car you'd actually own?

I'm partial to the Datsun 240Z into a Ferrari 250 GTO:

I'm partial to the Miami Vice Ferrari Daytona and the Ferris Bueller Ferrari California.

I've always liked the K1 Attack (kit car, not really repli-car)

MINI.

I'd own another Stalker - especially their new M-Spec model with IRS, rocker-arms and a LSX.

Do the thousands of fiberglass/repop steel hot rods count? Because there are some very good ones from Wescott's, Downs, Dynacorn, etc.

The Porsche Speedster replica out of a now dead Miami company was very pretty.

The obvious one here

They made a freaking race series out of these things. I'd say that says a lot.

Also:

I shed a tear when the MB destroyed it, the replica sure looked well done.

Easy one for me: GT40

maybe a Daytona Cobra:

Ford GT might win on a technicality, best (factory build) replicar.

Hawk HF-series

Or the Sammio line

Beck 904, no contest

David

SLC RTR or an Ultima GTR

If they are copies of the original, then they are replicas. Yes?

So these fit the bill and then there is no contest really.

That assumes one likes e-types or d-types!

Okay, then Icon:

Thing is, I think these are more restorations than replicas. If I'm understanding properly, they're working off of old cars.

I have seen a Hawk HF and a Lancia Stratos in person and I have to say that the Hawk might have been better made than the original.

I did consider the D-type as I really love those, but Lynx cars are so friggen expensive its not funny. Yes, cheaper than a real one, but still way beyond the realm of us in GRM land. I place those along side an Ida Tucker replica.

One of my neighbors has one of those. I always wondered what it was. I don't want to own one, but it's nice to be able to identify it.

Ummm Hawk HF for me! I want a Stratos in a bad way.

Yup, I'm starting to get that feeling about Hawks. Like static electricity building. Check back with me in five years or so...
