I'd clown on them cause i'd get to take mine to get coffee, downtown to the show, to the grocery store, on trips and much much more. While they stood in their garage, with their wine, not driving.

I have to give props to Bam Margera though....he drives the hell out of his
s h i t. Anyone see the episode of one of his shows where he even drove his Murcielago in snow..?
He drove his Gallardo in the snow, he drove his Murcielago to the armor shop to get his wedding armor. But yea, he drives his, but then again, that ain't the smartest guy in the world. As evidenced by this:
Cool guy though if you meet him in person.

I'd choose the real one. And drive it. I know a lot of exotic car guys who beat the ****TT out of their cars. Why? Because they are rich, if you can buy it, you can fix it, if you plan on selling it, who cares you stil have money, or just never sell it and store it away somewhere and go get it later lol. (for those who get around and heard about the Saudi prince who left his F40 at a gas station shop and a guy found it)
Really? On his show sometimes, he seems to come off as an arrogant ******* with the maturity of a high school sophomore.
Otherwise, he seems like a pretty funny guy.
I want a Lamborghini.
I don't care what anyone says, whether that car looks like the real thing or not, it still looks sexy. I would rock the hell out of it.
But I would rather have other cars at that price
ricer mentalities shining in this thread. lol
lol. i'd DRIVE it.
i wouldn't BUY it though.
^^ thats how i feel
How in god's name is that car considered rice? Do you even know what rice is? That entire car is all American, no rice there. Is it because it's fake? If you think it's rice because of that, you are an idiot.
EVERY single car company started out with one guy building a car. Ford, Nissan, Toyota, Volkswagon......the list goes on and on. Every car was made (except the very first one) by looking and copying someone elses stuff. So by your definition, all Cobra replica's are rice, all 41 Willys replicas are rice.
Get your head out of your ass man.
Let's make a list of ricer cars according to this criteria.
50 Mercury.
41 Willys
Lotus Super Seven, nevermind it has a fully built Cosworth turbocharged rally motor.
Factory 5 GTM.
Factory 5 Cobra
All these car's are kit cars, same as the Lambo. Guess they are all rice. Lol fool.

and maybe the speedster porsches..
So under your logic where a replica is still just a replica, wouldn't that mean that you share in our " ricer mentality"?
Lol. I was thinking that but didn't want to post back to back. Self ownage is the best ownage.

I needs some engine, interior and trim refinement then it would be a great replica!
Needs some fender liner and vent trim for the rear.
Leisa and S. 4 Life NM?
that thing is hideous for 60k... you can have a noble, exige, maserati, etc for cheaper
Or even the NAERC Diablo...which is a hell of a replica.
Be it a kit car though...I'd drop $50,000 for that Factory Five GTM.
The thing is, a car like the GTM doesnt LOOK like something it's not, it actually looks good, and holds its own spot. The small Super 7 style cars may be Lotus replicas, but they have SO many different options and most the time dont look like one exactly, and once again, hold their own. Factory 5's are a damn good replica, and have lots of engineering behind them, not to mention a great road race class. A fake Lambo...it says you wish you could get a real one but you couldnt afford it. The one posted is a hunk of ****.
would i buy that...No. Is is nice......Yes. That Lamborghini replica looks way better than most i have seen previously. Yea i noticed few things right off the back.......paint is not really Lambo paint...it's the same code, but not the same, rear wheels aren't as wide, side vents need more finishing inside, and missing the front spliter. Honestly the exterior lines look really good and if that car was parked in a parking deck with top on....all of y'all would have said "WOW". Interior would have looked better if they used suede on dash and few other places. I'll give it 8 outta 10.
tell me rep or real? and tell me why do u think so?
werdlol i'd drop a built ls1 into there it'd bolt right up
not a bad way to spend 65k total. I'd pick that over something else for 60k even if it is fakeit looks badass you have to give some credit.
REAL... im going to say because of the motor, thats a lot of work to put the same freakin stuff in it that comes factory... plus the interior looks pretty legittell me rep or real? and tell me why do u think so?
AAND!... it has fender wells... the original lambo posted for this thread didnt for some reason, maybe the air ride?
i'll wait for few more review then i'll let u know real or fake.
pm me real quick... i wont say anything, i wanna know before i go to bed
I say it's not an authentic.
The point is not if it looks real. If you try to make it look as real as you can, I think that's stupid, why drive a FAKE car?!
I say the blue one is fake.
Edit: as for why, not sure, the vents look off, and the interior, and the engine bay looks....fake? like the covers are..covers lol. idk though.
that blue car looks so toyish its not even funny
blue is a replica, but a VERY GOOD ONE. I would never drive a replica when i know for the same amount of money i can be in another Exotic or few grand more i can be in the real thing. If you look around good nuff or do some hard core search...u can find older diablos for 80K....seen couple go right under my nose and one for LOT cheaper. Up keep on exotics like Lambos and ferrari is arm and a leg...sometimes people want a exotic they can drive everyday and not worry about up keep. Some people have diff views.
Interior and exterior is done right on the car...no hints of cheap stuff. Vents on diablo are a bit different depending on what year and model you are look at. Only thing that gave it away was the intake manifold looked too good/shiny/clean to be real.....it looks plastic.

I think the tranny tunnel is too tall, but I might be wrong.
As for upkeep, exotics can be found CHEAP, it's the upkeep like you said that will make you need some money.
chevy truck engine in a fake lambo ftl!!!
Land Rover LR3 HSE
Once again, 90% of you miss the entire point of owning a replica. All of you are still stuck in the "If it ain't real, whats the point" frame of mind and I can only laugh at you.
Not a single one of you has any clue what the upkeep on a Lambo is. I owned a 911 and the parts for it were stupid. I can only guess at what a Lambo is. You keep going back to what you could buy for the same money and they all are cars that if you drive them continuously, they will depreciatte and you will lose your ass. But none of that stuff registers with any of you. "It's fake, got to be garbage".
Some of you even try to justify other kit cars by saying they can hold their own or they are somehow expempt from being a kit car because it's not looking like something it's not (hate to tell you, but the GTM is GT40 inspired) or there are different options so that somehow makes it cool (Lot's of options on the Lambo as well).
Wrong, they are ALL kit cars, all copys, all fakes. So the bottom line comes down to this. Either you are a person who spends huge amounts of money to have something that is correct, you probably won't drive and will get bored of in a year because it's basically a $250,000 Hot Wheels car to show your friends. Or you buy something you can drive, have fun in, build yourself if you can and spend less than half of what you would spend for the other.
What's funny, is the fastest supercar in the world right now is a kit car.
The Ultima GTR.
The record by Top Gear for the fastest car around their track was done by a Koenigsegg CCX. The Ultima smashed it by over 4 seconds. In a head to head race, the Ultima would lap a Ferrari Enzo every 12 laps on the same track.
It beat the Ariel atom by over 7 seconds.
Top Gear wouldn't return any Ultima inquiries, so they actually brought out the Guinness world record guys to cover it and time the run.
It also holds the fastest from 0-100-0. 10.3 seconds. Beating the Maclaren F1 by over a full second.
9.9 second 1/4 mile at 143 mph.
All this fitted with....you guessed it, a small block chevy making 720 hp. A Chevy...motor....garbage remember?
A kit car. A fake, A car built by someone other than a manufacturer. Came to the guys house in a crate and he assembled it. Amazing what fake cars can do eh?
Alot of kit cars are garbage. I will agree. But the ones that are tube framed and usually built to length are as right on as any tube chassis car. They are usually lighter, quicker, much much more reliable and a hell of a lot cheaper. But none of that matters to you die hards. Fake is garbage. Lol

Glides, you are a ****ing tool.

Not garbage.
I see you put a whole lot of thought into that reply. Amazingly, I figured as much from you. Glad you lived up to my low expectations.Glides, you are a ****ing tool.

i was agreeing with you, and yes i did put my whole night into that reply, and as for figuring as much from me, yep i am 100% serious on the internetz all the time.I see you put a whole lot of thought into that reply. Amazingly, I figured as much from you. Glad you lived up to my low expectations.
Glides, just so you know, the ultima is no longer the fastest car (the Top Gear CCX lap was just beat by 10 seconds by another car) ex-McLaren engineers have proven once again that kit cars can't compare to a genuine supercar.

what 911 did you own? i wanna know!! and yes parts are completely ridiculous..
LS2Kid. My apologies. 25 Hail Marys coming your way.
FCman. Wrong. The car you are referring to is the Caparo T1. Yes it is faster around the track then the Ultima by 2 seconds but it fails to meet the Top Gear requirements for the test.
"Despite its record breaking time, Top Gear viewers will not see the T1 at the top of the Power Lap board yet. The programme makers specified that in order to appear on the board, cars must be capable of driving over a speed bump. In their opinion, the T1 would not have been able to do this and was subsequently removed from the top of the leader board."
Always research. It is your friend. You will also know that during that episode, the floor panel came loose under Clarkesons feet, the fuel system screwed up and the front suspension came loose under power when a dutch journalist was driving causing him to leave the roadway. The throttle stuck wide open on one at the Goodwood festival of speed and one more burst into flames at 150 mph during a filming of Fifth Gear.
Sounds like the Ex-Mclaren engineers have it down pat. Wonderful work they've done.
Neat car though. Currently the only car to hit the 1000HP per Ton rating. 0-60 in 2.5 seconds (.1 seconds faster than the Ultima). 3 G lateral skid pad (impressive) 10,500 rpm redline. But, it is remarked to be quite possibly the hardest car to drive on a roadway and impossible to drive in traffic due to the clutch, which causes you to launch at 3000RPM and spin tires. And at lowest price i've read ($260,000) to highest (350,000) it still rolls in at a wopping 90,000 too 190,000 higher than a full tilt Ultima.
Frog. I had a 1966 911 with a hopped up 67 S motor. Triple webers, flares, some old Ronal wheels and we painted it flat olive drab green like the old Ruff Nato test car. I over-revved it and had to tear it down, replace 2 rocker arms and the crazy valves in it. Put it back together, timed it wrong and ruined the same rocker arms and bent 4 more valves. It was the first engine I ever worked on....mistake.

The Top gear episode for your viewing pleasure.
Best quote "When this thing goes on sale, there won't be a ditch in the land that isn't full of premiership footballers, broken and on fire" Describing the handling at low speeds of the Caparo.

The Ultima GTR in my eyes is NOT a replica, it is a kit car. There is a difference between a kit car and a replica. The GTM KIND OF looks like a GT40 at different angles, but nobody is gonna be like "omg look a GT40." to realize it isn't. A KIT car is a cool thing, to build your own reliable car, especially if it doesnt LOOK like something it's not. Building a replica to ME is just stupid. So are Fiero kit cars that have Ferrari kits cool? lol. I know the upkeep of exotics having worked on them for a summer, but if you bought it in the first place, you can easily keep it running. The guys who buy a real exotic and never drive it are in debt...
I see the point of having a reliable replica, but in the end, it's fake, does not have the exotic magic a real one does or the advanced engineering, it just kind of LOOKS like it, and if tricking people is all that matters, I can probably trick someone with this Aston Martin replica for my Miata:
nothing is wrong with replicas. As for upkeep on a lambo....lets see chaning belts and other minor things will set you $10,000 back.
