    Hmm.




    Let's see.

    Look's the same, better than the other orange one actually.
    Performance could be right around the same with a built LS1 except for top end, and who the hell needs to go that fast anyway.
    Parts are EXTREMELY on the cheap side compared to a real Lambo.
    It's about...oh $100,000 bucks cheaper, give or take $50,000 or so.
    You could ACTUALLY drive it. Because let's face it, if you spend $250,000 on a Murcielago, you would never drive it. Because to drive it means you devalue it.

    That's the driving force behind replica's. The ability to own something AND enjoy it without having to plunk down a quarter mil to watch it sit in your garage.

    If you're gonna do it, overdo it.

    QFT.....

    Not to mention the fact that if someone took on the building of the car on their own, they would save a lot of money on labor, which would bring the overall build cost down dramatically.
    There are quite a few pros for building a rep like this....
    A. Reliabily and like you mentioned the car could be driven on a daily basis. That can't be said for the real deal.
    b. The car looks almost exactly like the real thing and only a true afficionado would be able to tell the difference.
    C. It's just bad ass, plain and simple.

    Would I be able to lie to ppl if they asked if it was real or not?
    That I don't know.

    I wouldn't lie, especially if I built it. I'd stand tall and proud and say "Nope, it's fake, I built it from the groundup"

    True car guys would say, damm. Pretty good job man. Only people who couldn't do that feat would clown.

    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.
