I am talking about a Diablo I have not seen the Countach, but in my grandmas old neighborhood there was a black Countach that sat in someones driveway collecting dust, literally it had spider webs on it and empty paint jugs. Sad site lol.

As for the replicas and racing. I just dont understand why to build a fake. Especially in that much detail. You like the way it looks? Cool. I see building kit cars that are not replicas. I just wont understand the replica thing.

If you do build a replica at least dont put company emblems on it, to me that screams you are trying to make it something it's not. And racing cant really be compared. Because I am moving up a ladder, next season I might be racing IMSA Lites or something if I find a sponsor. I understand your statement. I dont really think they are crap and shouldnt be built. I just dont UNDERSTAND why you would TRY to make it something its not. Like the Fieros with Grant steering wheels with a Ferrari emblem and full Ferrari replica body and all. The coolest replica I have seen that would be cool to me is the F40 with the 2JZ. Tube frame build up. BUT, a Japanese motor in an Italian styled car, hmmm.

Like I said it is personal preference. The home made replicas are cool because someone built it in their garage. VERY respectful, it's just if I was going to build my own car ground up, I would make something on my own. Something mixing my dreams of different exotics. I dunno...lol
