my mysterious gold carrera gt

[clutch-monkey]

what about the GT40 replicas? they're all nicely done here in NZ....

i'm thinking about getting one from a local company, imo they look fine but then it is a replica of an old car, whereas the CGT replica is of a contemporary car..i don't know why but for some reason i think that makes the CGT replica more stupid
also the GT40 replica's have performance close to the original's, which helps

Anyone who drives any sort of replica car (except like Lotus 7's and the like) is just a sad person in my eyes. Go real or go home. PArticulary that one. Its rubbish!

Every GT40 kit I've seen has been as good as the original in style, construction and performance
The Lancia Stratos kit is AN EXACT COPY of the original.
Many Stratos owners are fitting the kit parts when their's breaks
Cobra replicas are often BETTER than original as they use more modern components and suspension geometries and engine/drivetrains.

There IS a class of "replica" though that sucks and it seems to all centre around the Pontiac Fiero. With one exception EVERY one I've ever seen is hideous and perorms even worse ( the exception was a Ferrari whcih from abtou 20 yds looked passable .... but you got close and it was obvious if you knew Ferrari. Off course you started it up adn just laughed !!!
