 :clueless: :screwy: :iagree:

You asked so: I think you'll regret it and be stuck with it.

Why do you think no one else wanted it and he had to lower the price so much?

Tacky IMO.  :eek2:

If you don't mind me asking, how much $$$ are you looking at?  I was thinking od what C O D Y said and was thinking if the real thing wasn't too far off.  Maintenence will be a killer though.  Some old foreign "exotics" might be bought at a fair price but servicing it might be $$$ if you don't do it yourself.

Like others have said, if you really like it, get it. 

If it is a fiero V6, talk to a guy named V8 Archie.  He'll set you up to stuff a V8 in there!  :burnout:

If I even considered a Lambo kit car I would be looking for one like a Diablo style that is more rounded on the body lines. The boxy look is a style from the 80's. I agree with everybody else, stick with Mopar. They will always be in style.

Okay, I asked. Looks like some like and some don't. I think it looks good. It does have a 300 + hp V6. Plenty of power for the car. It's not have as much muscle as the Bee but I like the style. Oh well, I have two Hemis in my garage now.
The Lambo will be more of a styling ride anyway not a daily driver.

That is not a good kit car Lambo, it looks like a kit car. There was a guy in Palm Beach Florida that made an incredible replica, that the only thing that gave it away was the dash board.

:iagree:  If you want a kit get a good one so you don't look like a wannabe.  This kit looks so good because it uses factory Lambo parts and dimensions.  I'm pretty confident the one you are looking at is Ferro based.  The original Lambo motor is a V-12.  The closet V-12 I have seen used in kits is the modified Jaguar V-12 XJS motor. A V-6 just doesn't sound the same.  I would recommend looking at a REAL Countach before going with the kit.  You will first hand be able to see why the Ferro Countach kits sell for around $75,000 less than the real thing.

For what you would pay for a Lambo kit, you could buy a REAL Ferrari 308.

  Good point.  At least it is a real Ferrari. The 400i or the Mondial are much better Ferraris' in the same price range.  The 308's were junk.  The problem with these old Ferraris' is the maintainance.  Unless you want to spend the money on them the Mopar is by far a better value.  If I were to buy an import sports car in this range I would go with a Boxster S that I could drive regularly without the problems and worries of the exotic.

I have an aquaintance of mine that bought a kit car Ferrari.  Don't remember that type,  but he has horror stories in getting the registration taken care of.  Every time he thought he had it done, something else would pop up.  It was an endless string of red tape for him.  He finally sold it for a fairly substantial loss...    :cooldancing:
