    Clones or Whatever
    « on: August 29, 2007 - 05:54:30 PM »
    No such thing in the mopar world...think about it? a clone car is a Pontiac Fiero with a Lambo kit on it???

    The only mopar part on my 499 is the shaft holddowns....does this make it a "clone" 440..... :villagers:
    what about the megablock that has no mopar parts on it??? wanna be 440???

    No more using the word Clone on this website!!!

    I know what you're talkin' about.  I had a peave about it some time ago and we had a big discussion on the subject here and came to the conclusion that there is no such thing as a true clone in the car world.

    I agree with all you guys, but, whats a better generic word for a car that is not original / is posing to be something else?

    I AM NOT SAYING POSING IN A BAD WAY!   :grinno:

    I don't like the word myself but for some it's an easier and faster reference. It's a "440+6 70 Cuda clone" is a lot easier to tell someone rather than: "It's a 440+6 70 Cuda with all parts you'd find on a factory car but the engine has a different VIN number on it, so it's close but not quite a factory car yet I used all the correct parts as you would see on a concourse car".

    It all depends how anal you want to get. You could argue the point that nothing in this world is a clone. That sheep has a 1/100000th of a dot on it's chest, that one doesn't. I think clone cars are out there and can be done. Restore a car to factory concourse condition and use a Warranty block. Cars came from the factory like that. But, of course the Fender will be incorrect but still. It's ether that or a replica or just say what it is but say it's non-#s.

    I found this definition on the internet.... :roflsmiley:  :roflsmiley:

    clone

    n. 1. An exact duplicate: "Our product is a clone of their product." Implies a legal reimplementation from documentation or by reverse-engineering. Also connotes lower price.
    2. A shoddy, spurious copy: "Their product is a clone of our product."
    3. A blatant ripoff, most likely violating copyright, patent, or trade secret protections: "Your product is a clone of my product." This use implies legal action is pending.
    4. `PC clone:' a PC-BUS/ISA or EISA-compatible 80x86-based microcomputer (this use is sometimes spelled `klone' or `PClone'). These invariably have much more bang for the buck than the IBM archetypes they resemble.
    5. In the construction `Unix clone': An OS designed to deliver a Unix-lookalike environment without Unix license fees, or with additional `mission-critical' features such as support for real-time programming.
    6. v. To make an exact copy of something. "Let me clone that" might mean "I want to borrow that paper so I can make a photocopy" or "Let me get a copy of that file before you mung it".


    My vote is to drop the term "Clone" from the automotive field all together.  It is more of a medical term than a term to discribe cars.
