Dude, that's called constructive criticism.

Problems? I have no problems. I own modified Fieros. ------------------

Mine is modified too - and there is something wrong with you - I dont know what - but again and again you are so annoying. You've got nothing better to do I guess.

I'm starting to wonder if we are just arguing about an interpretation of words. I avoid the term "kit car" because as said previously people then think they can buy a kit. Nobody sells a kit for a car like mine. So I describe it as a replica which to some people means that it is exactly like the original. There are some that actually strive for that exactness and that is their goal. Obviously my car is not a replica in that respect nor is it a kit car. I can't help myself. I love the look of the original, but I don't have to make it exact. I will try to stay true to the original designers concepts, partly because I have a lot more respect for their design talents than my own. I'm also trying to replicate the performance of the original. I am absolutely sure that there is not one car in the world that is like mine. It is not a fake. It is an tribute to the original with the side benefit of being much cheaper and easier to maintain. I guess that if I was a multimillionaire with unlimited funds I would consider buying the real thing, but I'm not sure. I've always liked doing things MY way. Even my minivan is modified.

Dr phil. Points out the obvious and then poses like he is a genius.

So let's summarize the "rules":
1. unless it's indistinguishable from the real thing in every respect, it's "stupid"; and
2. the only other intelligent option is to build a tweaked chop top wide body Fiero.
What a waste of time it is arguing with a closed mind. Time to move on...

Here is, in my opinion, a pretty good example of a fairly inexpensive Diablo replica.
It has fixed windows and the rear bumper is attached so it looks sort of funny but I still like the basic lines and stance of it.
