I have to chime in here. This thread was originally started 4 years ago in regards to the ending of KIT CAR magazine. The thread was to lament the demise of a publication, but for some reason this thread has turned into a debate which has spilled over to the other thread that I started which was started to encourage people to send pics of their cars, not to turn into a feud. It was suppose to open dialog about the cars. If anybody wants to start a thread about choptop widebody Fieros vs Fiero based kitcars then they are free to do so. Please let's get back to the reason why we are here and that is the cars.



Any thread with Kit Car in the title will be ruined by Madcurl and his hate. His opinion is all that counts...... he lives in a fantasy world.
You are the OP of the Kit Car Registry thread so I would like your opinion, do you think a car with the Madarch KIT on it is a Kit Car. I know that they would not be classed as a Kit Car in any Fiero show I know of. They have all been in many show and they were never placed in the Kit Car class. I don't think these cars belong in the thread that made to showcase Kit Cars and rebodys.

Oh but, they do try.



If those who set out to build a "replica" and are not trying to make a exact copy-then why do they badge it?

A person badges a car he/her is saying this is a replica of the original and is therefore worthy of badging.

You know, after reading your latest petulant attempt at psychology and trying to discern, discredit and discriminate against who, what, when, where and why, people have kit cars and/or replicas, I have concluded that you are likely suffering from 'Transference' or in psychological terms simple 'Penis envy'.



"Penis envy"? I'm Black.

Let`s for arguments sake say that it must be badged something.
You can`t put a Fiero badge on it.
And I don`t think you can get a badge that says Lamborghinin Replica so a Lamborghini badge is the next best thing.
I guess you could just leave the badge off and tell people it`s a replica.
I think it`s funny that ever since I got Amida`s front nose which is modeled after a Ferrari nose and I have the Fiero badge right in the middle of the grille, people will look real close to see what it says.
From a distance the Fiero badge sort of looks similar to a Ferrari badge that`s on the side of a 512 and in most shows or Cars & Coffees I go to it`s parked in between two cars so you can mostly just see it from head on.

"Penis envy?" I'm Yugoslavian. It looks like a brick on the end of an arm. :razz:

Now, back to your regular hate spit by madcurl. You know, the one with a kit car, that is not a kit car?

Madcurl, feel free to do some work on your own car there buddy. When you know how to use a wrench, then I will respect you. Until then, keep being a biatch. The sand in your vagina is flowing.

I appreciate your compliment. Thanks!

Back then 308/328 and a few F40 and Countach kits were available and although the money for them was all relative to the times, a kit car was, and still is, a very attractive proposition. Today there are F355s, a 458 is out there too. Lambo Murcielagos, Diablos, Reventons and Aventadors for a fraction of the real cost. I couldn't care less about a kit car being an exact replica, or a re-skinned Fiero, but I do care about lower maintenance costs and the appeal of having what looks like a megabuck exotic for a relative pittance.

I like Formula 1, but won't likely get a chance to drive or race an F1 racecar (although I have driven a Formula Ford) without a significant outlay of cash. Should I quit having fun by not racing go-karts instead?

Of course not!

So if I like exotic cars and can buy or build a kit car replica of an exotic -- why shouldn't or wouldn't I? There's a cost - yes, but the value is so great, that I have to question the judgement of anyone who would find fault with a replica, even if they could afford the real exotic.

Is a replica the Real car?
It can be a real good looking car- YES!

Is a replica a Real Expensive car?
Compared to the 'real' car - NO!

Is a replica a Fun car?
OH YEEEEEAAAH!

Look, I already KNOW you don't appreciate and have never built a kit car or replica and seeing as you've proven you don't understand, or know, a blasted thing about replicas or kit cars, your opinions means nothing to me. So you just keep on playing with your Fieros and I'll keep on enjoying Fiero kit cars!



The fact that you are commenting shows that "it does mean something to you"especially since the "cars" featured in this thread by me aren't your cars.

Once again, it proves that regardless of how bad a exotic replica is built there are those here that would defend anything that exposes the defects. Those who dare are dealt the with the likeness of a true NRA (National Replica Association) zealot. It's a, "All for one and one for all" mentality for you know that if one crappy build falls-it might spread to the rest of them. Non of the owners of crappy builds have no desire to correct the mistakes for it's too costly. This is why there's dozens of them now on Ebay trying to unload them onto the next uninformed buyer.

You've proven yourself again today to be an instigator and a troll who knows nothing of what you speak about here, so your opinions NOW mean nothing to me!

And, FYI, I am Black and a RastaMan.....thus my I.D.- - I FAR I.....which means ONE FOR ALL and ALL FOR ONE!

Some people have talents in turning a wrench while others in design. End the end plenty of people have benefited by the creation of the MadArch widebody kit. If that is what you call, "Vagina" I take that as a compliment.
