    I dont know. I know they do the Ferrari look alikes with the Fiero alot, but the 'donor' car for this abortion looks like it was a hatchback.

    Seriously?

    Different strokes for differnt folks, I guess. For me, it looks like someone indiscriminately glued a bunch of panels and painted it yellow. I guess the workmanship man be fine(the pannels aren't cracked and appear to line up) but the scale, flow and form are all wrong. Just not a balanced 'design'. It looks like if you hit a bump too hard all the pannels would fall off.

    it's probably more comforatable and better made than a real F40, which is one of my least favorite Ferraris ever.

    ARe you kidding!?

    It's perhaps the most wicked, gnarly, barely-street-legal machine Ferrari has ever offered!

    To me, that makes it much cooler than the cushy GT cars.

    not a fan of the enzo either, but if I want a rough riding track beast I'd opt for a used ZR1, if had a ferrari, it would be a cushy GT.

    Back in 98, when I worked for Pep Boys, I worked on an 86 GT with an LT1 conversion. That thing had power. Put 4 tires on it and changed the oil. The owner gave me a rev as he left the shop and peeled out onto the road and was gone. I wonder if he still has that car? I know I wouldn't let it go.

    I never buy or build cars to suit a woman's taste, but there are people who do so. I imagine there might be plenty of women who would drop panties just to ride in that disaster. Yuk.

    There are two types of people in this world, car guys like me who despite the fact that they love women and want to nail every hot one on Earth STILL get pissed when they see a picture of a model sitting on the hood of a car and then there is the rest of the world.

    The guy who built that is definitely in the second group and most likely a pro choice liberal because as Neil pointed out, it is an abortion.

    i think that was around a time when small compact sporty cars were all the rage... fiero, honda crv, honda del sol, honda prelude, mazda rx-7, etc.. seem to remember there were a lot of those types in the late 80's, early 90's?

    I would rather have ^that in front of my house instead of my current 1997 Ford Contour that has 323K miles on it.
