Replica Exotics (Die 56k)

[projekt_s13]

I Found this website thats sell fiberglass lambos for like 20k,lol
You choose if you want a 4,6,8,12 cylinder engine.

They look pretty good too, but i think they would feel really funny since the body and interior is completely fiberglass (I know some of the originals are made of carbon fiber).
Im sure they cover the interior with some type of material, But wouldn't the sun flex the whole fiberglass parts of the car? haha

Imagine driving one to the club, haha hella bitches jocking your fake ass lambo.


They make tons of other replicas MCLAREN F1,MERCEDES SLR MCLAREN,MASERATI MASCLON ,MASERATI MC12,BUGATTI VEYRON,PORSCHE CARRERA GT,ENZO FERRARI P45,ROLLS ROYCE.



Here is the site

http://superreplicas.bravehost.com/index.html

*Pix fixed*




This lambo is 20k

[projekt_s13]

^ linked images phail

Really? They are working perfectly for me.

*EDIT* I just tried this thread in IE and the pix do fail, but in firefox they work? eh.... I guess I will host them on imageshack

[SoCal-s130]

Fail for firefox too.

[DreamN]

"We're sorry, remote linking of images is not permitted."

^ that's what I'm getting. they probably work for you because the pictures info is already saved on your comp.

[ranger240]

quote from link: "Super Replica's fiberglass clone cars don't loose their value their value increases. As soon as you buy a fiberglass replica super car the car increases in value by almost double at times. In many cases fiberglass replicas are sold at prices triple the amount more than the original price the client had purchased car for."

:bs:

thats total crap,
1. if they know the market value of their replicas is 2x the sale price, then they're complete dumbasses for allowing such a huge margin of profit to go untapped.

2. they say in general that fiberglass replicas sell at triple original price... sure maybe after a decade or two of inflation
reminds me of the gold liquidator commercials that go something like this "did you know your gold necklace bought in 1997 could be resold back for its full purchase price.. imagine 10 years of wear and tear at no loss of value... "

crap like this pisses me off.. no replicas do not appreciate in real dollars. well maybe a homebuilt exact replica flat 12 handcrafted 917 or something, not a crappy countach replica built on a fiero or whatever this shit is..

[Turtle]

What about the engines? I think thats the main reason people buy exotic cars, is for the speed?

[DreamN]

^ ppl tend to buy them for the status, not the speed or the handling.

Their engine choices range from V6's - V12's. Not sure, but I think they mentioned 4 cyl's as well.

[markyboi]

they did mention the evo engine as well

[DreamN]

Pix work for me now :D

[ranger240]

^ ppl tend to buy them for the status, not the speed or the handling.



status of such cars are derivative of their reputation.
their reputation is derivative of their prowess (speed and handling)

status is "wow thats a Ferrari, those are awesome cars"
non-car enthusiasts might go "wow that cars expensive", but impressing them could easily done by dubbing out a escalade, their opinion doesnt matter.. owning a car like that should be about making you happy not worrying about status

your right about the owners not really driving the snot outta their cars(buying them for status), or really utalizing all 4xx+ hp and handling limits the car has

if you worked really hard and was lucky enough to afford one of these cars, you wouldn't beat it into the ground either

driving the snot outta a <$100k car is cool... beating a $100+ car and risking the destruction of a piece of automotive art is stupid, no one with such a car is going to do that if they actually worked for the money to earn that car

[DreamN]

oh and I'd actually consider buying a lambo from them if I had the money. would need to see these cars up close and the build process before hand though. overall, they have my interest lol

[DreamN]

some owners actually do drive them the way they were meant to be driven. rare cases obviously.

owning a car like that should be about making you happy not worrying about statusI take it you don't live in or around L.A. do you? :rolleyes:

[azndoc]

They do seem pretty cool.

Looks real enought from the pics.

But when you pull up to a real lambo then it's going to be a little bit awkward.......

[kdashy]

Interior of them look a bit iffy.

Great idea, but not sure who'd actually buy them.

[Daniel.]

i would rock sportmax on them and call it a day.

...


...

[projekt_s13]

Pix work for me now :D

Yea i re hosted them.


It would be pretty funny if you had a 1.3L 4 cylinder motor under the hood.
You would get smoked by everything.
Well you could act like the other car is not worth the gas and not race.

Reminds me of my friend that just got his s13 sr out of the shop, and he saw a lambo on the freeway and tried to race it. he kept up for about .5 seconds then the lambo left him by like 10 cars. lol


i would rock sportmax on them and call it a day.

...


...

I was gonna originally call the thread "Sportmax Lambos" lol

[ericcastro]

^+1 rep
If you live LA/Hollywood, you see these cars all day long. And they are just bought for status.
And if Status and other peoples opinion of you is what you worry about, then a exotic sports car will make you happy :)

so your both right, lol

there are some that are driven to their potential, but for the most part, sadly, no. they really aren't great handling vehicles off the floor. Just like regular cars, you really got to work to make em handle better. And the engines constantly have problems.

I have done a few commercials at exotic car shops, and the cars can barely drive the 2 miles from the dealership to the location without leaking all kinds of shit. This lambo being that example.
http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s242/castro_castro/lambo.jpg

[HyperTek]

the only kit car i would rock would be a probably a factory five cobra replica
Supposibly the cobra replicas can be very close to the real thing. just dont put too much creature comforts in em or it will ruin the vintage.


soo is this how all those wack ass rappers on mtv cribs got lambos kitted on rims etc etc??

Id like to see some celebrity take his "replica" on speed's unique whips for them to hook it up.. lol

anyone see that movie Redline where the diablo hits NOS and the rear spoiler rips off and the car catches lift and flips in teh air and then lands upside down and explodes? hahahah
fucking they shoulda used a fake Enzo, but no eddie griffen had to wreck a real one!!

[ericcastro]

No, the rappers usually have some sort of deal worked out. Like the Jeep in the wouldn't get far video is actually owned by DUB, and its their rims on it too.
We did the commercial for pepsi/Dubs at the American Racing warehouse.

Check out that S13 chillin with the DUBS jeep!!! never mind the mentally challenged dude.
http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s242/castro_castro/dubs.jpg
and to clarify, that sweet gang sign was done in sarcasm!!

[BustedS13]

replicas i would rock:

shelby cobra
fierraro 328
lambo countach

that's about it. i could rock any of those and if somebody asked, i'd have no problem mentioning it's a replica. but something about dropping huge cash on something that looks like a brand new murcielago screams "totally gay" to me.

EDIT: also, these sites look like scams to me. if those prices are for turnkey replicas, they're full of shit. they're all hosted on free sites and the emails are all gmail. i'm guessing they'll ask for a down payment, and then you'll never see anything while some asshole in nigeria buys himself a real ferrari.

[Gnnr]

replicas i would rock:

shelby cobra
fierraro 328
lambo countach

Hmm, I would probably add the original Ford GT. I just did a quick search, the Countach sells for around $150K and they have about 10K-12K miles on them.

[Johny5]

countach foreverrrrrrrrrrrrr!

[slw240sx]

I had two fiero turned kit cars at the shop getting 3.8L GTP swaps. one was a Ferrari F40 the other a Diablo. Both cars were horribly assembled, the Lambo being so bad that i still plead with the owner about getting that thing either fixed or destroyed. the lambo had a frame extension done and it looks like it was welded with flux core that didn't even melt the base metal. The fiberglass kit was set on the car crooked as hell one side is 5" higher then the other. The F40 is better, but it still has the GM interior and APC seats and steering wheel.

I would how ever have to check out the Tube framed kit cars that offer Coil over suspension and a nice Aluminum blocked Turbo motors. Those could be nice fun for under 70-80K

[0100]

If you wanted to build a race car then it's cool. Full tube frame, 3 way penske coilovers, massive brembo brakes, fully built lsx twin turbo 1000hp engine, dogbox, cf body and dash, race seat, data, motec ecu. Look something like this. I wouldn't mind rolling this off the trailer.

http://www.vwvortex.com/artman/uploads/lambo750_001.jpg

Every lambo owner in the world could yell replica to my face and I would still have a big smile on my face. :D

Replicas of exotics have been around for decades. The ones that are built right look very, very close to original BUT cost you a lot if you want it done right and at that point, you could have a GTR, zo6, or used 996tt. Pointless in my mind for the street.

The really good ones like http://www.superformance.com/ gt40 and daytona coupe I would rock in a second, quality but in no way cheap at all. The ultima gtr is a kit car just not a replica kit car. No joke and designed right.

http://www.superformance.com/gt/5a.jpg

http://www.autoblog.com/2006/10/16/superformance-rebuilds-the-original-gt40-to-spec/

The only ones I would go with.

Kit car
Ultima gtr
FF GTM

kit car replica
superformance gt40, coupe, or mkIII
FF mkIII, coupe

or a tube framed lambo race car with cf body. <I think that might be my next project car.

I'm tottaly down for a non fiero chassis kit car

and yes a complete kit car does sell for upto 3x the original purchase price
look on ebay 60k kit cars that cost 20k AT THE MOST to build

but they do need to learn about flush or hush though.

[murda-c]

If i wanted a fibreglass shell over a tube frame body i'd get a factory five or similar car and modify it to my tastes.

It was a fake, publicity stunt for the movie.

[HyperTek]

really? hm gonna check google

[Frosty_spl]

Factory 5 and Superformance cars are sick in person! One of the companies even makes a porsche racecar replica thing that is badass.

Anything else = fail.

Fuck yeah. One of only replica cars I'd rock.

[Matej]

These are great for rappers on a budget.

[jskateborders]

be funny as shit if someone stole one and tried to sell it to a chop shop. Like wtf?
Take it back and be like "you can have your poser shit back"

[jskateborders]

A half a mill fake publicity stunt???
Cause the damage was def real...

[ericcastro]

Wrong. The dude that made this movie has money like you wouldn't believe. I worked on the original couple days of the movie. The ones that were on the TV commercials asking people to vote for who should star in it.
i had to leave, it was too sketchy, and the things they wanted me to do with the dolly and the crane arm where in no means safe.
So after a VERY scary discussion with one of his producers and his body guard. I walked with another grip. It was more his body guards tactics with me that made me feel EXTREMELY unsafe there!!
And the money they spent was like nothing I had ever seen in my years in the film business. It was more like he is an arms runner or drug lord kinda feel. Very scary people.

Heres me in front of the ENZO durinf filming

Heres a line up of his cars. this is before the Hummers showed up and he had the Helicopter doing landings and takeoffs for the shot.

[ThatGuy]

If I had the budget, I'd rock a GTM without a doubt.

Kit car or not, that shit is awesome!

Plus it's based off of 'Vette parts, not a fiero or VW. :keke:

[Rob's S14]

I would do an F40 cause that's as close to one as I'd ever get.

[revat619]

i'd rock a quality replica lambo in second. i dont care. I'd make materialistic ho bags feel bad by denying them and telling them they're not hot enough. It'd be hilarious. The pure joy of it would probably lower my cholesterol or something.

Lol, though it would be the shit if I rolled up to the next drift practice with a countach! +gazillion on the non-fiero thing.

[atom]

Theres no roll cage in that replica lambo. So if the entire body is fiberglass and that shit rolls over, what happens?

LOL GG ur dead?

Looks like it has a frame.

[mademedoit]

It's not going to handle good because it has a solid rear axle. But the real scary thing is that the whole frame sits a foot off the ground with a weak fiberglass shell bolted on top. Imagine crashing into a pickup/suv where the frame is two feet up, its going to completely plow through your shell and destroy you plus no airbags. Kit cars don't have to pass any crash tests I think this would be a serious death trap.

[Full-Lock]

IMO replica cars are really lame

but some kit cars are cool
like the

ffr gtm supercar
ultima gtr
k-1 attack is kind of cool

what the fuck do you know about handling? And my frame rails are maybe 2.5 inches from the grown what do you know about that? get out of here with your know nothing :rl:

[revat619]

This is dumb.

tube frame, shnoob frame. safety, bafety.

You guys all know you'd rock a quality lambo/aston martin/whatever the shit replica car if you had the chance.

The point of a replica car is to have stupid hot chicks that normally you have to work to get to at, come after you like your man juice was the fountain of youth. Nobody cares about safety or handling. Its all about the looks! LOL

In dealing with stupid hot chicks, you'll quickly realize that a vast majority of them are exactly that; dumb as shit and relentlessly materialistic. They wont know your lambo is just a bad ass knock off. Hell, they probably wouldn't believe you if you told them it was.

So you can either use them like the ho bags they are OR you can not get super aids-a-titis X and just pretend like you will and then deny them and laugh about it all the way to taco bell for fourth meal or some shit.





oh yeah, and fwiw, talking shit online amuses me. :p

[A Spec Products]

I'd do it cause dem breezies wouldn't be able to tell the difference

And they'd think I was rich and want to holla

DOWN

Check my credit score let's do it!

*edit* revat619 pretty much summed it up

[0100]

Haha and then when they are done drinking from the fountain of youth, you lay the fakefiberglassdonthaveadimetomyname on the bitch. Make sure you have video of her stupid look. lol

[DreamN]

^ I imagine that'd be a great bang bus twist. dude, you can be one of the new online reality porn kings :rofl:

[firelizard]

Nifty.

I have mixed feelings about them.

On one hand, they're fakes.

On the other hand, they're pretty awesome.

That operation looks kinda shady though... what with being freehosted, poor english, and using pictures of the real cars on their pages.

[Omarius Maximus]

honestly those replicas look pretty legit to me. I can tell a datsun/ferrari 250 rep, fierorrari, fake countach from a mile away, but this one I'd be pressed to tell the difference. Interior and exterior look *close enough*.

man .. it says you can use a tube or a doner cars chassis.... hmmm S chassis maybe?

[PRADOgy]

hahah found reason #1 for it to be fake..

"OWN A SUPER CAR FOR ONLY US$ 20,000.00"


haha "US" $20,000.00

if they were based out of U.S.A i dont think they would type "US"
and if world wide they would have several prices in that country's dollar amount.. dollars,pounds,yen,pesos, etc


but... there is a contact # soo... eh..


i still kinda want one..

Their business contact e-mail is a gmail account.

There is a company that puts a mildly tuned Hayabusa motor in to a Lotus 7 replica. I want to build one of those things more than anything on this planet. :rofl:

A westfield XTR is a good "kit" that takes a lotus 7 style chassis and uses the hayabusa and has descent road manners. If you believe the top gear "stig". It laps faster than a pagani zonda.

yea 89k for the rolling ultima chassis im pretty sure
i believe all you need after that is the corvette motor and porsche transaxle and its pretty much turnkey

[Bobafreak]

Id fake the funk to get the bishes! Simple as that. But then i would feel like shiz pulling up to a real lambo owner and comparing cars thats when you have tented windows and you wait till they leave. lol
Ahhh to bad their site no longer works. I guess this would be a cool alternative to those exotic lovers looking for a nice weekend car and cant afford the real thing. Its not like everyone can cough up 150k for it.

btw that lambo is not 20k hes asking $95000.00 heres the link. scroll down and youll see it. http://lamborghinireplica.com/ForSale/For%20Sale.htm

[DOOK]

If i had an extra 20k sitting around I'd check into it
