Fiero-Ferrari kit cars and the like are excessive body kits. Cobra replicas are pure awesome. ---

When you do a kit car for a modern car, you’re just a poor poser that wants people to think he has a Ferrari. +1 i guess i dont really like them because every KC i personally seen was a POS hack job, but that does not mean they all are. god damn this is a dividing issue! ---

The originals are classic and a piece of automotive history…and are also something most wont ever be able to afford. IMO the kit cars IF done properly can also be awesome as you can now get upgrades in suspension and engines using 30-40 years advance in engineering. So now for 25-50k we can drive a look alike of a car we would have loved to have new, but due to upgrades would probably (if spec’d right and not cheesed) run circles around the originals …what could be better? Now, all I need is the 50k 🙂 ---
