SYNYSTR Report post Posted April 18, 2015 Speaking of replicas, never understood why people don't build individual designs rather than copying, I think there must be a market out there for people who would love to put a kit together, it would be pretty cool to design few models, very spartan models which could be assembled in someone's backyard, off the shelf drivetrains and axles, perhaps a carbon tub, few carbon fenders etc. Providing you could keep the cost down it might be a winner, I am not sure what the price point should be, how much do you think people sink in these rubbish bins we see in this thread? $50k? More/less? It would be interesting to find out. There are a couple of good ones. Some of these finished cars are true performers. http://www.factoryfive.com/ http://www.race-car-replicas.com/rcrp.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Porsche 917) One guy even went all out and combined two 911 engines together with a custom crankshaft! http://www.race-car-replicas.com/rcr917.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s Really a Camaro Z28 no kiddin'.... almost fooled me with the horrible interior, steering wheel, body lines, wheels, exhaust work, terrible climate controls, awkward automatic, windshield, and the stupid badge on the back.

I guess that statement IS true! Looks like it has the big brake rotor upgrade kit too. This is the new braking technology that doesn't require any calipers either!
