    I wonder how much he spent on parts for it. Awesome commitment, I'd get a wheel off and call it a day :pac:

    Wonder the price of the MR2 and all the parts etc.
    Take a look here, this is real 360. Not too expensive. http://www.buyyourcar.co.uk/used-car/ferrari/360/awb_cortesebathltd_4285280.aspx

    I thought the sound would give it away but it even sounds the part. I wonder is it slow because of added weight?

    An amazing example of engineering and creativity, but I can't see how you can get satisfaction driving around something you know is a fake.

    Kit Cars= Cool
    Toyota MR-S= Cool

    Hacking up an MR-S and Gluing bits of plastic to it to make it look like an F430= Totally not F{_}CKING Cool :mad:

    Dear God.

    If I'm going to spend ten years in a garage, I'm spending it building a Vans RV-10, not a fake car.

    Yeah, I think they would be more impressed with the percieved size of your wallet, I don't think making a fake ferrari would impress them anymore than giving them a louis vitton bag and then saying "that cost me €2 in thailand". You would keep it a secret.

    I'd be making a batmobile or something.
