Default evo #64 - Ferrari Replicas

I don't like replicas usually, but these ones are not to bad LOL.. I wonder if the MR2 / 355 is the same they had in Top Gear's studios...

There should be a law against that sort of things. I hate this replicas as much as I hate ricers. I cant believe these owners happily show up "showing off" their cars. What a shame.

Cool replicas, but they donĀ“t replace the real Ferraris. I guess to have a real Ferrari will make you to sleep with a clear consciense.

One word for those people: LAME. I am with DeMoN, I can't believe those people are not completely embarrassed that they have fakes. I don't understand their motives...if you want a Ferrari that badly then no other car would do, especially some replica, but if that's what floats their boat then ok.

People who build replicas are just grown up ricers. Trying to be something they aren't. Truly sad.

i dunno..i dont like the idea of faking it, but for these guys, it just seems like a hobby, something to pass the time, they arent trying to trick ppl into thinking they really have a ferrari

IĀ“m a huge fan of anything relationed with Ferrari and if I tell you the true I donĀ“t hate them.
IĀ“m really astonised with those replicas. Of course it isnĀ“t the tipical reproduction using olds Wolkswagens or similar.

Feh, they're just as bad as ricers. Breaking the cardinal rule of performance cars. "It looks faster than it actually is"

It is pretty bad... but I'd rather see guys try and pass a 240z as a 250 GTO, than some people who chop up vintage, 'lesser' Ferrari to build a sad excuse for a 250 GTO.
