Poser. Don't you realise that most of these replicas have chassis designed by a genius and performance which would hammer the original to dust?

Cheers,
Rob.

But in all honesty, it wouldn't be difficult to make a Viper replica out-handle the original would it? It may be fast, but with that truck engine and heavy-duty chassis it's no Elise.

I'd prefer a real Corvette though.

That depends on whether it is a real 1993 Mazda Eunos S-limited or a replica 1993 Mazda Eunos S-limited.

I placed a Large Cash deposit on it when I bought it.

Its actually a replica based on a Metro, but that is ok, I go outside each morning thinking 'yeeaahh that is mine'.

I think you'll find a Replica Dodge Viper will have a much more modern chassis designed by a genius using all the highest technologies and thus it will outhandle this Elise which you talk about easily my son.

Then you will find it will HAMMER INTO DUST any of these namby pamby modern cars. You have something truly unique my son and the chassis has THE FORCE within it, you just need to find it within yourself.

pwig, Rob - stop arseing about. The other thread nearly got locked and it went 7 pages off course but it's back on topic now.

This guy wants to sell his kit car. If you haven't got anything to say on the matter I suggest you continue your banter on MSN or something.

289 - if it's already in the classifieds that's good. Also, try www.findit.co.uk under the vehicles/cars/kitcars section. If you want a worldwide audience try www.kitcars.com and www.totalkitcar.com

Stick it in the usual magazines too and you never know - Auto trader sometimes has a few kits for sale (only bother with fully built, taxed and MOT'd ones in there though).

If you tune the chassis using Modern Technology the performance will Hammer to Dust the orginal.

Also combined with the fact I will do it on a budget, means it's bound to be better. PH will be Hammered into the dust and be forced to pay me a Large Cash deposit for me to sell it to them.

I will then use that Large Cash deposit to buy a Clio 172 to hammer a Replica McLaren F1 into the dust round the twisties.

And i thought that all the greatest minds were designing chassis for replica kit cars, not plotting a PH takeover bid.

Because it will be cheap as chips it will be much better; even if it does look like a complete bag of shit. Anyone who says otherwise must be a COMPLETE SNOB

Rob.
