I take it you're paying for this advert.

[Streethawk!]

May you answer a few questions for me about this German/Ferrenzo/Robin Hood kit. Now this is the fourth company to offer this kit for sale am I right?


Am I right in saying that:
The hood cover needs to be removed when the hood is up but its to big to fit in the car so if you take down the hood where is the rest of the hoop shape gone oh its been left at home and where are the roll bars?

The engine bay cover is bonded onto the Mr2 boot lid which is about 5" short so you cant use real grills or engine lense, case in point:

Compared to the DNA competitor:

The DNA rear opens up to conceal the top too:


The window pillar has big glue on parts that are needed to hide the bad fit of wing to screen pillar, case in point:


Emm Now sorry if I am coming off as a complete ass but I would like to get a definite answer to these questions once and for all.

In fact here is a link to DNA's photobucket album so everybody can see how superior it is to the the Robin Hood thing http://s42.photobucket.com/albums/e303/dna-enginee...

That's what you'd pay for a 348, an early 996 or a 993. If you can afford to buy a replica which must have poor resale value, then it's not much of a stretch to a real 355.

That is my point exactly. I mean I thought the whole idea of a replica was that it made expensive exotic cars AFFORDABLE?

Now I know that some people are going to come back and say 'servicing a 348 is more expensive' but you'd save that money with a 348 not depreciating no where near as much as a replica. You may as well get something like an S2000 for that money. About the same running costs, and a hell of a lot quicker and better sounding. Or even a few grand more will get you a 200mph Tuscan S. Which actually is a supercar thru and thru.

Replicas dont make sense at all at that price. How is £25995 financially valid?

[Mr J]

Or you get an Ultima GTR for slightly more.

Replica

I got a feeling you will not like it here very much

[Jonty99]

Or a TVR Chimera or Griffith for the weekend plus a nice reliable hatchback for the other days in the week. Infact probably both those for less!

[anonymous-user]

Heh, just how small is it??? That first photo makes it look like a "My First Ferrari" pedal toy.

[madazrx7]

I think there should be a definition of the term "replica".
IMO a replica is a reproduction of the original in every way, certainly not just a body kit stuck onto a completely different car.

Not knocking the kits, some in particular are great looking and top quality, I just wish they would refrain from sticking Ferrari badges on them, they are NOT ferraris!

[Furyblade_Lee]

Why do we buy kitcars and not normal cars?

My reason is big performance for a reasonable cost. The fact that the kitcars I have had look a bit "posey" (Furyblade and Libra) is just a side-effect. The performance and cost are the first things for me. Those "posey" Ferrari replicas (£25K!!!!!) tick none of my boxes I am afraid. I understand why people would want one of those on their drive to admire through the window, but anyone who has heard a 360 at full chat will know they look stupid when they have their little 4-pot singing away behind them. I could see a great market as holiday hire cars, they would look great in your holiday pics around Jersey, but as a dynamic sportscar...............no. As someone stated, that £25K buys you a whole lot of 911. I drove an MR2 round Brands and it was, well, not that good being kind. Would feels stupid if it was dressed as a Ferrari. "Replica" is not deserved for these. these are "external visual reproductions". Or "W**k".

Can you answer my questions on the Ferrenzo as posted near the top of the page please, I think for someone to go out and spend 26k on a kitcar and for it to have the problems I outlined would be ridiculous. Doesnt say much about the you, the seller, to not answer questions about your product, if this is your pre customer service I wonder what aftersales will be like!?
