Wink Question to those who own fast looking but slow kit cars.

Do you guys ever get tired of getting smoked out on the streets or do you just come up with a good excuse everytime someone brings a challenge?

Re: Question to those who own fast looking but slow kit cars.

i don't think they race the kit cars - cops see you in a "lamborghini" they're going to be eyeing you like crazy for street racing and speeding, but on the strip, who would want to go against a lambo?

Re: Question to those who own fast looking but slow kit cars.

Dreamspawn, I realize that their are some kit cars out there that are fast as shit. I was directing the question to the guy who drives the stock Fiero with the Lambo body on it so to speak.

Ice, yes I would go up against a "lambo" if I could see that it was an imposter.

Re: Question to those who own fast looking but slow kit cars.

If i sounded rash/rude sry i don't see the point in fiero kit. I've herd the suspension setup is very tempermental.

Re: Question to those who own fast looking but slow kit cars.

No worries, In all honesty I was just bored and trying to stir some shit with the kit car crowd. I once saw a Ferrari F40(or so I thought) at a car show. I was real excited to go over and check it out close up and maybe chat with the owner. Once I got close I realized it was a damn kit car with a shitty interior and chevy 350 engine I believe(not that there is anything wrong with chevy engines). Well, lets just say I was disappointed because I was expecting to check out the best ferrari ever made. I always think those kind or cars are for poseurs. If you don't have the funds to own the car don't pretend like you do. I guess an analogy would be like seeing this beautiful hottie across the room with huge boobs. You get her back to your place only to find her boobs aren't D's after you pull all the tissue out, they're A's and she has 2 tons of makeup on to coverup all her acne. That's kindda how I felt after seeing the psuedo F-40.
