first of all, the distance of the roof opening is far too close, front windsheild is flat.

front bumper is .......

interior seems like more of the 2001 VT kind

and the guy is DOGGY!!!! PUTTING a real DIABLO's INTERIOR AND POSING AS HIS OWN CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the whole car is screwed....

i still say, if you can't afford a diablo, buy lottory or try to do some thing can make serious money, don't get something like this

The reason he calls it a 2001 is because the interior is suppose to be based off the 2001 Diablo.

I'd rather walk than drive a KIA, so no thanks, ill take the replica

ive talked to this guy and he now wants $65000.00!!! so this auction is just a joke...i bet he is going to cut out parts for his high bidder so i hope no one falls for this one. plus the engine he is using is a used one.

I'll take the replica over the Kia as well, it's also better than owning a ricer Civic!

from my understanding (correct me if i'm wrong)

if the interior is based on a 2001 diablo, but the exterior is a 99 roadster, it doesn't make a lickin' differance.
It's still based on a 99 model. He could have a merch interior and a 92 ext, he still has to call it a 92 diablo, because that's what it is basically. It's not a law, or a 'rule', it's just more ethical to call it what it actually is.
If you got a upgrade on your 92 model interior or 95, is it now a 95 model? or still a 92 model?

Even the engine is probily only a porche engine, which mean's it's not a VT! Or a diablo in ANY case! (imo)

IMO, i think he's trying to 'scab' more money by claiming it's a higher year model than it actually is, thus, people think "oh, a 2001 model, that's only 2 years old!" and because of this false assumption, he may think he can get a higher price (by default, newer cars are more expensive than older cars, which means more money for him!)

Or, he's just a bloody idiot and wouldn't know a pair of tits if they bounced in his face.
I'm suprised he spelt the car name right (lamborghini)

I'd rather take the kia over the rep and walking. I hate reps, and i hate walking.

I completely agree.

well thank you

[hiphophomer]

guys why a kia there like the last gayest japenese company since its owned by gmc, but why not like a v6 or something american chevy, ford, or dodge?and i doubt you would pick a kia over a replica if you got to pick one for free
;p
im saying because at least the engine is faster and is a chevy better than kia....not cuz i like reps but at least not as bad like kia...i hate evry jap company i would rather have a fast rep than a cheap ugly piece of shit i ahte, and u can sell the rep for more too

[crayzayjay]

Thanks for that highly intelligent and articulate post. Btw, Kia is Korean, but let me guess, you hate every Korean company too, right?

[Lambo Maniac]

well i assume that too...heh heh heh...

[hiphophomer]

yeah i do and i heard that kia was now owned by gmc though....dont blame me blame my friend that told me it

[jjw879]

I think all you Lambo "experts" are dreamers who think they are too good for a replica of something way out of ther league. These guys put their heart and soul into these cars just the same as a classic nut would, who cares if something just isn't right, if they like it thats all that matters. Most of you guys probably have no hands on (real) experience with the genuine article anyways.
