Check these ones out...

I'm not really too keen on them. Look nice, though.

Perhaps if they didn't put the fake Ferrari body on it...

Considering real 308s can be had around here for $35 to 40K I'm not able to work up a sweat over this.

A Toyota with a Ferrrai badge isn't a Ferrari any more that an Audi with a Porsche badge is a ...oops!

In ever understood people building kit-cars....

Why spend money on something that is not real? Does not have something in common with the real one?

that's pretty lame. I don't see the point of kit cars either except if you like playing pretend. Maybe you could also pretend that you are the Queen of England when driving your "ferrari".

1/4 mile in 10.2 seconds is fast, REAL fast. I'd like to see the actual car do this at the strip because that's faster than a real Ferrarri.

if it was a complete car with warrenty, I would consider spending US$30k for it, depending on how it drove.

It may be a rebadged toyota, but if it drove anything close to a Ferrari, I'm sure the maintence costs would over come any shortcoming the car would have.


There is a reason that real 308s and 400i's are cheap, the service is serveral grand to have done properly and I doubt that it's even possible to diy. Also, how many Ferrari dealers do you see around, not to many...
