i saw this not to long ago, those people should by kicked in the face for doing that!

Haha, it'd be cool to have one as a novelty item.

[seanmcsean]

yeah, people have been converting MR2's and fieros for a while..

personally, i'd rather just have a stock MR2.

[Foolish]

I'm sorry, replicars are news? I don't think so...

[kickniteasy]

there's a guy with one of these in my area. I saw him in a parking lot and was checking out his car. I looked at the engine and it said, "Toyota" on the engine....I about peed my pants laughing

Another way you can look at it is, it's more exclusive than the real thing!

[seanmcsean]

making a pickup truck out of a protege5 was also exclusive. that didn't make it a good idea.

Rofl...that will never die out lol

i doint think a 328 gts will really cost you 130k. you can buy a 360 modena for that much and its like 15 years newer

[altspace]

Ferrari has nothing to worry about. Not that many Fieros or older MR2s around anymore.

[mikeski]

thats crazy. i want one. hahaha

[bidi]

Those have been around for ever, they're even sold as kits cars.
All you need is a Pointiac Fiero and the "Kit" to convert it... and in all fairlness, any true enthusiast will know right away if it's real or not.

Haha, it'd be interesting to do random conversions just for the hell of it. Old gen honda accord -> MS6 conversion!

Anyone remember this? Acura NSX into a Ferrari F50.

Wow, never seen it before (scratch). Well done, yet I still find difficult to understand why somebody could kill a nice, and to certain degree unique car (Acura NSX, even in Japan), to make it a fake Ferrari F50?

Oh well, enough money to screw-up the Acura NSX around but, of course, not enough money to buy the real thing :D

enthusiast.....yes

drunk cougar you just picked up at the bar though.....that's a different story.

"Yeah baby, let's go out to my Fiero....I mean....Ferrari, Ferrari"

They also have Hummer H1 kits you can bolt onto late 80's early 90's chevy frames for $15,000. They look good, other than the straight axles giving it away

Could be a self promo vehicle for the shop itself.

[ghettoracingkid]

remember the mustangs into a shelby cobra

[mx-p5]

They have been doing kit cars for years. Nothing new. Lambo Countache's and Shelby Cobra's out of Fiero's for many a years

True, point taken :)
