    It's not a production Ferrari, the pics a little short of detail, but it could be some sort of special........or something completely different!

    Damned! I haven't seen this before!
    It's not the real ferrari F50! It's the ugly replica on Pontiac Fiero base!

    That kit car isnt a Fiero however, it's a 94 Trans Am, with is a decently quick car on low level car standards, with a 275hp V8.

    The trouble with things like that is when you are sitting at the lights in your fake f50 you get blown away by most jap cars, which I would find rather embarrassing

    I can't explain why people do this! I also wonder how can people mount black rims on a real ferrari. I would do this with a damned VW Golf but not with a ferrari. I have searched now in Internet for more picture of these ugly replicas (the F50 is not the only one!) and here are the results. Pay attention, it hurts!

    To "crazynova23":
    Yes you are correct, it's a Trans Am not a Fiero! Sorry, my fault!

    To "sue308":
    There's only a black paneel on the back! No glass, because the engine is in front of the car!

    I am amazed at how much time/money/effort some people put into these replicas. When driving these things around, do they really think they are driving a ferrari? Does it help pump their ego? It must. Just remember the average "JOE" at the stop light would'nt be able to tell if it was a real one or not, so most of the time these "want-a-be's" get away with it.

    Firstly they are fakes not replicas, a replica will have the same engine and body material i.e. the 250Gto built using a 60's 330

    driving one of these is like wearing a fake Rolex or fake Armani or Moschino, if they want to sit at traffic lights in their 4 cylinder plastic pigs (i'm reffering to the god awful Mr2 355 fakes) let them have their 5 minutes of glory, someone on the Uk threads parked in front of one in a genuine 355 and the driver of the fake felt stupid
