Sort of OT - Lamboporschette

See what you make of this. It's a Diablo replica. They've gone to extraordinary lengths to try to copy the chassis and so on - and the craftsmanship look pretty good. But then there are bits that really make me cringe - grinding 'corvette' off the calipers and stencilling 'brembo' on???!! A plastic cover that makes the V8 look like a V12? It costs $100,000 - you can get a real 1992 one for that. Bonkers.

Oh, the Porsche connection? It's got a 915 transmission

At 100000 USD I'd call it madness. Imagine what "real" cars you can buy for that kind of money

well, why indeed.

but you have to admire the work that goes into it.
