Lol this would be hilarous to have for the ls1 in my RX7. Just the looks I would get from people when I opened the hood.

It would sure confuse the hell outta people

I believe that the company that makes that is like the best Diablo kit maker out there. they actually sell the exact same frame as the real Diablo and you can basically build a Diablo, except with a fiberglass body. I've never been to impressed with Lambo kit cars, but this company impressed me with there options. Here's the link to there website: http://www.naerc.com/index.cfm

I looked through the page quite a bit and saw that there was no mention of what trannies are used. I saw you could use the buick supercharged 3.8L, or the LS1, or a BMW v12 but didnt see anything on the tranny.. I wonder how track worthy a car like that is compared to the real thing. I would assume it would be lighter than the real thing.

I saw some transmissions under engine accessories. The only thing I can think of is maybe it's fun to build something like that?

This is in the same category as the guy who's 1936 Ford coupe ('glass, not real steel) was featured in Rod & Custom magazine a few months ago, his stock LS-1 was loosely disguised as an Ardun headed flathead Ford!! Pretty sad but he got plenty of magazine coverage with it.

I can see it now..."Hey guys my car is slow, see it doesn't have an Ls1...its have a V12 exotic motor instead..."


Ah I am probably being too harsh...but I have a SEVERE distaste for kit cars that try to emulate exotics.

lol, you got it *** backwards. Its for people who build kit lambo's and use ls1 engines.

lol... I don't like exotic replica kit cars much. Cobras are a different ballgame. Lambos look gay redone.
