How does disguising an Ls1 as a fricken LAMBORGHINI motor do anything?

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.

Looks good from the top.
But if they peek underneath and dont see 2 quarts of oil everywhere, they will know its a fake.
They should add little oil squirters to simulate lambo oil leakage

This is for people building Lambo kit cars and wanting to cover their LS1 powerplant in the kit car, not in an Fbody or Vette, right?
