Jut came across this article:
Fake Ferraris Busted by Italian Tax Police


--- Quote ---The Italian Tax Police or as they call it in Italy, the “Guardia di Finanza”, raided a series of auto-body shops that where building fake Ferraris across the country. Most of you would probably call these vehicles kit cars or replicas, but according to the law in Italy and elsewhere, they are considered as counterfeits.

i saw that when i was trying to find my ferrari. i cant believe a blind man would mistake a  shoddy pontiac fiero chop job for a ferrari, let alone a guy with eyes...

(although the one in your article isnt TOO bad. but being a 308, it would probably be cheaper to just buy the real deal...)

paigeoliver:
Yeah, there is a 308 on ebay for $18500 "Buy it Now" right now.

Havok:
Much better than those VWs you were pining over...

hehe. vws is vws. ferraris is ferraris. i like em both for different reasons. my dub i love the comforting dack dack sound that needs no instruments to tell me everything is alright. the engine sound tells the story (incidentally enzo once said thats why ferraris didnt come with stereos- the engine supplies the music!) it has a fuel gauge and a speedo. he gets me there, he gets me back, cheaply. i save money. and i really do like the look of v dubs.

an older model ferrari on the other hand. the body shapes are utter art. the engines- well, theres nothing quite like the sound of a 3 litre v12 being fed by six carbies! the sound is le mans, exotic. its such a sharp, fast sound because each piston is only 500cc or so. a lot less inertia than a big block v8. the engines too are quite low in profile because of this, allowing a lower bonnet line than could had with other types of engines. one of my other favourite cars is the mercedes gull wing. to get the low bonnet line, they had to tilt the straight 6 engine over a lot.

when you try and cross the two (as paige mentioned people do) its wrong for every reason...
