You already can get something like this, called a kitcar/replica. Anyone who knows anything realises they are cancer.

Because the fags who have all the money are usually attention whores and they want to be the special snowflake wherever they land.

Because then it would no longer be a status symbol for the elite.
Also people would be doing mad swaps and beating OEM in power for much cheaper price.

I don't mean kit cars, just something that looks cool. Pontiac used to make cool looking cars like the Firebird that didn't cost an insane amount of money yet were definitely a breed apart from regular cars.

Building a kit and pretending it's legit is cancer but kit cars themselves are not.

Because nose hooks are out of style.

The firebird was literally as expensive, if not more than a camero you fucking idiot. You still paid like 27k back in 03, which is like 35k now

Alpha just did literally what you are asking for. The 4c. Why don't you buy one?

Pontiac tried for years, were dogged every step of the way and then axed for their sheer audacity of not marching in lockstep.

So, you want the status of a Ferrari without actually driving a Ferrari?

You do realize this will never happen?

Right?

>>16913499
what about instances where kit car performs better than the original?

>>16916554
You don't really buy an Italian supercar for the performance. They're utter shit in almost every way. Like a $10k watch that loses a minute a week whereas a $10 Quartz watch loses a second a month.
