- rupric, on 08/19/2008, -6/+119If 19 year old blond chicks, don't know the difference why drop the extra $200K.
- aflaks, on 08/20/2008, -3/+57maybe he's trying to put a detachable motorcycle in it, for you know, emergencies
- wheresjim, on 08/20/2008, -0/+52Actually he's making a replica of a Lamborghini Reventon, total production run of 20, the difference is more like $1.7M.

- fegul, on 08/20/2008, -2/+31After seeing that the guy was Canadian I was reminded of the Red Green show for some reason.
- thecarpe, on 08/19/2008, -2/+26This is just a brilliant bit of fabrication. I'd love to spend a few hours in the shop with the person who made it.
- mikesbaker, on 08/20/2008, -0/+23yes i said something stupid and retracted - thanks for the positive diggs (i hear there is a way to completely delete you comment but I haven't figured out how)
and now for something completely different

♜♞♝♚♛♝♞♜ - sockpuppets, on 08/20/2008, -0/+23He's clearly a minimalist.
- louiebaur, on 08/19/2008, -1/+23Agreed the only reason to get a ride like this is to scoop up the little hookers. If you can pull that off with a kit car awesome! same price as a ford focus but you aint gettin any bitches with that thing
- tidu, on 08/20/2008, -0/+22I'm moved by your perspective
- 1892, on 08/20/2008, -4/+26right. kit car is gonna keep up with a 6.5L V12
- TheGoat7, on 08/20/2008, -0/+18I like how the next item says:
"How to: Make a wooden spoon...the Viking way!"
Since I can't afford the Lamborghini nor the fake Lamborghini... I might as well make a spoon. - theremixtrack, on 08/20/2008, -2/+20punctuation fail,
- xero69, on 08/19/2008, -10/+26Spoiler: It's a modified Pontiac Fiero chassis. The photo set linked at the bottom of the article shows a chevy small block with a big turbo and some rather large plumbing. He should be able to keep up with the real thing if the finished car is light enough.
- ADIDAS247, on 08/19/2008, -1/+16Unless I missed Page 2, he better hope that 19 year old blonde chick is deaf, dumb and blind.
- rubaaan, on 08/20/2008, -0/+15he did say blond....
- DannySpace, on 08/20/2008, -0/+13I bet this guy can make a real kick-ass spice rack!
- hotpuck6, on 08/20/2008, -1/+13Agreed, Carbon fiber is light as *****.
and the original motor is a V12, not a ***** chance. - GawtMilk, on 08/20/2008, -0/+11♖♘♗♔◻♗♘♖

I win - mustang460, on 08/20/2008, -2/+12depends on what you mean by keep up, a turbo small block can smoke a lambo with ease in the 1/4 mile
the car won't touch a lambo in the twisties or have near the top speed - BlaqReaper, on 08/20/2008, -0/+9If 19 year old blond chicks. Don't know the difference why drop the extra $200k.
??? - damntourists, on 08/20/2008, -1/+10 seriously doubt it. this thing weighs MUCH more than an original revention.
- hotpuck6, on 08/20/2008, -0/+81M Euros doesn't equal $1M
- ahale97, on 08/20/2008, -0/+7http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPtub5M2v1U
Not a Pontiac Fiero but still. - BlaqReaper, on 08/20/2008, -0/+6Will you be wanting the batpod sir?
- HumbleDialog, on 08/20/2008, -0/+6I don't know that I would try to pass it off as the real thing. Hell, any rich bastard can BUY one... building one is much more impressive in my opinion.
- MysticSavage, on 08/20/2008, -0/+6He needs more duct tape.
- Zipko, on 08/20/2008, -0/+6You missed. Take the queen, I'll take your king.

CHECKMATE! - choopie911, on 08/20/2008, -0/+5Besides, I'm more impressed by someone who builds a nice car by hand, than someone who fell into money and picked another one off the lot.
- ChillHomie, on 08/20/2008, -0/+5Recently I was driving with my dad when I spotted something interesting in a corner-house garage passing by. I decided to stop and see what it was, sure enough, there was a bored engineer constructing his own car. I had a nice conversation and he said he has worked on it "from time to time" for a few years now, it was pretty neat.
- damntourists, on 08/20/2008, -2/+7wow that looks heavy... amazing job though.
- IanPR, on 08/20/2008, -0/+5I thought they were a million...
- wheresjim, on 08/20/2008, -1/+6No matter how hard you try, there's no escaping that roofline - pure Fiero. Plus the Reventon is noticeably wider than a Fiero, and has a noticeably longer wheelbase.
I admire the guy's skills, but that's going to look pretty fake. - pHreaksYcle, on 08/20/2008, -0/+4I'm not following you.
- atdakore, on 08/20/2008, -10/+14not round corner he won't!
- damntourists, on 08/20/2008, -0/+4nah, you'll forget about it in a few minutes.
- aelias, on 08/20/2008, -1/+5You're fully allowed to do this. You're just not allowed to sell them.
- Upon66, on 08/20/2008, -3/+7http://images.loqu.com/contents/345/859/image/11.J ...
Daddy made a Lamborghini and all I got was this shiny thing. - Valisk61, on 08/20/2008, -0/+4I wonder how he'll make/source the glass?
- damntourists, on 08/20/2008, -0/+4yeah you're right.. that was pretty lame.
- repmekevets, on 08/20/2008, -5/+9ahaha did you say he could keep up with a REAL lambo?
dugg you up for making me laugh. - ChLb, on 08/20/2008, -0/+4For more info: http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/02/ultimate-fiero- ...
- choopie911, on 08/20/2008, -0/+4You first. And haha, everyone can go to school...how little you know.
- pHreaksYcle, on 08/20/2008, -0/+4*Leaves that one alone*
- EricAnderton, on 08/20/2008, -0/+3If he's smart: He took measurements for suitable (read: not rare or hard to find) auto glass eariler, sourced it from a local auto-glass dealer, and built the frame around those measurements.
If he's dumb: Decided he'll "figure it out" after the frame and interior are done. - knowitman, on 08/20/2008, -1/+4I could easily put in a 7L V8 for under $20k, with close to the same power, and a broader torque band.
- hotpuck6, on 08/20/2008, -0/+3that's right,
anyone can afford $150,000 for a 4 year education for an entry level degree. - Intervene, on 08/20/2008, -0/+3What do you mean by the 19 year old?? Where's that?
- greenmande, on 08/20/2008, -1/+4UH guys... its called a kit car.
You want to have a car you can't afford? Build the kit car version, they're all kinds available made by many different companies. - Xlr8ed, on 08/20/2008, -0/+3Yep, there you have it...a $10,000 piece of crap Fiero
