IMHO these things smell of total wee (esp. those mr2/ferreri things). I that thing costs £25000, you've got to be a total mug to buy it and then do all the work fitting it! Imagine your driving it thinking your the dogs nuts and you get people trying to race you all the time (which does happen to people with fast and expensive cars) and everytime your getting beaten off the lights!!!
p.s. these are my opinions and my friend sitting next to me

Well i think you're wrong. Do you think Corsa boy is going to try to race one of those things? Nobody tries to race supercars because a) You hardly ever see any, and b) you will look like a twunt. Null and void i'm afraid! And why not build one? Everyone wants one, but hardly anyone can afford them, so why not make a kitcar?

from my experiance corsa boys will definately race super cars (they will race anything for that matter). Most epeople will recognice the SLR as a fake straight away (naff wheels, wrong lights at the back,no exhaust pipes comeing out of the sides, the fact that it wont sound like the real thing, probably as slow as a pig). I think £25000 is a lot of money to spend on a fake

Some kit cars are OK - it depends on the donor. Eg. AC Cobra based on a Granada Scorpio 2.8i - as fast as Puck, not as fast as the real thing but just as likely to die whilst driving
