356 kit car?

[02stu]

I saw a porsche 356 kit car this weekend that used a VW pan which made it super cheap but I can't find anyone who sells such a kit. Anyone know of a company that sells a 356 kit that uses the entire pan similar to this..

close, but I'm looking for a un-assembled one. Kit car done e30 style...cheap. I'm not throwning Porsche badges on it or anything. Just looking for a fun lightweight car. I want to buy a bug rip the body off and drop the fiberglass on. Then let it nickle and dime me to death.

What's your problem with kit cars?

They are not the real thing. I have driven both and you can feel the diffrence between the two. Still fun cars though.

I wanna kit for a BMW 507, like this:



An M20 would be plenty to power that, even though they came with a V8.

of course you can tell a difference. The kit is 10,000 the real thing is 100,000, that is a real difference you can feel.

Hardly even close. We have a customer who has a porsche spyder kit car with a worked VW motor. It's fast, handles like a dream and probably cost around $30k all said and done. When the realize the real one is going to be at least half a million, which would you rather drive around in and have fun with? Even if I had a real one I'd still buy the replica to have fun with and not worry about crashing.

We have a 1929 Mercedes Roadster kit car, that thing is a blast. Everyone who sees it loves it.

Looks just like this, but the whole body on ours is white:

No, I am taking about preformence. I have driven both a replica cobra and the real thing. there is a diffrence between the two. Bit the replica did have a 460 instead of the 427 so that might be why but still felt alot of diffrences between the two. But thats just me. I would rather have the real thing then a clone or a replica.
