It is an Italian car, Its not a drag car, some response can be a good thing. There is a reason an evo doesn't come stock with a gt40

That thing just needs a paint job and some slightly better body panels (or the pictures suck, cuz the panels look a little off in places) Otherwise its super hot. 4 years to build an entire car minus the engine. That's insane and a lot of work and dedication. Seriously, EVERYTHING. Brakes, suspension, steering wheel, seats... jeezus, that guy could do some hardcore custom fab work for other cars...

yes iot is big but one of the reasons why they dont come stock with a gt40 is it is only 4 cylinder. you got 4 more and it should be fine. i dont know what size is on this Italian car, but it looks fine stop hating start appreciating peeps

An admirable feat, but he needs to find a body guy to bondo all those hammer marks and give it some paint.

Somehow I don't think it can be called a supercar if it's performance specs are unknown. It "looks" the part, but then again a Fiero with a Lambo conversion does too.

Nevertheless, excellent job in craftsmanship. And I agree with otter, the thing desperately needs bodywork and a paintjob.

I'll give him credit on the build, but as others have said, it ain't a supercar......
