check this Ferrari/MR2!! Looking good!!

[Johnr32]

That's the trouble with showcasing a Ferrari next to an MR2 - everyone will think it's a replica! It's also why I couldn't own an F355, despite them being very pretty cars, a lot of people's first reactions would be "...is that an MR2 or a real Ferrari?"

Looks like bit of a beast though!

To the untrained eye it may well be a kitted mr2 but It wouldnt put me off owning a ferrari if I could afford one.

Well shut my mouth, I thought that was a replica

Is that an air jack point I see on the rear panel?
Very nice

Spot on..

If that's a 430 why no quad pipes?

If that's a 430 why no quad pipes?

Its a 430 Challenge car which is like ferraris version of the porsche carrera cup cars.



Note the airjack port at the rear and the same dual exhaust system.

Its a fake but the engine and interior pics are real - most probably filched off the internet. LOL

C'mon Luke put up another pic of the engine bay showing the other mr2 in the background rather than a "white out".......???!!! ;-')

[Driftlimits Performance]

What makes you think it's a fake then Jeff?

[JeffD]

Bit suspicious of the closely cropped pics and the areas/angles you've photographed ie. no pics side on etc. LOL

but also....

Panel fit generally appears poor

Vertical fins on diffuser are too small (should be more like the MR2?!)

Exhaust Tail pipes protude too far/don't look right

And unless my eyes are deceiving me the relationship of the badge and that sensor appears to move between the pics in your garage and the engine pics.

Am I right....? LOL

Mk3 mr2? Panel gaps look huge to be genuine unless they were made like it for some unknown purpose? Height and width look way out for an sw20 :/

[danjama]

Compare the 430 challenge photo above. The panel lines are giving it away. Still bloody good though.

[Tsia]

It doesn't look like a fake from here, the pictures originally posted and the cropped pictures match up, look at the air jack point, the shape of the cage etc

[Driftlimits Performance]

Ok so just to clarify, this is a genuine Ferrari F430 Challenge!





It's wicked bad.

That yours Luke? May have to nip up and take a look-see if so

TT lump goes into the new Supe soon, wheels been refurbed etc, she's looking much tastier than when I first visited

[JeffD]

Apologies for the insult to the owner then! Whats the story on it then? (and if you still have it on Monday I wouldn't mind a nosey after work if your about)

[Slarty]

One of the worse looking fakes I've seen!

*sniggers*

[Odin_S]

I just remembered I need my um.. brake looking at.

Too late, its already gone!
