i think its pretty cool. last year went to an ol' school car show and someone showed up w/a "KIT" lambo replica. Looked really nice in person. Had me fooled cause I couldnt tell the differance cause I didnt know the differances. My friend explained to me that they made kits to make it a replica. Either way a lambo is a lambo....whether low end grade or high end grade....

Must of been cool for an 18 year old to take to prom lets me honest here. My ride to prom (1997) was a shitty rental Dodge neon (cause it was cheap as hell), lol....but it sure got the job done in the pack seat and parking lot of Great Adventures CHEESE lol .

Well it's cool I think you got to roll in that thing...that at least is a cool memory for prom.

Um... No it's not. A kit car is a fake. Nothing on that car is made by Lamborghini. I'm sure I would have driven it to prom at 17 too, no way you'd catch me dead in that thing now though!

BTW, I've got a sweet set of VORK wheels from RAVS ENGINEERING to sell you!

oh man that thing is ugly.

Not this one. This one is way to clean. I'll take a pic of a real one tomorrow on my way to work and post it if I get time if not when I get home.

I've seen both the real deal and kit car in person. So easy to tell the difference, but again I'm a designer and notice so many details. One look of the interior and you know for sure it's not high quality Italian craftsmanship. I remember as a kid in the 80's having all the Countach variations of posters, cut out pages from auto mags, I even built a 1/12 scale model. That thing was the biggest plastic model I ever put together. So many details, down to actual spark plug wires.

Especially considering the original design emerged in the early to mid 70's. Outrageous back then and one of the main reasons Lamborghini is what it is today. I still think the best looking Countach's where the early ones with no aero-enhancements, fins or anything.

+1. I remember having a poster of a white Countach in my room, right next to my Cindy Crawford poster... ah, those were the days.

Here's one I saw recently at a local exotic meet. Even in this crappy cel phone pic you can see the superior quality (and yeah, that's a 40th anniversary Murciélago behind it, only 50 made):

It was good enough for me to take it to prom... =)

JRichter

No doubt, I'd be pimpin that thing either way...

You drove a Pontiac Fiero to prom . Hahahahahaha. How did you not know if the car was fake or not? Even kit car's interiors will give it away. That's bull.


Sorry for your lost.

reddevilwarrior

I didnt lose aynthing
I will try to take pics of the interrior, next time when I go home.
It looked pretty good back then... well I have never seen the real countach(?).
I wouldnt know how to compare.

Speed wise, it was fast. like I said that thing weighs less than 2000pounds.
mehhhh
