OH, one more thing. Don't get a Testarossa... Get a 308, or better yet a 512 Boxer. Testarossa's are post retirement Ferraris. 308 is just a better first Ferrari, getting a rough one "up to spec" would generate enough good content to fund actually owning the car in the first place. Or a boxer, boxers are a step up from 308's and the driving experience in a BB 512 is just waaay better than a Testarossa. At the end of the day, get the Ferrari that's "calling" you, I just wanted to give you some food for thought...

Your Wheelbase is to long, thats the biggest Problem. Longer Wheelbase, the rear Side Windows is are to small.But the Condition is great.

I was a teenager when Miami Vice was originally aired. I had a picture of it up on my wall. The Testarossa was so cool and looks timeless. Nice example you got there.

My man has a cocaine name plate that's highlarious

Man to be that dude ! Sunglasses on, 110mph on the highway, in an all white old school Ferrari, cocaine on the license plate..😎✌🏽

In my opinion radio is hidden to keep the interior time less. You can modernize your audio without messing with style. Simple. Great video.

The replica Testarossa in Miami Vice looked very good indeed - apart from the wheels.

There's only 1 way to truly get that sound. Get a flat 12. The sound doesn't come from the exhaust as much as the engine layout. V8's can sound great also, but 12's have their own unique tone.

Any flatplane-crank engine will sound like an Italian engine with the right exhaust. However the only flatplane-crank Chevy engine is in the new C8 corvette, and I don't see any of those engines available

so cool seeing the different of both cars

40:51, I love it… Having a bond with a car is something you can’t describe. Brings you back, reminds you of years gone by. I assume that “Testarossa” makes you feel 16, a simpler time.

“My wife tells me the same thing. I’m missing 6 to 8 inches of girth.” Bob: “yeah.” (In complete serious tone) 😂

The Corporate Concepts Mera was the ultimate Feauxrarri rebody. You could buy a new Mera through your Pontiac dealer in 87 and 88 for about the price of a corvette and it was a darn good quality 308 look alike built on a Fiero chassis. You could not buy it as a kit. Only already installed on a new Fiero, as an “upgrade” through Pontiac. I own the prototype that sat on the Detroit auto show floor in 87.

Love the license plate lol... It just says "cocaine"

Liked the video as soon as I saw the "Cocaine" license plates

C'mon..... I have nothing against kit cars. Drive whatever you choose. But only a fool would mistake that for an actual Ferrari. From any distance.

Awesome video. I wish more kit car owners would do similar comparisons. Keep up the good work.

Should have left it as a trans-am.

I'm new to looking at or knowing about kit cars. New to the channel as well. This comparison video is impressive. And the ability to even mod a car to make it a ferrari is incredible

Hello viewers! Welcome to today’s video where we watch Bob slowly convince himself he needs another car in the time honored traditional way that every car guy has experienced since the dawn of the automotive age! 😁

I dig this channel!! The Testarossa is still my favorite ferrari ever since Miami Vice!! I especially love the knight rider and batmobile videos too!!

Love the video! Im the one who sold the Fake Ferrari to Bob! It was a fun car definitely miss it. I am glad I sold it to the perfect person that can truly appreciate and enjoy the car.

Looking good in different colors!

From the front (looking dead on) the kit looks ok. From all other angles it’s miles out. The rear looks the worst. I wouldn’t be throwing any money at it to be honest. I know you have it as a tribute to your friend but if you look at the earlier video with the cars he built - he actually got the side windows in and the strakes better. I’m not sure it’s one of his to be honest.

Do you make a kit for the 3rd gen firebird i think this is so cool i wanna buy one

Yay!!!!! There’s that Taurus Wagon I’m so in love w/ and have been since 1986

I just don't see the point.

the rear side by side @22:23 says it all now granted, I know the testarossa very well. I have seen many in person, at many different stages in my life, its always been one of my favorite cars.. but that replica just looked weird and off from the start, the side by side makes the difference blatant. the real got its signature look from being so wide and so low. the replica really aint that bad considering; but in my eyes there is no way i'd ever think it was the real deal, even from 50 feet or 100mph

That Testarossa is the secs. The Fake one definitely needs the wheels brought out, that will help a ton.

I really loved the comparison! The trans am Ferrari looks way better now, than a regular trans am, in my opinion. Also, I’ve owned 2 Fiero’s back in the 90’s and they were my entry level cars to loving rear or mid engine cars (I owned some VW Bugs too so had rear engine cars too). I had a SE V6 auto and then a base 4 cylinder manual. Anyway, I think the Ferrari with an LS engine is a great idea. American reliability and Italian design. Shelby Cobra ideas right there. Also, I’m a proud owner of a 2002 Boxster S which I call my baby supercar. Was inexpensive, yet 260hp, 2800lbs, 6 speed transmission and very reliable. The mid engine car stuff, for me has been realized in this really cool Boxster. Really like the channel. Thanks!

I had a Fiero Ferrari 328GTS kit car years ago. Was a lot of fun, fooled a lot of people.

What would it cost now a day for a good replica testarossa so you could drive it every day

Cool video. The only thing I would do to it would be to update the wheels and tires. Maybe 20x10 in front and 20x12 in back with low profile tires. You know what you have. Continue to have fun with it.

That Testarossa is stunning 😍 the design work and shape is in a different league to the kit car and so it should be.. that kit car is a bit of fun though.

That what happen when you buy a car off wish lol

Hey Bob, Richard Rawlings has a few roller Testarossa's

As someone who's always thought Ferraris are quite overhyped, this completely changes the picture for me. The Testarossa's lines, proportions and size are eye-watering. The kit is akin to a Quadra V-Tech from Cyberpunk, a hunky man in a wedding dress.

Hey Videobob im only getting 360p MAX in quality settings??? Maybe needs to be sorted on your end? Thanks

@joshriver75

I used to own an 84 regal. And you got a cool name

The front end is pretty close. If you painted the lower part of the front fascia white like your friend's car is by giving your car more visual height up front it would help hide the TransAm profile. The side marker replacement is a pretty easy fix also if you don't mind doing fiberglass work and repainting your front fenders. Replacing the rubber door trim thing on the rear hatch with the proper wire mesh is also an easy fix that would upgrade the quality of the replica. Even the interior -- if you like working on cars and have the money why not? If you consider the car a work of art rather than just an investment the resale value of the car shouldn't be the main consideration. The length front to rear of the vertical side of the rear hatch panel immediately behind the quarter window you want to replace also is an area that attracts attention, but may be hard to change due to the placement of the chassis and rear glass at the back of the cabin. If you could push the seam back and extend the quarter panel back a few inches it would give you more room to install the new authentic quarter panel window. Although I would probably fabricate the quarter panel windows out of lexan and aluminum frame rather than pay the ridiculous price for authentic Ferrari windows. You've got the dimensions from your friend's car. That also gives you the option to shorten the window a bit if you have to in order to make it fit. No-one will see an inch or so without a tape measure.

I don't know the replica is that old, the quality is very good.

Im actually pretty impressed with the replica considering the Ferrari is mid engined

How much does the fake one cost? Probably now days is pretty expensive

For the noise it's with a Cam and look up the 400 small block chevy from a truck then take the balancer and it should help make 8600rpm. And with the right amount of a cam it will sound more like this. Talk to vic Edelbrock. When he made his 240 pluss miles an hour trans am he had a special dial 400 sm chevy build. It sound the best. Now that effect can be achieved in ls9....

I put a rear tire on Mike Jordan's redhead on a 100° day on Hilton Head Island, at the mall. Red w/ Camel interior.

I think that your replica is very cool and has a lot of potential. If you were do the interior in red, somehow make the B pillar windows more similar, and a couple of other items. Yours would be great, except! Seeing them side by side, the one thing that really shouts out is, the white paint on yours is not Bianca Italia.

Bob, I stretch Fiero conversion with a 3800 supercharged would be a good choice....

Millions of great Munsters moments but I'll always have that Monkee's christmas special as one of my favorite times seeing Butch on TV. Is it wrong that I like the Turborosa better in almost every way even sound ;p both are way out of my range but something about it just appeals to me more. I wouldn't be surprised if Ferrari didn't want to do that bump in the door but needed it to improve air flow into the engine.

Theres a visible line running from the bottom of the windows all the way to the back of the car, this could be pulled off with a black pinstripe. Edit- also (I know from later videos you put in the rear glass look) from this over the roof to replicate the engine cover lines. Loving this by the way, you have a mission and its telly for us all. Not sure if it's possible to lower it a bit more? And obviously the wheels which is no doubt on the list. Paint behind the louvers on the side vents black, look at the original. Its a cheap fix up, I don't know how far you need the paint, maybe 20 inches from the rear? Alternatively you could go blls deep and partially fill in the louvers and reshape further down the doors. Its not that difficult I've been restoring fibreglass race bikes and own a plastic Lotus. for years, the biggest challenge is blending the paint after. If you add a rear facing vent between the rear wheels and back end of the body this will break up the long rear overhang. similar to an F40 but try keep the Testarossa look. I'm not stopping now, also move the Ferrari badge on the front wings further forward to take the eye from the long distance between the front wheels and the door. Paint is an amazing thing, I would also use black paint to create the lower side window shape more in-keeping with the original, you wouldn't need a lot, get some painters tape to create the line on of the TR.

I own an original Ferrari, but I’m obsessed with fake ones, I think it’s such a cool project! Have a look at 406 Coupe (Peugeot) converted to 360 Modena, some results are pretty damn perfect!

The red car next to the Testarossa is a Qvale Mangusta right? Such a rare car, didn't expect to see it in this video.

@ Max G This is a survivor Testa Rosa. Comparing it to a period correct replica. Yes, they discussed how owners are “resto modding “ these 35-40 year old cars for the purpose of driving, enjoying, showing, and maintaining. Not everyone has jay leno money. This owner is facing down the barrel of an engine out service that I can only speculate will cost 20-30k. I prefer the honest conversation about options especially in 2022. Gas prices, supply chain shortages, companies price gauging and uncertainty as to the future of ICE’s is forcing owners to make sacrifices. Of course you are free to watch what you want. Turn off the video if you must, but why not just leave it at that? What compels you to mock and belittle as you leave?

I have always wondered why folks with these kits dont just eliminate the 2 part window and cut the fiero brace and create one window with just a rubber strip stuck on longer new glass to create a fugazi window support.

the one that looks like a fiero with the AutoZone wheels?

Hi, a lovely grave but sad to see it has no information on the person. Just catching up on your videos been busy editing from our trip to London. Take care guys

I honestly don't think the kit car is a really good replica of the Ferrari. I will say that your thumbnail made them look way closer than they actually are.

I wanna see more Diablo Replica videos! i'm requesting them! -Jay in Phoenix

28:31 - Even if I saw the replica alone on the streets, I would be able to spot it as a fake easily. HOW SO? The symmetry and the contours are off. The wheels look too small for the fake Ferrari's body and don't fit the wheel wells. The rear quarter section sticks out too far. Ironically, if you put larger than normal size Ferrari Replica Wheels on that car, it wouldn't look so obvious as a fake because it would at least match the larger than normal wheel well. TO BE HONEST, I am a huge fan of real supercars and kit cars. As a teenager, I had a subscription to Kit Car Magazine and Road &Track Magazine, so I've probably seen more than the average person when it came to real vs fake supercars. I remember when the default donor car for almost all Ferrari and Lamborghini Replicas was the Pontiac Fiero. The fact that you used a HUGE Firebird and not a Fiero may account for YOUR car being an obvious fake. When the smaller Fiero is used, the differences are almost indistinguishable because of the size and mid-engine mount.
