The latest trade offer: My Magnum for a Lamborghini Countoch

I'm no Countach expert, but that either that pic is not proportional or the body looks too short. I remember the Countach to be longer.

Since that Kit car is based on the Fiero, I wonder if it comes with one of the Fiero's undocumented features....... Randomly bursting into flames!

That would be a big passola.

That was only on the very early, 4 cylinder cars, and it was also way overblown. (No pun intended.)

the reason i said 3.8L is because it was very common to drop a motor out of a grand prix/bonneville/regal into a fiero. It was an extremely easy conversion and worked very well and was super cheap to do. I helped a buddy build one and that thing hauled a$$.

Why would you ever consider such a thing?

A Countach is nice too look at, and that is it.

If you plan to drive it everyday, pass. Now on the other hand if you are just looking for a fun toy it may be a good idea. I would rather have a kit lambo than a real one due to the cost of replacement parts. Fiero parts are cheap. Carbon rotors are not.
