The best kit cars I have personally seen are made by Noble. Nobles are very fun cars; essentially a race car for the street.

I remember a Countash replica when I was a kid made by a company I think was Prova?? Can't remember the name for sure but the car had a tube frame and was an exact match of the real thing and only about 25% cheaper then the real thing. I have a photo of one around here some where. If I find it I will have someone scan it in and post it.

Yup, the K1 Attack is one of the best looking kit cars around. Too bad I've heard that getting parts for them is very hard.

I like Ford GT40 replicas. They are bad ass, replicas or not. Love it love it love it.

Generally a replica is a fake and that's a fact - don't care how real your Rolex is... But old classics are awesome.


Lamborghini Countach replicas etc. are just dull.

I worked on this myself it's an NSX converted to an NSX. Probably the most accurate replica ever.

Second best kit is the Noble duh
