Looks a lot like one to me, but since I live in a tiny little beach town, if I ever see an Enzo I'll think it was a knockoff.

I like it. I see serious potential to create something awesome.

Throw some real 6/4pot Brembos on it, some nice wheels (HRE, Fikse, CCW, whatever), built motor, and a sick interior as well as high end trim.. could really make for an awesome ride. I don't know that'd I'd throw F-badges on it.. but it'd be a sexy car.

Edit: Just saw the big pictures- its going to need a LOT of work - especially around the rear window area. At this point the platform is there, but it needs some serious body work to make it look "finished" and cool.

I had sort of the same reaction. At first I said "Oh, hey, that's not as bad as I expected it to be." Then, I actually started thinking...Looking at it up close, there's still quite a bit of work left to be done. Also, the argument could be made that you could do all of the things mention above to your standard MR-2 and have a much BETTER car. With the way he describes the frame being lengthened, I imagine this car would never be anything but a piece of work. I think kit cars are cool, but I'll never understand replicas or catalog cars...

If it looks bad in pictures I can only imagine how bad it looks in real life.. Even my car, with all its wavy panels looks good in pictures

Lots of effort went into that. Feel sorry for the guy because it's garbage.
