I guess for the same reason they want fake AC Cobra kit or LV bag

Very true, the worse thing about the AC, is most would just assume it was replica.

They look a lot better than most fakes that I've seen, that F355 would fool a lot of people visually.

Personally I think if the company spends all this time replicating the Ferrari so painstakingly, why don't they just design their own body style and create their own car line? Lots of companies do it nowadays such as Noble.

Wouldn't it be obvious when the owners pulled their "Ferrari" into their apartment complex?

You might be surprised. Go check out the ghettoes of Baltimore and you'll see some people living in near-poverty conditions but driving souped-up Escalades, etc. I guess it's all about where their priorities lie.

I think hollis was referring to those of us who aren't in the columbian import/export business.
