I'm not coming to this guys defense...but
w/ the ongoing misbadging debate, where would a replica, say, fiero powered lambo or ferrari be classified?? There are many other "kit" cars out there that are also badged as something they are not w/o the correct mods. Maybe a "kit" is something else entirely, thus socially acceptable in the world of self-righteous car forums

Heck even looking at the 1G & 2G camaro's & the rampant misbadging of Z's & SS's & RS's...etc.
Eh...just wondering what the opinions were on this aspect of misbadging.
