I drive a Lambo for myself. I dislike replicars because I dislike forgeries, frauds, imitations, rip-offs or whatever you want to call them. I can't afford an Audemars Piguet watch or a real painting by Degas; well I could afford a very well used AP watch, but not anything like what I'd want ($45k+), but I'm not going to go out and buy a fake or build a fake and put the AP name on it and tell people it's legit. I don't appreciate people who have fake watches or art as much as I don't appreciate people who have fake Lambo's because it's living a lie no matter what nice "I spent 10,000 hours building this fake" label you want to put on it. I don't care how much effort they invested in their fake car, it's insulting to the designers and engineers who spent all their time designing the real thing, and the artisans who carefully assemble them.
Intelligent replicar builders who actually have the skills to do what they do should build cars that are designed for that, such as the Ultima GTR, then you end up with something that outperforms a Lamborghini and you can brag about it from that perspective instead of I built a fake Lamborghini which underperforms the real thing but look at how much money I saved.
