Wow, the work put into that is impressive, but it is so cost ineffective.

You can get a real Countach for $120k (i.e. ebay motors item # 150305895871).
If you put money each month into even the most modest of savings accounts (i.e. 3%) for 10 years you would end up with enough to buy that car from putting away $800/month.
Compare that to 10 years of your own "free" time + knocking down a wall and building a ramp to your basement + all the parts for that car + the red tape of licensing a home-made car + at the end of the day owning a fake Lambo = IMO not worth it.

I agree with all of this except the part about a fake lambo. true the fake lambo is fake but it's a car he hand built himself and the real ones were really unreliable. drive one in town and you'll be stopping everywhere just to let it cool down. they looked cool but they couldn't stay cool.

Worth it or not, it is the fact that the man built a car, in his basement (well, location doesn't really matter at this point), on his own!

10 years is a damn long time, how many of us can say we spend that much time to build something this massive scale? Insane skill, just like the guy who built the custom Mini on Honda-Tech, unreal.
