Hoop style roll bars behind the seats may not be a bad idea.

O_o I guess just as much as they put into the lambos
we've all seen their frames

I guess it would be a waste of time for them to put on a cheaper set of wheels for the test :\

I agree, you never know what might happen. Loose nut, broken bolt, bad weld, anything could happen with our builds that could end up like this. A few other things to consider, we BUILD our cars NOT BUY, so with that being said I would think that we would have more pride and drive more careful with something we have so much time and thought invested. Most owners that drive these "Supercars" have more money then brains and sadly some end up like this ::sad

Yes. Agreed. I won't be going faster than 280Km/h ........ around corners .........  ::bounce after having a couple  ::beers ........

I wonder what someone would be thinking after hitting what they think is a real lambo at first!

Totally agree with this. I believe everyone should incorporate some type of rollbar in their build. dave

This was shared with me the other day and I thought it was with sharing simply for the fact that everyone realizes what can and does happen to movable objects like automobiles.  Drivers and passengers can become injured or even killed regardless if it's a replica or the real deal.  This was a real Lambo and the driver didn't survive.   

Build them safe guys!
