Video This Kit Car Drives Better Than The Real Thing - But Would BMW Approve?

[NeRo]

This video popped up on my Youtube ~ a fairly reasonable review of the Bertini GT25?

What do you think of the video and it's content?

I wonder where the rest of these kits ended up. Only ever saw 1, at ZedFest one year.

Each to their own, some say. Prefer the looks of the real thing myself, but that'll be why I bought one. Well, one of the reasons, anyway. And as for the loss of 60kgs, out of an overall weight of around 1300kgs, is that really going to make a noticeable difference in the real world?

Poly bushes fitted, but he says the handling is better because of the loss of a bit of weight - what a berk.

The only reason to have a kit car based on a Z3 is looks. You won't change the weight enough to matter, and you don't get aero gains at legal speeds.

Anything else, you could do with a standard car.

My kit car will, hopefully, be better than a standard Z3 of a similar age and mileage. Not because it is a kit car, but because I have stripped, serviced and changed many of the components.

There were 4 at Stoneleigh with possibly a 5th that had left...

I actually like them more from the rear than the front.

 

[DomiMik]

Me too, because the rear reminds me of the Z8.

I actually like them more from the rear than the front.

I've worked out what it is. Hate to say it, but I never really liked the looks of the frogeye.

IMO , the rear doesnt match the front .

The removal of the crash panel at the front is what puts me off.

 

[Mark Gutteridge]

Never liked them at all.

I quite like them. That’s not surprising as I am a bit ‘kit friendly’. One of the earlier rebodies so have a legacy.

They do look better at the back though.
