" Kit Cars or Replicas? Anyone here own one?
Yesterday afternoon I saw the worst Testarossa kit car ever. I was getting in my car (not the Lotus) and this yellow Testarrosa pulls in and parks a couple of spots away from me. It clearly had a V8 in it from the sound ( probably chevy). It was not anywhere near spec as far as length, height, or width. So I ask the guy what engine he has in it assuming he knows everyone knows its a kit car. He says " V12 ". I didnt respond. I asked where he got it and he says Ferrari of Denver. I asked if I could see the engine ( I couldnt resist) he said the hood release cable was broken and couldnt open it. He offered up without my asking that he paid $150K brand new for it. I wanted so badly to laugh but I just said nice car and left."

The Spotlight 400 can be used in the mid- or near-IR spectral ranges, as well as dual-range, depending on whether, respectively, the Spectrum 100, Spectrum 100N or Spectrum 400 mid-/near- spectrometer is used.
