FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

SR created FAQ to answer some of the common questions asked by most new customers.

QUESTION: Why are SR cars so cheap?

ANSWER:  In the carbonfibre mixed with kevlar industry SR competition are mostly Americans and Europeans. SR is based in Third world countries like Panama and Mexico. Location makes a big difference in the costs of building carbonfibre mixed with kevlar cars. Our overheads are down and our labor rates are low. This is the main reason why we have the advantage over our competitors and why we can sell our products for far less than the prices in the UK and USA. A typical American carbonfibre mixed with kevlar worker can earn anywhere between US$10.00 to US$20.00 an hour according to the level of trade skills. A typical English carbonfibre mixed with kevlar worker can earn anywhere between 5.00 pounds to 15.00 pounds an hour and these rates are also according to the level of trade experience. Two US dollars equals the amount of one English pound. In Central America a carbonfibre mixed with kevlar worker can earn anywhere between US$6.00 a day to US$12.00 a day. Compare this daily rate to the English carbonfibre mixed with kevlar worker daily rate of 120.00pounds converted to US$240.00 a day. This is why replica cars built in America or the UK are much more expensive. Compare for instance a carbonfibre mixed with kevlar replica of the Porsche Carrera GT 2007 built in the United States, it will cost anywhere between US$50,000.00 to US$70,000.00. Or a carbonfibre mixed with kevlar replica of the Ferrari 360 Modena built in the UK, it will cost anywhere between 20,000.00pounds to 30,000.00pounds (US dollar conversion) US$40,000.00 to US$60,000.00. Now compare the prices of the same replicas Porsche Carrera GT and the Ferrari 360 Modena built in Mexico and Panama, it will cost for each car only US$20,000.00. Look at the bottom line savings here for the same model replica cars each car built in Central America will make an incredible saving of US$40,000.00. This amount of US$40,000.00 is the clients guaranteed profit margin after purchasing the replica from SR for only US$20,000.00.

QUESTION: What type of chassis’s does SR use?

ANSWER: SR can use a donor car or a tube chassis.

QUESTION What are the differences between the donor car chassis and a tube chassis?

ANSWER: A tube chassis is custom built using the exact measurements from the original car. The tube chassis is an identical clone of the original, because we can build the replica without any limitations. The donor cars are slightly different in the dimensions to the original car specifications. Those differences could be the positioning of the wheel axles and the width could vary partially. Also the cockpit of the donor car maybe a different size. These discrepancies are not really noticeable.

QUESTION: What is a donor car chassis?

ANSWER: A donor car chassis is a used or new car striped down and the frame of the car used to build a carbonfibre mixed with kevlar replica car kit on it.

QUESTION: What cars does SR use for their donor chassis’s?

ANSWER: For mid-engine super cars the recommended donor cars are the MR2 Toyotas, the Pontiac Fieros, VW’s, original Ferraris and Porsches. For front engine cars the donor cars is the client’s choice as long as the dimensions line up with the kit. If not the car can be modified the chassis stretched and strengthened to hold a larger engine.

QUESTION: How close to the original specifications of the body design can you build the replica to?

ANSWER: On a tube chassis the Replica will be identical the interior will also be identical however the engine and transmission will be what the client chooses and can afford to install. The donor car will look identical as well with the identical interior and body paint color.

QUESTION: Can I visit periodically as to see the progression of the building of the Replica car?

ANSWER: Yes the client is encouraged to come and visit as much as he or she wants. The Client reserves the right to see any stage of completion agreed upon in the contract, by visiting the workshop or by seeing a video or photos of the development of the car via internet or SR can make special arrangements with the Client to send the video or photos via 24 hour express mail to the Client’s residence. The video can be made in VHS or in DVD and will be recorded in the compatible version to adapt to the equipment used in the Client’s country. The Client is obligated to pay for each video and delivery expenses of those videos. The price for each video and for each delivery of the video or photos is US$45.00. SR will not at anytime require a part payment of a stage specified in the contract until the Client has seen the stage either via internet or by visiting the workshop.

QUESTION: Why doesn’t the general car market use carbonfibre mixed with kevlar for their car bodies? and also if it is so cheap to build cars in Latin America why don’t they build metal cars in Mexico and Panama?

ANSWER: There are large car manufacturers in the United States that do use carbonfibre mixed with kevlar for their car bodies such as the American Corvette. Big US car companies like GM, Chrysler, and Ford also took advantage of the NAFTA agreement and moved their assembly car plants done into Mexico because the labor is so cheap. The new Ford, Chrysler and GM cars would triple in price if they were built in the US, but with the low over heads and low labor costs it makes sense to move down south across the border and produce a cheaper product for the typical American car buyer.

QUESTION: Is buying a SR car a good investment?

ANSWER: Buying a carbonfibre mixed with kevlar replica of a rare super car like the Enzo Ferrari or Lambo Reventon is an excellent investment. The first reason why it is an excellent investment is because at the moment SR is the only carbonfibre mixed with kevlar replica car business, building the rare super cars like the Enzo Ferrari and Reventon Lambo. These rare super cars increase in value each year so the replica version naturally increases as well. Most metal assembly line cars depreciate 20 percent in value as soon as you drive them out of the dealership and then drop an extra 30 percent by the end of the year. New cars depreciate very rapidly, especially during the first couple of years. As soon as you drive a new car off a dealer lot it will instantly depreciate anywhere between the sum of $1,000 to $2,000! After the first three years most cars are worth only about 60-70 percent of their original value.

QUESTION: What is the profit margin and investment power of SR cars?

ANSWER: It is guaranteed that SR's carbonfibre mixed with kevlar clone cars will not loose their value after they’re purchased from us. Instead the SR cars will increase in value immediately after the sale. As soon as you buy a carbonfibre mixed with kevlar Super Replicas car the value of the car increases by almost double at times in the first month. The high profit margin of SR cars is very attractive to investors. It is common to find in the carbonfibre mixed with kevlar replica industry, certain replicas that were built after rare sports cars sold at prices triple the amount more than the original price.

QUESTION: Why would investors see SR cars as a good investment?

ANSWER: The SR high profit margin is a phenomenon that has motivated many small investors to want to buy SR clones. SR price tags of US$20,000.00 are very low in comparison to the original luxury cars normally priced over the quarter of a million dollars mark. This is why the price of a SR increases in value quickly. The value of the SR cars also increases because they are clones of cars that are normally limited to the very elite and only a few hundred are made. Take the Enzo Ferrari for example: this car valued US$500,000.00 off the assembly line in 2003. Only 400 cars were built and after one year these super cars jumped to US$1,000,000.00. This car increased in value half a million dollars in only one year. Today the Enzo Ferrari is valued anywhere between US$1,300,000.00 to US$1,700,000.00. Also the very rare Lambo Reventon introduced in September 2007 is limited only to 20 cars and started with a price tag of over US$1,300,000.00 for each car. It is guaranteed that the SR Reventon will increase instantly after the sale. If you purchase a Reventon Replica from SR for US$20,000.00 you are guaranteed it will increase in value instantly. It is also guaranteed that these types of Replicas will sell as soon as you advertise them in the car market. Investing in any of our carbonfibre mixed with kevlar SR clones will only be a winning investment. We professionally guarantee buying a SR car is a secure investment.
