I'm going to engage because there's nothing pathetic about these guys.

I bet many people said people like "Thomas Edison", "The Wright brothers", and "Steve Wozniak" were "sad and pathetic" like you say as they tinkered on their projects.

What is sad and pathetic exactly?

They think the car's body is made of clay, not fibreglass, because they only watched the first minute.

I was aware they used fiberglass. I was not aware that they removed the clay from under the fiberglass. This makes the car far lighter than it would be as I imagined. However unless a Bugatti is made out of fiberglass this is still just a Facade. Even if they made the body out of the proper material, does this have a Bugatti engine? What about it makes it a Bugatti?

What is it you want? Should they have gone to a Bugatti factory and asked Bugatti engineers to make them one? What would be the point?

Damn, I think you’ve cracked the case. Now I’m pretty sure this would lose in any race against a Bugatti.

Also, now that you’ve mentioned it, I think they don’t have original Bugatti windscreen wipers.

Every car aficionado knows that these distinctive elements reveal a real replica from a fake.
