I thought that the Miami vice Ferrari was built on a corvette and definitely NOT a testa rossa. I do get amused by the stories about how much attention the car gets. Typically it's "my wife is making me sell it because women notice me too much in it". Then the suggestion that if you just buy this car you will have more beautiful women than you know what to do with..

Initially MV had a Daytona Spyder on a 'Vette chassis. After they blew that up they had a White TR on a Fiero chassis.

Yup, there actually were two REAL testarossas used in the filming often the cruising scenes and anytime you could see the interior of the car. The STUNT car was actually a modified Pantera made to look like a Testarossa surprisingly enough. Honestly while the Daytona spyder was beautiful it was kinda easy to tell it was not real the white Testarossa was a very classy and beautiful car that fit the role quite well. It is of course also one of my favorite cars. Here is a wiki that tells about it a bit...peace

Just learned something about mv that I didn't know before. Thanks, I hate ignorance and I was ignorant of that.

If you read that wiki you will also find that there was actually a REAL Ferrari Daytona Spyder used in one of the initial episodes too... LOL peace

I knew the Daytona on Miami Vice was a replica but I was unaware that the Testarossa was a rebodied Pantera. WOW

I am very curious to know how many people on this forum have Fiero based kit cars. I have a Testarossa replica and a stock 85 GT. I am just wondering who else has a kit.

I would assume most kit car owners have been turned off by the negative sentiment directed toward kit cars, replicas, and themselves in this thread that they probably don't look in this thread anymore. If you really want the best participation from kit car owners, you really should start a new thread IMHO, maybe call it the PFF kit car registry.

....sometimes, even REAL exotic owners don't know when to say when! (I saw this in Colorado recently...and yes it's a real Testarossa..)
