    Please tell us more about that car. Is it complete replica, or just different engine?

    Now we know the answer to that thread about "which of the V8 cars will prove to be revered the most in time" -

    Funny thing is, that engine is more capable than the V12 in the real Daytona...lol.

    I saw it in the NY section of craigslist, It looks like a chevy smallblock with a multiport injection, Very similar to the LT-1 engine but with a distributor as opposed to an optispark that the lt1/4 had

    Now if it was a really good replica he should add a few more wires to make it look like a twelve. It probably does have more power than the 12

    Probably has more cubic inches too! Ferrari has always gotten a maximum amount of power per CC. And you have to look at timeframe as well. Nowadays you can chip up a 4 cylinder Subaru to about 600 horsepower. Back in the era of the Daytona the BIG v8's were gettin' what about 450 HP max?

    I guess they do not have to do an engine out for an oil change.

    Cost all of nothing, but then if someone thought that was a Ferrari, then you could also get them to believe that a push-rod engine had timing belts.

    Yup its a Replica. Chevy small block engine. Corvette engine of course. Miami Vice used a replica till the show made money for a real testarossa... Classic just Classic....

    Ferrari killed the Replica market. Ferrari Lawyers attacked replica companies...
