I didn’t really bond with it because it wasn’t a Daytona if you know what I mean. I don’t miss it at all, didn’t do much for me unlike the Boxer or 246 or in particular the 575 which I would not swap for a C4
After Ian's POV re the handling I wondered why Boof in Bris persevered with trying to make his black LHD one handle for both track work and rallies. He,by the way Ian was talking,could have possibly saved a big pile of dosh just putting it into the family RHD 365 like Ross Williams did in his first couple of TT's..
Very early Dino up to $52.500 at Lloyds https://www.lloydsonline.com.au/LotDetails.aspx?stype=0&stypeid=0&kw=Ferrari+&cid=0&smode=0&lid=2881828
The difference between C4 and GT4 is marginal, just extra stability from the longer wheelbase. Both cars are very conventional in layout with a front gearbox and about a quarter of the engine & ancillaries mass in front of the front axle line. Daytona has a rear transaxle and the engine sits further back, behind the axle line, which makes a significant difference to handling. That's why adverts saying the "C4 is based on a Daytona chassis" is such a load of hooey. The C4/GT4 chassis was developed from the 365GT 2+2, the Daytona from the 275 GTB. TB is no fool. He bought a left hook C4 when they weren't worth much more than US$60K and our dollar was at parity, so he was unlikely to over capitalise the car. I think the car looks great and has been tastefully modified.
I don't know how many telephone numbers he used trying to make it handle the way he wanted according to my mechman.
