Sonny's Ferrari 2012

[Tony D.]

If Don Johnson would get back to the role of Sonny Crockett, here's a car for him and Tubbs :http://autos.yahoo.com/news/ferrari-enzo-abandoned-in-dubai.html

Nice RIDE Tony!!!I think it would look great black!?!

[Tony D.]

Yeah, Stinger.......I'm in favor of a new paint job. Also another MV movie with DJ & PMT!

[Tom Peps]

No, not one of the ugliest Ferraris ever built! Ewwwww A bad guy can take that thing, so Sonny can chase him. ;)Sonny has style and would take that one, after the Daytona and the Testarossa: 550 *thumbsup*

Nice RIDE Tony! i find this

[aussiefan]

Nice find Tony:thumbsup:Was intersted reading how this happens when people, in Dubai, get fines and repayments they can't afford and leave the country because they will face about 20 months jail. That's an idea, because you would be unlucky to go to prison in Australia for assault or robbery.

Hmm nice !

Hmm nice !

hmm never been a fan of the F50' date=' I think honestly if you were going to redo vice he'd have to be in a well receved old style 12 year old (like the daytona was in 84') ferrari with pop up headlights and a gated shifter namely the F355, the last of the pre gizmo era ferrari's and its pretty much the last of the old school ferrari's to be as well recevied as the daytona.[img']http://www.miamiviceonline.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=5846&stc=1&d=1335398462probably a black GTS just like this one with the 360 rims on itor the stealth testarossa with the 512M bumper on it.http://www.miamiviceonline.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=5847&stc=1&d=1335398479

Very nice Ferrari. Slightly understated compared to modern Ferraris' which makes it look brilliant.

[Tony D.]

I love that one with the 5 pointed star wheels!

I love this Ferrai for Sonny,Very sleek and a real beauty.And the black is very stealth,I agree.

I gotta admit though I cant think of Crockett not being in either the D or the testarossa even though the F355 is a great car and all but compaired to having him in a state of the art F430 in the movie they really should have gone with one of the other three but as Don said it wasnt Miami Vice and he was damn right.hell it didnt even have him get into a gunfight with his pistol for crying out loud

[BrenTen]

I could only think of the 550 Maranello Spider as a replacement. Not too modern; sort of a classic and the reinvention of the Daytona.

nah I think that's when ferrari started making there first misteps' date=' the 550 looks like a supra in person and bland in person to me and the 360 was just kinda mehits like the company tried to make knock offs of there old models, the 360 to me is a 328 mixed in with a 275:[img']http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/86/Dsc00150wmsizedmn5.jpg the 550 a supra and a daytonaand you never ever want to do that as it devalues the old models and makes the cars seem like a greatest hits albumn making you want to revisit the originals and swear at them for soiling there good memoryand thats why I kind of respect and somewhat like the new 458 italia, its a 100% new and original and isnt knocking off somethingjust need to get rid of that black in the front around the badge and remove the badge in the grill there and it would look alright like they've been doing for awhile with the 550 series which has been a sad looking knock off of the daytona since 1995, I mean look what it de-evloved intoplus Michale Bay owned one, the 575 (basically the same car as the 550) which is never a good thing.although the spyder aint half bad truth be toldneeds different rims thoughbut better an understated classic than a rehash of a nicer car ya know, hence why I prefer cars from the pre 2000 era for the most part, usually around 1950 - 1986.

[Matt5]

A great choice

[1911ES]

A Ferrari yes, but for Crockett is has to be a convertible. The show wasn't quite the same when they went to the white hardtop ....... [ATTACH=CONFIG]5867[/ATTACH]

[Kavinsky]

5867[/ATTACH]

well the funny thing about that is that because of that they took out the rear window on the testarossa to make it more like a convertibile without the drawbacks, which was actually an option on the C3 corvette hardtops up until the late 70's. you could literally take the rear window out along with taking the T tops off.notice the plastic wrap around the leather and how theres nothing between the body and the seats from the back of the car on the camera carhttp://www.miamiviceonline.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=5869&stc=1&d=1335588569Not to mention the metal bar hanging over Dons head here!http://www.miamiviceonline.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=5868&stc=1&d=1335588567http://www.miamiviceonline.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=5871&stc=1&d=1335588572http://www.miamiviceonline.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=5870&stc=1&d=1335588570but still doesnt look half bad in silverstone grey http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_400784-Ferrari-California-2009.htmlbut I kinda think if he's in a ferrari it should have pop up headlights or smoked plexyglass to mimic that.and while the front bumper didnt suit the TR because of its two protuding lips and was too flat and boxy and the lines over the intakes was too thick at the front end it still for the most part looked good in while with its cream interior and redish brown carpets and for the most part worked.and the white when mixed with the right colors did look goodhttp://www.miamiviceonline.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=5872&stc=1&d=1335588896 problem is unlike the daytona when theres no color it looks washed out and dull as white is colorless after all.

well that and no power steering on the widest supercar ever made mixed in with a really heavy gearshift leaver and clutch

http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVo6DNJL9LM

and dont click on the link to the carnecks thing in the video description, 9 times out of 10 thats usually a malware kind of linkplus it looks like it was a morning shoot for those scenes and I think by then the novelty of having a new car on set kind of wore off by thenhence the oh god I've gotta shift gears grimace he has there and you figure he had to do that same scene about 5 times on average from different angles so I bet he was missing the daytonas power steering and automatic box by then

The RHD still has the shifter on the left of the center console and bent over a little. Therefore shifting was hell. I had to reach over all the way to the left. Then the car was too wide for Asian countries and in traffic it got worse due to the manual steering, esp with the 240 wide front tires. The clutch foot at least had a dead pedal in front of the center console but that made one sit askew. I do miss the looks though.BTW, a buddy got an LM002, my dream off-roader then. Not anymore. The leg space is cramped and the clutch is so heavy, that I dry shifted the car three times before giving up to take it for a spin. I still wan t one now.I would say though that one of the most difficult cars to get used to is the 911 with floor mounted pedals and a windshield up your nose and the engine out far back. However, once mastered, it's one of the easiest cars to drive. The best car for heal and toe: any 80/90s BMW, as the pedals are laid out for that perfectly. Best Power steering: BMW's Sensotronic from 83-94. Best seats: Optional Recaros from Porsche and BMW.Best car to go fast in a city: 87-94 souped-up Range Rover because of the large windows and perfect visibility. It's my favorite car of all and with the active air suspension I go faster around corners that any of my others, esp. left turns when oncoming traffic can be seen easily.

Better pay those fines Tony!!!
