Adrian321 Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 Hi there fellow MV fans. Today, an idea came up to my mind: "Why not do a -filthy-Daytona tribute video on youtube ?" I mean, I've seen on Youtube several Testarossa-jewel tributes. More or less with the Testarossa in main view. And, of course, very well deserved ones, however, I didn't see a propper, well done -filthy- Daytona tribute. Not a long one, 2-3 minutes with the best scenes of it, like the "In the air tonight" scene, the "Bought and paid for" chase, "No guarantees" scene, etc. I would do it myself, but I am pretty bad at editing unfortunately. Is this idea any good ? What do you think ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you insulted that DJ and PMT were not real cops? Edited March 27, 2021 by Dadrian 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you insulted that DJ and PMT were not real cops? This logic is not well used, because: DJ and PMT were actors that played a role and it funny to think that a car was, "an actor". Cars are cars. I don't see them credited at the end or the beggining of the episode. Also, if I was offened that they were actors, why would I love this series so much ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian321 Posted March 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 And, let's stay to the topic of my post please. It may be just my opinion that this is a "filthy' Daytona. What matters is me getting either answers like : This is a good idea because (........). or: This is a bad idea because (........). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicegirl85 Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 I think it would be a great idea to have a video in tribute to the Daytona. However, I don't feel a need to disparage it simply because it wasn't a genuine Ferrari. It may be a language issue, but your terminology gives the impression you dislike the (admittedly fake) Daytona used in the show, which makes it puzzling that you'd want to watch a tribute video about it. So that's confusing me a little. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that's confusing me a little. I mean........... First, thanks for the reply. I don't "dislike" the filthy Daytona, but, I nowhere near like it as much as the Testarossa. That's just an "identification mark" for me. A pretty suggestive one though. I can't "like" it either since it wasn't a real Ferrari, which is a BAD choice made by the producers, when they had the most audience (most budget). Ironically, the "filthy" Daytona had a better engine performance than an actual Ferrari Daytona. However, it being used in the first 2 seasons, deserves a "tribute" video aswell in my view. It made part of some really good/iconic scenes which I enjoyed. With that being said, I did like both the "general" appearance and "scenical" appearance of the Testarossa. With the Daytona, I liked the "scenical" appearances mostly (popular scenes). Edited March 27, 2021 by Adrian321 Forgot something 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian321 Posted March 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 When I think about it, in a way, I am thankful that the producers used a fake one, otherwise the Testarossa-jewel wouldn't have appeared on the show as the main characters' car. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you're not offended by that. It was simply a rhetorical question to try to help you see the MV Daytona in a greater light. We’ve talked about “suspension of disbelief” on the forum quite a lot over years, as that has to be applied in so many situations with MV. The “fake” Daytona is certainly one of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pahonu Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 I think the Daytona, fake or not, makes for better visuals as it’s a convertible. The actors are more visible, when they pull up to a curb and talk to someone, for instance. That couldn’t easily be done in the Testarossa being so tightly enclosed in a rather small interior. There are a lot of convertibles used in TV series and film for that reason, I think. There seem to be more of them than the percentage actually on the road. Has anyone else ever thought about that? Exactly zero of my friends currently has a convertible though my wife and I have one and owned two previously, yet they seem pretty common on TV and in film. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good points re the convertible and it being film/TV it doesn't have to be dependent on the weather- they can stop if it rains I liked it, actually, fake or not.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakespyder Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 I'd take the fake daytona any day of the week, even over the Testarossa. Like Nick Nolte said in 48hrs "I'm a rag-top man" 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Ferrariman Posted March 27, 2021 Administrators Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 The only "filthy" Daytona I know is Crockett's, covered in bird droppings at the end of "Whatever Works" (and let's not forget the litter of kittens on the front seat!) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Nick Nolte said in 48hrs "I'm a rag-top man" I think I would too, you know. It has classic lines which haven't dated (in my opinion anyway) and that's what I'd look for a facsimile of, if there were one within reach financially. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is also the reason why I mentioned a tribute for it in the first place. I mean, the filthy Daytona really fitted the atmoshpere of the first 2 seasons, however, it is still "filthy" for me though...... And I didn't think that people would be so "enraged" that I titled Crockett's Daytona "The filthy Daytona".... XD....... Also, when I thought a bit about the car being an actor: Credits: (..........),(..............),(...........), "a" Corvette C3 with VERY HEAVY makeup -"lipstick", "mascara", "fake boobs", ......- in the role of Crockett's Daytona, "(.........), (...............),etc It is even funny to think about the car in this way.

Adrian321 Posted March 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 The conversation went more in the place of "Why is the Daytona -filthy-" rather than staying on the subject I mentioned it for - the tribute-. So, does anyone have any criticism to my "tribute" idea ? If not, then what music shall the tribute have in your opinion, and for those 3-4 minutes, what scenes shall it contain ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to make one, I would say that it’s your decision about those details. Do what you prefer. I think the thread headed down the path it did because you replied to Dadrian’s inquiry about the word “dirty” by saying that it was a great insult to you that the producers used a fake Daytona. I think most forum members who responded just aren’t bothered by it, so they added their thoughts. I don’t ever think about it as I’m enjoying an episode. The pilot actually does have one scene at the beginning with a real Daytona. I believe using a real one became next to impossible as multiple cars are needed for production. These are rare birds in convertible form, just over 120 from the factory, as the 365 was largely built as a hard top, the grab. The convertible versions became so valuable at one point, I’ve read, that some hard top Ferrari 365’s were converted. Imagine taking a cutting torch to one! https://ferraris-online.com/all-about-daytona-conversions/ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were going to make a tribute, use a song of the era. I love this song because it is so melancholy but also powerful towards the end. From about 4:05 onwards I always envision C&T driving through the night. ...and don't worry Adrian321. I don't think anyone is enraged.

I don't think anyone is enraged. I know I'm not I listened the song, and it is quite nice, I like the 4:51 rythm onwards, and feel like it'd work in the tribute, if put on the "In the air tonight" drive scene. Any other ideas ? Would be nice if the compilation contained 2-3 diffrent songs deppending on the momment, and not just one. My next bet is: "No guarantees".

RedDragon86 Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) I think don't think Enzo was all together outraged at Corvette was being used to portray a Daytona, I think secretly it was all to do with promoting the Testarossa on the hottest TV show. Basically the show was advertising his car. The main reason I think this is because why not give away real Daytona's instead of Testarossa's? Funny thing if I have the correct is the car chases with the Testarossa were done with a fake Ferrari with it being Pantera replica, isn't that the same problem?
