Stinger390X Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Looks clean and well put together.Two things wrong...I don't like the seats as they are incorrect, along with the dashboard and its an Automatic!!! YUK!Just my two cents...Other than that I love it! Nicely built and detailed, especially underneath! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators timm525 Posted August 5, 2009 Administrators Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 First of all, 82K?Second, why would you put 12K in the interior and then put in the wrong seats?Nice car though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadrian Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 First of all' date=' 82K?[/quote']i just wish i could go back to 82. i think i could take state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airtommy Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 But if you're trying to replicate the MV car, doesn't it HAVE to be automatic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators timm525 Posted August 5, 2009 Administrators Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 That's a valid question.But if he was trying to replicate the MV car and he put 12K (allegedly) into the interior, don't you think he would have put in the "right" seats too?

Administrators timm525 Posted August 5, 2009 Administrators Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Ummm...not that I'm aware of. I don't recall him shifting gears in the Daytona. You did HEAR a lot of gear shifting sounds of the motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airtommy Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 i thought the mv car was a standard. i remember several scenes where crockett is shifting gears in the daytona.I thought the exact same thing, until I was told otherwise and watched the eps again!

Dadrian Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 just checking. this is a huge blow to me. i've always thought of the daytona as a standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger390X Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 No Fretz...It was actually an automatic. In one scene I saw Sonny actually drop it into drive (You can see the rear end drop as usual for any C3 type vehicle) and speed away(sorry can't remember what episode) but you are correct that there were many episodes where the sound effects were that of a standard. Check out Calderones Return, and as Sonny and Rico come into the front entrance of OCB you can clearly hear the downshifting and engine revs as he pulls into the station house. The car unfortunatley was definitely an automatic.Hollywood...smoke screens and mirrors...................oh yeh...and sound effects.Sorry to burst your bubble.

Dadrian Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 oh i'm convinced, i just can't believe i was wrong for so long.i'd seen sonny down-shift and pull out a lot, but some ferraris shift down to first. i guess that's what threw me.http://tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:YgWiyVy0tAkpcM:http://www.myownferrari.co.uk/images/Stuff%2520for%2520sale/Gear%2520Knob.jpgthe glossary article by jurrasic narc clearly shows and states it being an automatic though. and i'd read that article! i guess i just overlooked that sentence about the interior and transmission.http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:FzT04DnqcyaoGM:http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4Gp6ruvh2bQ/R6x9DYE228I/AAAAAAAABNo/eQGF_WlUL3M/s320/DA.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadrian Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 now that i think about it, in all the daytona chase scenes, crockett never reaches for the gear shift (that i can remember), and in the testarossa scenes, he's shifting constantly.

Stinger390X Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 I'm thinking that was Buddies when he chased after Robbie towards the end of the ep.Yes I also agree I think that's the one. I'll have to watch it tonight.By the way there No fretz, the new Ferrari was definitely a stick car. (the white one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadrian Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 yeah, i had visual confirmation on that one--clutch and all (stone's war).on the daytona shifting scene in question above, i just saw that myself within the past cupla days, which means it was one of these: milk run, home invaders, whatever works. maybe home invaders when castillo is in the car?
