The official model number is 365GTB, I think. (The 365 is correct, and stands for the displacement, in CC, of each of the Daytona's 12 cylinders, giving a displacement of 4.4 liters in this marvelous V-12 (dodecilindri?) engine.) However, I think I read somewhare that the actual car is a fake Daytona, from some outfit that takes Corvette chassis and puts very realistic (to the point of buying trim and interior pieces from Ferrari) classic Ferrari replicas. After all, a real Daytona Spyder is easily above $100,000, and a GTO (which they also replicate) could set you back almost $300,000. Bob Schleicher ihuxk!rs55611
