LOVE the Dayton and the 512BBi, but none of the F-cars look very 928'ish IMHO. They are all very different and very specific to their make...

512BB - possibly my all-time favorite car. I'll never be able to afford Ferrari maintenance, but if I could a nice driver 328 would be parked in my garage.

The 928 is a lot like a Daytona with the big engine out front and the transaxle out back. Very similar cars. Looks wise, not so much.

i'll take Cheryl Tiegs back in the day in any car... the first Ferrari i liked was the 355, but 360 Modena won't kill you trying to keep the car on the road like the 355 which requires you to remove the engine for survice... not sure about the Daytona. but the looks remind me of the old Jag Richard Prior stole in Silver Streak.

how 'bout a straight purple Daytona ?

Here's a nice original Daytona Spyder. Check out the seat as well as the current bid. Over 400 hp in the early 70's that propelled it to 173 mph. Was the fastest production car in the world back then.

Circlex, cirvix or whatever your name is - I am appalled at your assertion that the 928 was anything other than a "Clean Sheet" design.
Everyone knows that Mobius thought up the design in the shower ala “Dallas”. Bobby would be very angry.
You and your father need to go back to Ferrari Land and think Mondial.
Get a grip.
