Of course, this is not quite as bad as when they uses a Testerossa made
from a Pantera on the TV show Miami Vice because the real thing would not
hold up to the abuse.  I saw an article once on the car in an Old hotrod
that showed a Ghost view of the Pantera underneith the F-car skin.  I even
saw the maker of the car at a ISCA car show once and he confirmed that it
was true.  Any one know what might of happened to this car of what S# gave
its life for a carreer on TV?

[Scott W. Mead]  Interestingly enough, I was surfing the channels and 
stopped on the USA Network and caught the end of a Miami Vice re-run.  The 
closing credits listed "Ferrari of North America"  I would guess they used 
a real Testarossa for the "up close" shots and the "Panterrari" for the 
chase scenes?
