Crocket's amazing! able to id an engine's HP or CI by a mere distant sound! No wonder my friends, family, ex's, and current gfriend make fun of me.

Anywho, has anyone ever heard of a 641, vintage 1984 of course?
511s. I remember that episode. I thought he had a good ear.

If I recall, your 35 had the same stripes as Gary's but yours were blue, black, and silver where Gary's had red instead of the blue. Gary's was the first 35 with full race hatches; we convinced Craig Barrie at the time to change the half hatches to full, so he made a new hatch mold. I almost want to say that yours had half hatches, but like you said that was 20+ years ago so the memory is a little faded.

But even after all these years I'll bet you remember that crazy hat Phil Meshinsky used to wear on the poker runs.

The next time I'm in Lauderdale, we should catch up.

Barry – I do remember Phil, and the Apache’s, PTM Express, Lucky Strike. I’ve lost track of everyone over the years, and it would be great to reconnect with old group. Back in the day, I did spend a lot of time at Turnberry because it was close to Cigarette, and Ron Doller was helping me with a redo. Bill was having Ron redo Lethal Weapon at about the same time. Now I spend 90% of my time in Washington.

Sorry to burst your bubble but that is all script writing. The sound is all dubbed in later. GM big blocks of 500 CI back then were mostly based off the truck engines which were the tall decks so they could be stroked to over 500 cubes. There were some exotic aluminum blocks running around of monstrous size (around 540 CI) but very experimental.

I just watched that episode. They broke a major offshore boating rule when they left the fender out while riding around. Booooo.

I agree, I have one of those old truck talldecks! I just figured that DJ, who as 7x suggested actually knew engines pretty well, would have put some factual info into the script. Oh well, sometimes the 'real' ferrari daytona was an auto and sometimes a manual, what should we expect, it is a TV show!
