84-06 Ferrari Testarossa'like cars with the 4.9L Flat-12. mid engine-rear drive
84-91 Testarossa got the Flat-12 (7,177 made-390hp )
92-94 TR512 got it as well (2,280 made-428hp)
94-96 F512-M got it as well (500 made-440hp)

Uncles 7,000 mile 1991 example is a bitch to detail, all those freakin' side louvers. Get the looks though, and it sounds SWEET through the aftermarket exhaust and no cats.

Who's to know how many actual engines are built, there is alsways a certain amount of service engines built. Just like there are 6939 OEM production ZR-1's that were built, but I owuld guess over 7,000 production/service engines were built.

There are less production LT4's at 6,359 1996 LT4 Vettes plus the 103 1997 LT4 Camaro SS's and 33 1997 Firehawk cars for a total of 6495 LT4 cars to be produced. And in the Vette's the LT4 engine only cost you $1,450.

peace
