    The Unmistakeable sound of a 512 gear shift stalk taping the gate at seat..
    Like a tuning fork!
    Only Members of the owners club would be able to isolate that sound and tell what it is..
    Nice!


    looks like an antitheft key device on left side rear stop light

    All that short shifting, whats the big deal. Lets hear that baby scream.
    Ever notice how ona BBi the power tapers off in 2nd gear around 6500, but into third and 4th it pulls nicely close on 7k rpm, how in 5th above 150-160ish the aero really starts to hold it back?

    I have noticed that. Then, you go up into third, and what amazing pull it has. Have you noticed the sound changes when it's under load to the distinctive "Canvas Ripping" sound which coincides with how hard she pulls? I think it must be something to do with exhaust temperature & tuning. Under load, exhaust temps climb quickly.

    Whatever - it all adds great things to the experience! :)

    Love the car, hate the music guys put on car vids. The car makes the only music needed and I would much rather hear a voiceover with the owner discussing their experience with the car.

    I think the Boxers are much over looked and under appreciated for such a good looking car. Perhaps because of lack of racing success?

    One of best looker ever to my eyes.

    Racing success has nothing to do with the value. Any Countach with good racing history?

    Wauw, thanks guys for all the compliments. For what the music is concerned... Must say I always wonder what people who advice to leave out the music put under the stillshots...? I I would leave out the music you would hear the movement of my tripod, my swearing, and my stressful breating.

    Cheers guys! To a good weekend!

    Ho peak by the book is 6500. My guess is load plays a big part in how the car pulls. So yes the oad in 3rd gear is optimal, 3rd really si the best gear. 5th is to my tates too tall.

    Like I said, do a voiceover talking about your car, how long you've had it what history it has,how it compares to other cars you've owned, etc.

    Hey Shark01,

    I am just the film guy! But I am glad that you think I am worthy of owning this car!

    Have a great day!

    Kind regards! Walter
