    That would be a fantastic drive - 475 horses!

    Very interesting, I kind of doubt the 475hp claim (look at the build up
    Carabou did on one of these engines) but I'm interested in the fuel injection setup.

    The injection setup was brilliant in my view. Does not destroy the original look to much and works pretty well apparently given the power is correct. Sure looks way better than this injected 365 GTC/4 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjLM3Bh-ykg

    The Weber sound would also not be lost as in any other injected car :)

    Good lord... That is wicked! With the very limited tire tread, despite the width of the tires, it ought to handle well, but just don't get used to driving it much at the sake of replacing them often! Anyone else notice the almost motorcycle (if not even larger diameter than) quad exhausts? I mean, there's no denying that this car is meant to look the business. I have never seen a fiberglass Daytona Competition car before, but this one is amazing! It reminds me of this model car that I have from my collection of many, many diecasts listed under the thread:

    Agreed. On good days the webers are like magic but sometimes when the weather changes they're not quite as good, not terrible but just not quite as good.

    Carbs are just throttle bodies for the fuel injection.
    It looks good.
    Sounds good.
    Rides well, and goes like stink.
    I know that every element on that car had a lot of thought and effort in the meticulous attention to detail to maintain the essence of the marque.
    In short, it would put a horn on a jelly fish.
