    I found this video on youtube yesterday. Cheesy as all hell but very amusing. FWIW, the owners inadvertently played into the typical 80's stereotypes.

    930 is owned by a Doctor
    Testarossa is driven by the vehicle's mechanic
    Countach---just check out the guys sunglasses.

    LMAO!

    Interesting to note that the mechanics swear by the Testarossa as being essentially bulletproof---same holds true 25 years later :)


    Enjoy...

    I'm sorry and people may think I'm crazy.

    But the Countach has aged very ugly. They look real cheap & tacky. The Testarossa has aged well. Its kinda like this.

    Testarossa is like Star Wars from 77-83 the original trilogy still looks good.


    Countach = Flash Gordon

    Yeah the videos are somewhat dated....but I really enjoyed them! The commentary was really quite good. It was fun hearing about how the 930-S is built. I thought the Lambo sounded best....but I don't know if it had the stock exhaust or not, but the TR obviously did. I was surprised to hear the TR chirp the tires at speed...you do that in an old musclecar...not an exotic. Great videos though....thanks for the link.

    disagree: all 3 are great looking today
    no 458, gallardo or 997 looks better than these 80's heroes

    if i had to pick one, countach is the best looking for me

    +1 on all counts.

    The Testarossa is my girl, but driving the countach will go down as one of the greatest automotive memories of my life. As fantastic as they look, they are even more rewarding to drive. I've never driven a car that tried harder to kill its master. What a riot!

    Oh and if I ever work up the cojones to own one, I'll take white on white with the wing please!

    I like em all. Each has a special memory when I first saw one. I did have to laugh about the comment by the dealer on what a great investment a TR was though.
