Stanley Gruen's jewel of a comment doesn't get any better: ''The Countach is for the guy who would love a Testarossa but can't get one''

Hilarious!

A gentleman who settled for the Countach in 1986 paying around $120,000 just sold it for over $750,000.

Current Testarossa values? Not-so-much.

It's always about making the right choices because the Countach is by far the better driving car. I recall that circa 1986 whilst I was saving up for my first Countach a good example of which I had driven, I was offered and subsequently drove a Testarossa, I knew after a short drive that I never wanted to drive one again, much less own one.
