a Countach in Sydney

This is what we like, apart from missing a gearchange! I took this in about '03.

 

 

Buddy, if by sound alone you can't tell that its a kit, then you must be on the wrong board.

^ are you serious? Sure the wheels arn't standard but that's about it. This car along with another Countach were at a club meet so ignoring my own ability to spot kit I don't think the club would have allowed a kit to park with all the real ones. I took this at the end when the cars all left.

If that is not a kit, its the worst sounding lambo ever..

ur kidding right....

Yes... You don't really think a Countach V-12 sounds like THAT do you?

its not a kit. Its a QV. It has since been repainted yellow after an accident.

 

It may be the quality of the video that indicates a terrible sound.

It sounded exactly like that at the time. The mic only distorts under extreme conditions like when holding it against a nightclub loudspeaker! There was seemingly no typical V12 howl about it at all which suprised me a lot too, but it was loud. Loud like a pack of harley davidsons. Actually if you listen carefully you can actually hear a slight howl. There are vid's on youtube with a similar engine tones, but this one sounded overly brash, maybe some kind of custom exhaust?? Like I said, very bad manners!!

 

Sad to hear it was involved in an accident, it looked stunning that day. IIRC the owner had wheels made up so he could fit Diablo sized tyres on it. What colour is the interior now?

 

 

 

To all you non believers some vid of it and another idling. I agree it is not the most beautiful sounding exhaust but it's still a Countach V12.

 

 

 

 

and some crappy pics from that day of the car:

 

 

 

 

 

 

and a Miura S

 

Abolfaz eats his words!

If it's real then certainly. One thing we can all agree on, that's the worse sounding ct I've ever heard.

There's no "if" about it. I don't come to this board to BS. Agreed on the worst sounding but I thought there must be others out there with the same exhaust setup, I guess not!

Sound like a turd.

Horrible shifting.

I updated the video title due to polular demand haha

Rims make it look like a kitcar

It now has original rims and is yellow with red interior (original). I'll find some pictures. The exhaust was custom made in Sydney. They sound the best with ANSA sports. If you look at previous photos posted there was a 5000S parked next to it that sounds fantastic with an ANSA sport. Photo's were from the club's last display day at Darling Harbour Sydney in 2003. The Miura in the photo's and a mix of others will be at a concourse in Manly this Sunday 10/10/2010.

Hi guys, first time poster...

 

Windshield wiper is mounted on the wrong side, no?

...or is that a function of being a right side driver? (no post edit function?)

The wiper should be opposite the drivers' side.....

this is correct

IMO it is not a 60 degree firing order. It is 90 degree. With all characteristics of a poorly built small block Chevy or Ford.

So does it still have the same exhaust or has it been fixed? Yellow with red interior, ummm post pics if you can thanks.
