Brian, what is a 1986 5000S DD? Did you mean a down draft carbed QV?

 

5000S should weights as a 400S3, as it's the same car: just add 60-70 lbs for the air pump and the heavier aluminium OZ wheels.

interesting !! TKS

 

 

i would say 1/4 tank is around 40-45 lbs

ANSA other 45 lbs less

the wing ??? i think around 10 lbs

 

so with a sport exahust and no wing the S3 should be not much heavier than the S2 ...i would say the difference is around 100lbs...possibly less

would be nice to compare them at same level fuel-exhaust-wing

The 5000S is a downdraft carb car. I will be weighing each style of wing (2) as well later tonight...have to pull them down off the wall :)

The S2 actually had a little more than 1/2 tank....so I know it is probably under 3,000 lbs.

Emilio...I do need one of those on the S3....please shoot me a good price :) I also need two shift knobs....please PM me.

Brian, Countach 5000S is not a downdraft, it's a sidedraft... QV and 25th are downdraft cars.

 

If you want a gear knob i have one brand new, but it is the official replacement sold by Lamborghini spare part service, not the OE of 30 years ago.

Sorry...should have said 5000 QV....it is a 4 valve car.

Please PM me on the gear knob. Your car is looking fantastic by the way.

Ok i will send you a picture via PM

 

I have to admit that your copper low body looks as the best looking Countach in the World.

 

My engine will be started again this evening after the second rebuilt attempt: if it does not work properly and without any oil leak and misfiring, i will send you the gear knob for free, but delivered by two mafia killers... :icon_mrgreen:
