@Slash ...you crafty son of a bastard. I was already expecting another american machine to break that chain.

I'm happy I was so wrong. Amazing car.

BTW, I'm the one who will break the chain then. WITH A LOVELY G8.

A properly fitted and stanced G8. Praise the man who made this look so much better.

The fenders by themselves are enough to make me drool.

EDIT: don't ask me about that exhaust configuration though... I didn't notice that until after I posted it

That exhaust came from the factory on the rare (420 built and only sold in Japan) 1969 Fairlady Z 432. The 432 stood for four valves per cylinder, three carburetors, and two camshafts. These cars came with the S20 2.0 liter inline six from the Skyline GT-R of the period.

Edit: Here's one. Says it's a 1970, but I thought they only made them in 1969.

I don't like american cars in general i don't know why maybe i'm still in the 70's then going straight was the only reason to own american cars but this model i have to say it's quite nice.

Actually now you've mentioned the lights i think it's actually a 512M not a Testarossa.

Right under the left side of the license plate. Interesting placement, wouldn't do it myself, but it's different.

Didn't the Toyota 7 have a similar design? And is there actually any benefit from placing it there?

Its possible there minght be a small benefit because it's away from all heat in the engine bay. But I never researched it enough to know.

Nothing new it's an old school style no mater where the engine is place it is running off the exhaust system somewhere down the line instead of directly off the bank with a down pipe and manifold. It's suppose to be an easier set up and you don't have to redo the entire bottom end like most people would normally do on regular forced injection setups. It's just an easy way to turbo charge and harvest hot exhaust gases, but not the most efficient way.

Guilty pleasure of mine: The Koenig Testarossa.

It's sad but the lambo in the back isn't tasteful at all and I like it a ton...
 
Looks like standard Diablo with a bull decal, not really modified.

It's the Koenig Competition Evolution and it was based on the Testarossa, came out before the 512M. :)
