The camera is mounted on the hood just above bumper level....  THE CAR IS A
275GTB, no typos, no guessing........   THE AUDIO IS CORRECT....  I had a
vintage racer buddy, a Ferrari afficianado, go thru the tape quite a few
times....  Lots of torque here, and speed shifting to 4th is easy triple
digits in some parts of the video, and the tires are not sp8k's either.....
 I'm sure I have his notes somewhere....  Regardless, this guy improvised two
turns in the video that make this thing a must see....  Backing garbage
trucks and all.....   Watched it again at lunch today, still the best 50 I've
spent yet...  Lots of hours of details in that 9 minutes for the ferrarista
nerds amongst us.....  Apexing pedestrians redefines the Heel and Toe
technique
