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
