Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 512TR vs Countach video

[Michael James (cavallino_rapante]

Is the 25th Anniversary Countach still considered a 'downdraft' car, when it has no carbs on the engine?

Looks to be pretty accurate...512TR and downdraft Countach even in acceleration then the TR pulling away at higher speed due to aero.

A wingless Countach probably would've been even closer.

Yeah but they (wings) were great for the buffet spread at a concours....

But your point was brought up in the R&T issue that did this test with the BB and the Countach.   The wing killed the top end.  The BB ate it up on speed runs.

I wonder how much hp is sapped by the Countach's humongous wing.
