Was browsing photos of the 2013 Amelia Island Concourse d'elegance and they had a bunch of gt40's.

Lots of racing Porsches in there on the second page.
And the third has this 1985 prototype which looks fun:

But apparently that site thinks it's too good for the Corvettes that appeared so find them here:

I got two free tickets to the 12 hours at Sebring from my boss at work today. Seems like it's pretty awesome, and the potential for awesome car poo poo is pretty high. I'm pretty pumped for it, this'll be my first actual race.

Congrats on getting tickets to the last Sebring 12hr as we know it. God knows what will happen after the grand-am/ALMS merger.

ALMS races are awesome to go to and I've heard Sebring is one of those races that absolutely have to be attended at some point in your life.

Even better when you consider that there's like zero visibility out the back of a countach.

Either way, it's one of those "well poo poo, I've come this far" type of situations. Imagine being the guy in the Lambo dealership worrying about whether he can afford the rear wing. :signings:

Sometime in the 80s because somebody noted that, for the price of the wing, you could have bought a Yugo.

True. They just don't look right without one.

The little touches on these are just fantastic. The way the rear wheel wells reflect the front end, the way that naca duct gets cut in half, the window-in-the-window. So cool.

Yeah but a Yugo would barely fit on the back of that Countach, although I imagine it'd keep the rear wheels planted pretty well.
