So where's all that extra stuff going to go? it can't go any further down or to the sides so it has to go up. "The output from the gearbox was transmitted back to the rear axle via a drive shaft locating underneath the engine, inside the sump. Inevitably, the engine had to be raised for a few inches to accommodate the drive shaft. As a result, center of gravity was raised, too." That's a quote from http://autozine.kyul.net/countach/countach_5.htm That's just one instance. Look around the net. You can find several more. |
This deserves a quote and a giant
Are you really that stupid?
