Great description, Donluigi. I was nodding my head the whole time while you were talking about blind spots and owning the road, lol!
The Countach will deffinately grow on you. When I first got mine(although, it's a replica, it is the best and most accurate replica I have ever seen) I was totally freaking out while trying to drive it home. I mean, I was scared! Especailly with the way people drive here in Austin, Texas. You don't drive these cars for only yourself, you are also driving for everyone else around you. Watching them ALL like a hawk and trying to drive your car at the same time.
You get used to the blind spots, for me, the right rearview mirror is , like you said earlier, "a joke!" but I found a way to move it (it's electric) while attempting a lane change and estemate the other car's next move.
Also, PUNCHING IT helps! See a window for a lane change and , NAIL IT!!!!!!!!
As far as a 6'6 man (Dark Zombie) getting in and out of a Countach.......... Yank out the seats and do some engineering. Do you really need sliders undernieth your seats? you can gain a few inches of headroom if you permanently mount your driver seat where it's most comfortable for you. I am 6 ft, 170lbs. I have NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER! And if I did, I would make my ass fit! When you drive a car like this, YOU OWN THE ROAD! Don't get discouraged because it's hard to get in and out. Make a few changes and enjoy your life while you enjoy your car.
The Diablo is an incredible car as well! I never want to get rid of the Countach, but if I did, the Diablo Roadster (with removable top) is deffinately next in line. The Diable seems to be a more "Driver Friendly" car. ..............of course, the Countach IS the O.G.:smoka:
