    You did it again. Another phenomenally good video.
    The video quality, the sound quality, everything is on top.
    What a shame you don't get as many views as you deserve.
    Maybe try to hit the 10 min barrier so the RUclips algorithm will help you out. Uploading more regularly would help too but I get that it's time consuming to shoot this videos.
    Love your content (especially the climbing)

      @@vrcmf3172 the 1990 Callaway Corvette Sledgehammer (a twin turbocharged version of the standard 300bhp car) had 800bhp 772lbft 0-60 of 3.9 and a top speed of.......wait for it.........255mph!!!! The standard Corvette had a 0-60 time of 5.7 and a top speed of 163mph. Again, not a standard production car though, a tuner car similar (but way more agricultural and basic with zero thoughts into how an extra laggy extra 500bhp and 400+lbft over standard might completely change and utterly overwhelm the already backward car) but WAY more moronic than Ruf who actually put thought and effort into their complete car conversions. Most worrying of all is that these cars often ran standard suspension (leaf springs! Truly baffling in 1990 anywhere but the backwards US haha!) and standard brakes! In a car that now had a top speed nearly 100 mph higher! So a sports car already known for being way, way, WAY behind anything in the Japanese/European sportscar market of the time but with way more power and a considerably faster top speed than the future McLaren F1! Sounds like a recipe for an undriveable waste of time and money and a car that only the medically INSANE would even THINK about haha!

      The “sledgehammer” replaced the tub
      Moved the engine even more back, took out all safety features. Also the callaway that hit 254 was not one you could buy. It went one way not 2 ways also removed mirrors so less drag.
      “More importantly, only one Sledgehammer exists, and we reckon that makes it a unicorn in the performance car realm.”
      Ya ONE car? I’ll take a brand that can meet all standards make a 3.2 liter go 225 any day of the week. The callaway also was prone to blowing rods no?

    on that car there in not much from koenig specials ! ! !
    the rear wing ( no need because the testarossa itself is a wing ), the wheels/rims ( and even those are not koenig, another aftermarket ), an other exhaust ( looks and sounds like fuchs? ), the koenig specials sticker at the back
    but still original engine, original brakes, not even a wide body ( so still original ), original suspension
    I have since more than 15 years a koenig special competition, the only car with 1000 hp and narrow body ( so also the fastest car I think ), former the test car from willy and walter koenig. and that is a real koenig special car, not this what you now talk about
