The sounds this car made are nothing short of heavenly... I can't wait to finish our own 510!

Someone should track down the #3 pickup truck shown at 4:12...assuming it's not already somewhere. First I've seen of a BRE-style truck

We need a article going over those trucks :gapteeth:

It really does sound incredible, and this is coming from a V8 burble elitist. It's angry and loud and nasty and magnificent. I do wish he would SHUT UP and let me hear the effing car, though.

Sad to think all the douchetards in integras and eclipses with fart cans actually think their cars sound like that 510. :tisk:

That was a GREAT watch.. To me, it proves that even to a racecar driver it doesn't have to be the best performing most impressive machine to leave the biggest impression..

Kind of surprised it had drum brakes though, I'd think even in that vintage they'd have disc brakes, although it'd be tough to fit any reasonably sized disc under a 14" wheel.. :)

Probably not allowed unless homologated as such...

The 510 rear drums are fine. Most guys swap out to the Z finned aluminum drums (as did I).
