My father had his car rebuild and tuned as a rally car, and while we where driving on the autobahn going 240 km/h a Countach overtook us, driving significantly faster than us, and my brother and I were completely blown away!

@matthewcragg3607 6 років тому
There were exotics before the Countach. The Miura comes to mind. But the Countach, as I say, put exotics on the map. When the Countach came along all of a sudden every kid, including myself, had at least one poster of it on their walls. It "mainstreamed" exotic cars. Today it has a mystique for having done so. It has a place in exotic car lovers' hearts no other model can really fill no matter how much more powerful or technologically advanced. It is to exotic cars what the Beatles are to rock and roll music. There were other great rock and roll bands before the Beatles. There have been fantastic bands since (Pink Floyd and the Rolling Stones come to mind). But the Beatles will always be the greatest of all time. So too will be the Countach.

THIS was MY STORY!! Much of this Movie was filmed in the Atlanta area...and my younger sister is in several 'crowd shots' -- like at the beginning of the race. She and a friend went down often to the hotel where everyone was staying, and where 'the race' began, and 'hung out' during the day. I would ride down in the early evening to get her home for Family Dinner, in my customized Corvette. One day, I got a chance to chat with Hal Needham for a few minutes...and I told him about a REAL 'event' that happened to ME out in Texas a couple of years ago, and how I had gotten around BEHIND a State Trooper who was after me for speeding..!! It was in the middle of the night, and we had wide open highway. We hit speeds over 120 mph, running redlights and 'flying' thru small towns with 25 mph Speed Limits ... still at 100+ mph!! He was laughing constantly as I told him details of the "chase", and when I pulled up beside the Officer and waved...flipped of my vehicle lights (leaving just a set of aircraft landing lights on the front)...and drove away at over 160mph! Of course, the Movie Edition was 'different' in many ways -- like 2 sexy ladies in a Lambo -- and I never got caught! But when I saw the opening of the Movie I was Flattered that Hal and the writers had used my story in their block-buster hit! I did get invited to the "Wrap Party" where I actually got 'talk time' with many of the Wonderful actors...but did not know about the opening scene until I saw the Movie months later. {Hal had even expressed interest in using my car in some highway scenes in the Movie...but when they came back from California and the 'western phase' they had already reached their 'budget' and I never got into the Movie...

The reason it had the front wing was to meet the strict US DOT regulations on bumper height. Most owners have taken the front wings off so it's a very rare thing to see them on any more. I Love it with the gold wheels. Thanks.

@digitalmagicstudios0

Me too. The same sound is used for the Coyote X in Hardcastle and McCormick and numerous Ferraris that appeared in movies and TV in the 80s. The engine sound is actually recorded from a Ferrari 365 GT4 and the original recordings were probably done by the production studio working on the 1976 film The Gumball Rally. Notice the Countach in #2 sounds completely different and is actually correct for a Countach. Same with Speed Zone and any raw unedited Countach videos you find on youtube. Yes that nice Black Lambo was dubbed with Ferrari sounds in almost all scenes :)

I agree, how it sounds...W/ out running through the right parts of this video, there are two engine sounds...One's the real V -12 and the other is synthesized, cuz it's the EXACT same sound as the cody coyote, on Hardcastle and McCormick...Not sure if you've even seen that show, cuz it was in the 80's ?? It's weird, that they use the synthesized one...Take Care Adrian :):)
@digitalmagicstudios0
@digitalmagicstudios0 3 роки тому
@@davidgeerling9871 Good ear! Yes indeed they used a real Countach sound for the scene you mentioned and the "Coyote" sounds for just about everything else in the movie. The engine sounds were actually recorded from a Ferrari 365 GT4 "Daytona" and overdubbed into Cannonball Run, Hardcastle and McCormick, and at least 5 other shows/movies I can think of in the 1980s. They typically dub in this sound for Ferraris that are not the correct model such as 308, Mondial etc. Check out the ep of Riptide where they have the chase with the gold Ferrari 308, and the red Ferrari that "Ferrari Girl" drives in National Lampoons. None of those cars sound like that really. It's like Hollywood decided to use that stock sound library for just about any "exotic" back then and none of us knew better because we hadn't been around the real cars to know. Not only that, but remember those original analog sound recordings were made by professional sound guys with pro mics and good placement. Then the editing was done by pros. So even a Ferrari Daytona doesn't sound like that with just any old recorder/placement and driving style. Find clips of original 365 GT4s where they get the thing wound up in the HIGH RPMS and drive it hard and all the sudden, you'll recognize the sound. :) As best I can tell the original sound recordings were done by the studio that produced The Gumball Rally (1976). Listen to the Ferrari in that one. No question the same sound. In fact, the sound recordings may well be from one of the two Ferraris used in that film as they are 365 GTS4. I love that sound. Since a teen I wondered what car/engine they got it from and it wasn't until recently that I found out.

Tube and C if I can find the cars you mentioned, and listened to 'em...LOVE the LEGIT V-12 sound...That 308 on Nat'l Lampoon was the same car on Magnum P.I...Diff was, the one on Magnum was a GTS, and I think it was a V8 ?? I'm ALMOST positive ?? !! Thanks for the technical stuff, I learned a lot :):)
@digitalmagicstudios0
@digitalmagicstudios0 3 роки тому
​@@davidgeerling9871 Thanks for sharing. The 308GTSi was the "poor man" version and like the one on Magnum. The Ferrari naming convention meant 3.0 Litre 8 Cylinder, hence the 308. The "i" was the cheaper model. So the 328GTS and GTB / GTO were "superior" cars and thus 3.2 Litre :) Later the 512TR meant 5 litre 12 cylinder Testa Rossa and so on... And none of those cars sound like the Red Ferrari in Gumball in real life, even though Hollywood almost always dubbed in the same sounds for all those cars. I used to be into Ferraris and Lamborghinis a long time ago. There are roughly half dozen Ferraris that appeared in TV shows and movies I have found where they dubbed in that same engine track, and none of them were correct for the car, except the Gumball Rally. The funny thing about Cannonball 1 is they dubbed it for a competing brand, LOL. But back then hardly anyone knew. Heck, most people still don't know :) Like you said, I LOVE those tracks they recorded too. That is the sweetest engine sound to me ever, along with the dubbed engine sound in Smokey and the Bandit 1 (the old recordings, not the new ones where they re-dubbed it). As far as other shows that used the same track, there is a car chase in Riptide with a gold Ferrari (308 I believe) and a couple movies and another show but I cannot remember off the top of my head. I haven't dealt with this stuff for years. But if it's important to anyone I can find the names of the other shows. Best way to hear lots of the sound is to watch Hardcastle and McCormick. becuase they drive the car in a lot of various speeds and situations and thus the editors had to use a lot of the recordings to make it sound believable and match up
