if there could be a v12 for this car in order to sound a lil better . could it be a v12 bmw 850cci engine ¿¿ that v12 stock doesn't sound like a v12 but changing the cams and installing 180 º headers ,intake and a tune makes it sound incredible i would install that v12 if I had the money LOL because the body work is excellent but V8 sounds bad for that body
@Sexytime0mad There is nothing wrong with this car or a V8 in this car. This is hands-down THE BEST Countach replica I have seen on here. This guy has done some awesome work and it must be a real rush to own a car as beautiful and as accurate as this one.
if that was a replica car then its an amazing job , the exterior looks fantastic , the dimensions look like Countach's dimensions without mistakes , nice original rims , nice paint and so good looking....are you surre this isn't an authentic?
the v8 sound cracked me up. I´m sure it runs like hell. Anyways the musclecar sound made me laugh. It´s a little bit like hearing a harley V-Twin in a Kawasaki Ninja.
I love american muscle cars and I love the italian sport cars. Mixing both with each other was...
how much does it cost to build. i could never understand why build a replica when they can be had for less than 100 grand and im sure all the parts to build a nice replica would cost close to that i know the ultima cost that much
I haven't spoken to David in over a year, but thats a shame or he may be making cars to order, if you can tempt him. His website is still up with his contact details. I'd give him a ring
Classiest looking replica I've seen, actually one of the few that looks classy at ll, think I'd rather have that than the real thing but would like it quieter when it idles.
Also, the paint job is stellar. You can see it's really good even through the relative poor quality of Youtube FLV files. And, good choice to put climate control in it. I've heard the originals become rolling pizza ovens. From Italy. Why not. Sounds like you've got a squeaky strut?
The car is great and so sturdy,you can jump all over it and not make a dent. I can get in the car even after leaving it in direct sunlight, and within seconds, the car is at a predetermined temp. When Im driving, I always have the windows up. Because of the way the air moves around the vents, the hot air from the back can be pushed into the cabin. Mind you,you areonly talking 3 inches of open window anyway. Yes after the recording we noticed the strut squeeking and had it fixed. - not enuf use.
yep sure is and i tell as many people that i can where the car was built. they are a fabulous car with a lot of time and detail gone into them. apart from getting stares wherever you go, you can get on the motorway, turn up the dvd and cruise. the car will never overheat, and never let you down. ive used this car to promote my businesses as well as just drive it for enjoyment, whatever the occassion it i a pleasure to drive and an honour to own one.
Yeah but if you say that about this cars engine sound at idle, you'd have to say that about airplanes with powerful radial engines like the Corsair or the B29. They sound just like this. I think he's got a pretty sweet look'n and sounding car on his hands. It would be better if it were a real Lambo, but hey.
i deliberately filmed the car from a cold start and this is what most 350 chevs are like from a cold start idling. I could have warmed it up for you so you can hear it purr. but the car is my enjoyment and built to my specs.
>>>okay I have to say that this is the best looking Replica I've seen...And it sounds pretty good to boot! The only thing I'd say it needs is better looking exhaust and rims...something about the two, but otherwise...BAD ASS!
Ive seen some exhausts where the piping and linckages are exposed.with this car, everything is encased and I like that. the rims are one pieces 17 inch and honed to the dimensions. the origingal car used 15 and 16 inch. also if you look, the air valves in the rims are at the back and not in the front.
Wow, that's a very realistic replica. My mom had a 25th Anniversary for 6 years after I was born. I can tell you right now, that you have the correct pipes and sound. Nice work!
it has a the supercharger in it right? if so, the supercharger whine was amazing, but i prefer the sound of a cammed f-body if were talking about new cars.
the engine is a bored out 350 chev, with no supercharger. but the way the motor has been worked, it sounds like it has been spercharged. if i build another car, i would consider a toyota v8 or a bmw v12. remembering my car is 13 years old now
theres a lot of good american engines out there too. if you want a newer naturally aspirated engine with a lot of power, you can always go for the ls7. it has a lot of potential.
This car looks brand new, but is 10 years old. I am happy with the engine, it may sound lumpy at low revs, but if you push it, it can fly. If I was going to get another one made in today's specs, I would go for a Lexus V8. They have an amazing sound when they are treated to some fancy work. But for a ten year old car, my beast suits me just fine
wow ok you put a v8 in it and a push rod chevy motor too lol wow should of had a v12 lol or even a v10 that V8 sound with the cam just doesnt sound right
Umm, just some little details you need, get the interior like the original one, and make it sound like a real one... then that would be all for a nice replica
Thanks, but I had a real car and didn't like it. My car is decked out to my specs and I love it for what it is. It is not my intention to have an exact replica. It is my intention to have a car I can enjoy.
Yep you're right, then you must enjoy that car... umm then dont you like it to roar like an Italian? just some headers and exhaust system, that would be enough, by the way great work.
I suppose for me is the advantage of owning an original countach, so I could weigh up the pros and cons. And knowing the problems, I was able to stem away from them with my replica. Apart from getting the car road worthy, and extra goodies inside, my car has been very cheap to maintain. I love the groaty growl of the 350, and the lumpy cams. But yes, if I was to build another I would seriously consider the BMWV12, or the Lexus V8 which can be made to sound like a lamo.
Oh, you have a real one... well then you're right, then you must know way more than me, and yes the original one is not proportional on inside distances, I know you've must fixen that and anyways great work by the way, keep it up, I'd like to se your real one compared to this one, like some sprint to see performance in curves and acceleration, I've allways wanted to see real vs replica, please! Oh by the way congrats and I'm suscribed.
Tilton clutches are great for racing. They grip and you fly. Trouble is they are very awkard to use in traffic situations. Or even hill starts. In stopped traffic you basically count to 6 before you start off or you'll fly into the car in front. So I made the decision to get the clutch replaced so I could drive the car when and where I wanted. Some drivers of lambos get a thrill out of people oogling over their car and staring.I get my kicks in driving the beast and blasting down the motorway.
There was a lot of work done to the engine as it used to do a lot of racing. Putting out over 500 hp. Trouble was that it needed a tilton clutch system. Which is fine for racing, but no good in normal driving. The clutch is either in or out on a tilton system.And very heavy on the foot. So I had to have it detuned twice to match a new clutch system and make it drivable. Don't be fooled though this beast can still take up and go. It has never overheated, and comfortably cruises on 200kph
well the heavy clutch would have given it more of a genuine feel, the original countach was notorious for its heavy clutch...but its your car and your preference matters the most.
Looks nice, sounds great! Have you been to Carlisle? Went there two years ago and saw a few that were parked outside and were driven there from Pennsylvania and New Jersey/New York area. One guy was named Jerry Tully I believe and I have always wanted to talk to those guys their cars were awesome. some countach bodies do not look good, either too small or just weird looking. the body cannot overwhelm the wheels and tires or it looks stupid.
No bud I haven't. It's a bit of a hke from New Zealand. That's right, if you can't get th body look to wheels it just looks terrible. And so many replicas miss the mark on this point. It of course ads to stability of the car round corners. You put your foot down in my car and it just goes. I have had my car for ten years, and the finish of it is beautiful.Some recent cars using fiero chasis look just horrible.If you are going to spend money on a car, make sure its a good end product.
EXCELLENT THE BEST COUNTACH REPLICA SHOWED ON YOUTUBE maybe you should sell that V8 and install a BmW v12 or maybe contact somebady wich owns a WRECKED LAMBO OR FERRARI JAJAJ AND BUY THE ENGINE OR MAYBE NOT LOL
Honestly I went through the process of looking at a V12. The overall cost and maintenance was huge. Most of the guys I know are now using Lexus V8's instead of chevs. They are better suited and can be easily turboed or supercharged. We have a guy who made a Ferrari F40 replica with a twin turboed Toyota V8, it clocked over 200 mph. Shit can that move. We don't use stretched Fiero chasis on any of the cars. They have a monocoque chasis designed around the powerplant. Cheers for the compliment
Beautiful! This body style is much nicer & cleaner than the Anniversary editions they came out with later. None of those silly extra louvers and scoops all over. Why buy a real one with all its headaches & troubles when you can get a nice replica for 1/3 its cost?!
I have had the car ten years now, and I did get it for a bargin. You can check out the manufacturer site at Countess Mouldings and he will give you a guide price depending on your specs.
yeah, a front strut needed a bit of grease. We didn't realise this til after the shooting of this video. haha that will teach me for not using it enough. 5,000kms in ten years is the odo reading. That's pretty sad when the average person does 10,000 kms per year. That's what happens when you have a busy lifestyle. Once I get the new vids you'll hear the difference
That was my only fault with the car, and you have put that to rest. All in all, THE very best replica I have ever seen of the Countach. Top notch mate.
Ive been a caterer for the past 20 years so it limites me to being able to use the beast. I have used it to take the groom to churches for weddings (with me driving of course). The funniest things was when the groom wouldn't get out of the car and the bride was standing there outside the church with hands on hips. hard case.
This is the second replica I have had and I love them. Because of the way this car has been built I would feel safer in a crash than any other car. Cheers
I have to say also that the American V8's sound better than the original...er...V12's did they have? I am pretty sure they did, Wikipedia right after this reply :P.
If you go to Countess Mouldings in New Zealand, you can contact the owner. I have seen many replicas and by far these are the best I have seen, both in build and reliability. There are no Fiero parts. It has its own chasis. I've got a video to show my interior including tvs dvd system talking alarm.
wow..But I live in the U.S.A in New York...I will try my best to get my dream car..thanks for the information...and I want to see your lambo's interior!
I know there are heaps of kits out there, but to find good ones are far and few. Most times you are inheriting someone elses problems. And from what I see less and less are making the cars now. The company in New Zealand may be able to ship to the States, or you may be able to find a decent one there. I know most are made from a Fiero chasis that is stretched. Good luck with finding one bud.
Thanks for that. What I love about the car is that is is well constructed, and goes like the clappers. But also that you can use it as an every day car if you wanted.I would recommend anyone looking at buying a replica, or even wanting advice to talk to David Short from Countess Mouldings.
It's actually a type of grey. But when the sun hits it, it appears to go a silver. The good thing about the grey is that at night when oncoming headlights shine on the car, it doesn't reflect back like a mirror. I have some updated videos to put on soon showing the interior and the engine
Thanks for the fantastic video mate! I am a little short of funds right now...I am still a young man. However, I am aware of Countess Mouldings and I plan on getting a Countach from them once I have the funds. I also have to figure out how to import the car into the USA. Cheers! Well done! Your car looks awesome, and it looks like a hell of a lot of fun.
I can honestly say that of all the lambos I have seen, Countess are the most precise and well engineered. The only difference between Countess and the original is the side windows are straight and not slightly curved. All other features and dimensions are exact. These cars have been exported globally including Japan, so there shouldn't be a problem about importing to USA. Good luck
stunning ! - what did all this set you back in aussie doller ? ( 86 cents to the american doller ) i have wanted to do something like this for years - i have the funds , but dont know where to start ? yours is a impeccable example of this fabulous car . kudos to your fine work :)
I would always suggest to people to buy a turnkey model. The last thing you want is someones half attempts. You can look at my manufacturer Countess Mouldings in New Zealand. Also if you look up trademe you will see a 2004 red Countach for sale for about $85,000 NZ
I will shortly post some more videos of the interior and you can see both tvs going and also how well finished off the car is. Cheers for you praise of the car
I love the bitchy growl of this beast, and man can it move. You can see from the road runs that I couldn't blast it for fear of running out of road. And I was only got to second gear
Cheers. Though I haven't, you can certainly use as an every day car. You can't do that with the original. It's a lot of fun, and the impact that it has pulling into a parking area still gets me even after 10 years of having the car.
That's what happens with a cold start with lumpy cams. But when you plant your foot it gives you immediate response, smooths out and just flies.I have had this car up to 290km/hr and there is still peddle left.
Sounds like a squeaky old rattly XY Falcon! LOL

I suppose for me is the advantage of owning an original countach, so I could weigh up the pros and cons. And knowing the problems, I was able to stem away from them with my replica. Apart from getting the car road worthy, and extra goodies inside, my car has been very cheap to maintain. I love the groaty growl of the 350, and the lumpy cams. But yes, if I was to build another I would seriously consider the BMWV12, or the Lexus V8 which can be made to sound like a lamo.

Oh, you have a real one... well then you're right, then you must know way more than me, and yes the original one is not proportional on inside distances, I know you've must fixen that and anyways great work by the way, keep it up, I'd like to se your real one compared to this one, like some sprint to see performance in curves and acceleration, I've allways wanted to see real vs replica, please! Oh by the way congrats and I'm suscribed.

he said it sounds like a car from the 50's

thanks for that. The sound is from the good old chev 350. But it is amazing what you can do with a basic engine to get it get up and go.

Tilton clutches are great for racing. They grip and you fly. Trouble is they are very awkard to use in traffic situations. Or even hill starts. In stopped traffic you basically count to 6 before you start off or you'll fly into the car in front. So I made the decision to get the clutch replaced so I could drive the car when and where I wanted. Some drivers of lambos get a thrill out of people oogling over their car and staring.I get my kicks in driving the beast and blasting down the motorway.
genecyzzle 3 years ago
There was a lot of work done to the engine as it used to do a lot of racing. Putting out over 500 hp. Trouble was that it needed a tilton clutch system. Which is fine for racing, but no good in normal driving. The clutch is either in or out on a tilton system.And very heavy on the foot. So I had to have it detuned twice to match a new clutch system and make it drivable. Don't be fooled though this beast can still take up and go. It has never overheated, and comfortably cruises on 200kph
genecyzzle 3 years ago
well the heavy clutch would have given it more of a genuine feel, the original countach was notorious for its heavy clutch...but its your car and your preference matters the most.

Looks nice, sounds great! Have you been to Carlisle? Went there two years ago and saw a few that were parked outside and were driven there from Pennsylvania and New Jersey/New York area. One guy was named Jerry Tully I believe and I have always wanted to talk to those guys their cars were awesome. some countach bodies do not look good, either too small or just weird looking. the body cannot overwhelm the wheels and tires or it looks stupid.
Quick2000 3 years ago
No bud I haven't. It's a bit of a hke from New Zealand. That's right, if you can't get th body look to wheels it just looks terrible. And so many replicas miss the mark on this point. It of course ads to stability of the car round corners. You put your foot down in my car and it just goes. I have had my car for ten years, and the finish of it is beautiful.Some recent cars using fiero chasis look just horrible.If you are going to spend money on a car, make sure its a good end product.

EXCELLENT THE BEST COUNTACH REPLICA SHOWED ON YOUTUBE maybe you should sell that V8 and install a BmW v12 or maybe contact somebady wich owns a WRECKED LAMBO OR FERRARI JAJAJ AND BUY THE ENGINE OR MAYBE NOT LOL
curancho 3 years ago
Honestly I went through the process of looking at a V12. The overall cost and maintenance was huge. Most of the guys I know are now using Lexus V8's instead of chevs. They are better suited and can be easily turboed or supercharged. We have a guy who made a Ferrari F40 replica with a twin turboed Toyota V8, it clocked over 200 mph. Shit can that move. We don't use stretched Fiero chasis on any of the cars. They have a monocoque chasis designed around the powerplant. Cheers for the compliment

Beautiful! This body style is much nicer & cleaner than the Anniversary editions they came out with later. None of those silly extra louvers and scoops all over. Why buy a real one with all its headaches & troubles when you can get a nice replica for 1/3 its cost?!

I have had the car ten years now, and I did get it for a bargin. You can check out the manufacturer site at Countess Mouldings and he will give you a guide price depending on your specs.

fordgt90 3 years ago
yeah, a front strut needed a bit of grease. We didn't realise this til after the shooting of this video. haha that will teach me for not using it enough. 5,000kms in ten years is the odo reading. That's pretty sad when the average person does 10,000 kms per year. That's what happens when you have a busy lifestyle. Once I get the new vids you'll hear the difference
genecyzzle 3 years ago
That was my only fault with the car, and you have put that to rest. All in all, THE very best replica I have ever seen of the Countach. Top notch mate.
fordgt90 3 years ago
Ive been a caterer for the past 20 years so it limites me to being able to use the beast. I have used it to take the groom to churches for weddings (with me driving of course). The funniest things was when the groom wouldn't get out of the car and the bride was standing there outside the church with hands on hips. hard case.
This is the second replica I have had and I love them. Because of the way this car has been built I would feel safer in a crash than any other car. Cheers

I have to say also that the American V8's sound better than the original...er...V12's did they have? I am pretty sure they did, Wikipedia right after this reply :P.

iceman050890 3 years ago
If you go to Countess Mouldings in New Zealand, you can contact the owner. I have seen many replicas and by far these are the best I have seen, both in build and reliability. There are no Fiero parts. It has its own chasis. I've got a video to show my interior including tvs dvd system talking alarm.
genecyzzle 3 years ago
wow..But I live in the U.S.A in New York...I will try my best to get my dream car..thanks for the information...and I want to see your lambo's interior!
iceman050890 3 years ago
I know there are heaps of kits out there, but to find good ones are far and few. Most times you are inheriting someone elses problems. And from what I see less and less are making the cars now. The company in New Zealand may be able to ship to the States, or you may be able to find a decent one there. I know most are made from a Fiero chasis that is stretched. Good luck with finding one bud.

what do u mean replica...seriousley why do u call it a replica if it looks and sounds like the real thing?!?!
alexvnsc 4 years ago
Thanks for that. What I love about the car is that is is well constructed, and goes like the clappers. But also that you can use it as an every day car if you wanted.I would recommend anyone looking at buying a replica, or even wanting advice to talk to David Short from Countess Mouldings.

It's actually a type of grey. But when the sun hits it, it appears to go a silver. The good thing about the grey is that at night when oncoming headlights shine on the car, it doesn't reflect back like a mirror. I have some updated videos to put on soon showing the interior and the engine

Thanks for the fantastic video mate! I am a little short of funds right now...I am still a young man. However, I am aware of Countess Mouldings and I plan on getting a Countach from them once I have the funds. I also have to figure out how to import the car into the USA. Cheers! Well done! Your car looks awesome, and it looks like a hell of a lot of fun.
Schmufe 4 years ago
I can honestly say that of all the lambos I have seen, Countess are the most precise and well engineered. The only difference between Countess and the original is the side windows are straight and not slightly curved. All other features and dimensions are exact. These cars have been exported globally including Japan, so there shouldn't be a problem about importing to USA. Good luck
genecyzzle 4 years ago
stunning ! - what did all this set you back in aussie doller ? ( 86 cents to the american doller ) i have wanted to do something like this for years - i have the funds , but dont know where to start ? yours is a impeccable example of this fabulous car . kudos to your fine work :)

I would always suggest to people to buy a turnkey model. The last thing you want is someones half attempts. You can look at my manufacturer Countess Mouldings in New Zealand. Also if you look up trademe you will see a 2004 red Countach for sale for about $85,000 NZ

Cheers. Though I haven't, you can certainly use as an every day car. You can't do that with the original. It's a lot of fun, and the impact that it has pulling into a parking area still gets me even after 10 years of having the car.
