REALLY GREAT 2.8 RSR video

Cool modern short track evaluation of the 2.8 RSR by a German firm motorvision.de

Some of the best camera driving shots (wheel lifting, burnouts) i've ever seen and awesome sound, both of which demonstate the raw animal-like atheleticism of these cars. Even some vintage footage. Damn, the 2.8/3 mfi motor has to be one of the best sounding engines ever made.

They say the car suspension has been set up quite soft to allow for the higher ride height needed to allow for the tires which have a higher tire pressure. Thats why the inside wheels are lifting off in the corner. Love that sound

Check out how softly sprung the car is.
Really leans on turns, and squats/dives on accel and braking.

Also those super "high" profile tires (Dunlops?) wore holes thru both of the rear flares.
Modern wheel/tire technology has come a long way since 1973.

Yet, fun to watch and hear it run.
