    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 CZcams 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)

    I have 2 Testarossas. That car looks and sounds great.. but other than the badge and spoiler there is nothing Koenig about this car.. I have the same BBS-LM in gold, same lowered stance, and also straight piped, and red, but with tan interior... Love the car, the videography and content, keep up the great work... looks like maybe I should get a Koenig specials badge. 😉✌️

      @@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!

    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
