There is a tab on the gearbox-housing where you put the negative lead when jumpstarting or connecting a trickle-charger..... the suspension is attached to the carbon tub and thus isolated from the battery!

Amazing, lots of memories moving these cars around back in the days. You forgot to mention the absolute quality feeling of the car, way above the same era Ferrari Enzo. How light the roof panels are, and how tight they sit when placed back. How all feels absolutely rock solid inside. Another interesting point worth mentioning is the length of the clutch and how high the point sits: below, you only rev up; above, it stalls. Thanks for the video.
@jrbuch2 жыл бұрын
It really does have a bank vault feeling of quality. I haven't been in a Carrera GT or Enzo, but I have no doubt what you're saying is true. Interestingly I hear Horacio Pagani has a Carrera GT himself as he was so impressed with the build quality of it.
@gebe89782 жыл бұрын
@@jrbuch It’s exactly the quality of all what surprises the most, especially considering the cars of that era. An MC12 looked raw, and actually a bit low-key when looking and touching materials. An Enzo felt quite like a toy, all very light and so on, but switches and nobs felt like what they were. Even if I recall, both cars seats would make some noises. The roof of the MC12, apart from really big, although light it didn’t feel solid, and finishing inside was just racing purpose. That was mainly the difference: MC12 was a racing car, Enzo was the street version kinda toy. The Carrera GT was just amazing, how the carpets perfectly matched their space over the carbon fibre floor, how the seats and steering wheel felt rock solid and, apart from the amazing looks of the engine bay, I come back to the same place: those roof panels and how tight yet incredibly light they felt. A Veyron, also on same years, was a completely different story...

The Porsche V10 F1 engine was indeed put into use but it was heavier, underpowered and unreliable compared to the competition so Footwork had to switch back to a Ford Cosworth V8 after very few races. Yes, even Porsche can make mistakes/trash, don't hide them, tell 'em like they are.
@t3hgir6 ай бұрын
basically what I heard was Ferrari had found for F1 a V10 to be the perfect compromise between lightweight economical V8 and fuel hungry, heavy V12s... by 1998... Early/mid 90s it was still being worked out by competition, and yeah considering Porsche usually build flat-4 or 6 cylinder engines no surprise their new ~60 degree V10 had some kinks to work out. See also the Judd Yamaha V10 project...

Goes to show how 99% of these owners have no clue how to service such things. “Just bring it to your service agent” 🙄 Taking a look at the engine bay, you can still access quite a bit. Especially with the suspension. But accessibility to the engine itself can be tough 😔 No matter.. not that I would ever want a GT. 🙂
