[@nathanyano2085]

I love the wolf wall Street reference 😂

[@plasticbaggy]

Nathan Yano oh that's what it was 😹

[@arickast251]

Nathan Yano I caught it too, but it was a Ferrari in the movie not a Lamborghini.

[@haydenlindwall]

Aric, your memory is failing you 😜. It was a Countach.

[@arickast251]

Hayden I think your right, but wasn't the opening scene a Ferrari Testarossa, and then I think the one that got messed up was the Lamborghini Countach

[@TheSupradude26]

Aric Kast it was a white 1989 or 1990 anniversary edition Coutach.

[@Ben7seven7]

Your backup technique is wrong. You're supposed to physically lean out the side of the car as you back up. Not just open the door as you did.

[@Nick-gy9ve]

Ben7seven7 no one can lean out of the window on this car

[@02semiata]

Nick Beijer why would you lean out the window when the door is open yikes people

[@bikeguy3034]

You are actually supposed to sit on the door sill and look over the car.

[@Patrick94GSR]

Doug did it right. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYfTZpRpbbyHlZIm58s

[@calypsoshen8010]

your right

[@lancemalarkey4241]

At one moment I was waiting for the Doug score!!!!!

[@TheSupradude26]

Sixringsgaming no kidding because Parker has to be less than 6' and Doug is 6' 4". I'm 6' 6" and I was able to drive a Gallardo but couldn't really fit in a Diablo. Most mid engine cars are a struggle for me. And Dodge Vipers, new Camaros, pre 1999 911's.... The 2 cars that were by far the worst were a Lotus Elise and a Ferrari 308. I seriously had to have 2 buddies pull me out of them. Especially the Elise. Normally once I get in a small car I can drive them fine, but both of those are so small that I had a really hard time working the pedals and steering wheel because my legs were so crammed lol.

[@ashleyjohansson230]

+TheSupraDuse I'm 5'11 and barely fit in a viper 2005 lol

[@larsinteriors9348]

Lance Belisle love Doug score references

[@luischiarelli2788]

yesss bro wheres the damn Doug score?? and the column on auto trader slash oversteer????

[@TOMSMITH94]

Warp stabilizer*

[@spice9756]

Super_succ wtf is a sharp stabilizer

[@SuperMechguy]

Super_succ wtf

[@thiagomarques3036]

The "LP" stands for "Longitudinal Posteriore", which means longitudinally mounted mid-engine

[@jayden-qy6vv]

Thiago Marques i knew that lp meant longitudinal posteriore but i never knew about the meaning of it

[@Sbinott0]

Posteriote means "rear mounted", not mid mounted, in italian centrale=mid, posteriore=rear, frontale=front Although it's called "posteriore" the engine is actually mid mounted, maybe with "posteriore" they meant that it's positioned behind the seats

[@rileytavares4087]

+77777Carlo you just said what he said lol

[@Sbinott0]

DenisTV noup, he said that posteriore means "mid mounted", but it actually means rear mounted in italian

[@thiagomarques3036]

77777Carlo posteriore actually means behind the driver. Doesn't matter if it's mid or rear engine.. (and the opposite of posteriore is anteriore)

[@lambohayden]

LOL THAT WOLF OF WALL STREET bit killed me

[@freuderickfrankenstein8417]

Make another video when you take it over 25 MPH, please.

[@DuransGarage]

I can smell the clutch from here

[@TheHDReplay]

The flicker of text around 4:40 says "arp Stabilizer requires clip dimensions to match sequence (fix by nesting"

[@MANWITHTHEPIZZA]

I read this right after I got it but thanks

[@Patrick94GSR]

It's a Premiere Pro thing. "Warp Stabilizer requires clip dimensions to match sequence (fix by nesting)" kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXzGoKycarCJfJo

[@rosquinha21]

a thing that i like in your videos and is very present in this one is that you talk a lot about the history of the cars. thats cool.

[@A01009aaron]

This car belongs in Miami

[@kiririn3103]

u mean Vice City?

[@ebiwanton]

That shirt certainly does.

[@Xkell]

Yesterday sat in one of those, no matter how it looks, it is an extremely comfortable car, the seat is so low to floor, you can lay down extending your feet all the way. Beautiful vehicle!!

[@PowerCertAnimatedVideos]

Great review. Always loved the Countach as a kid.

[@attilacsepe4946]

Fascinating

[@reconforsales7708]

Actually bore the hell out of me!

[@imagiraffe2636]

I think it's funny how this is a review channel. A normal review channel reviews cars that normal, people can buy. But this is why I love this channel

[@connorv6973]

NEXT VIDEO: 5 Things I HATE About My Huracan not having the same doors as the Countach so I can't do as cool photo shoots with it!

[@Tommyblueeyes]

Ur Huracan doesnt have doors like the Diablo, Murcielago or aventador either

[@shaft3285]

It's classically Gorgeous in its own way. So jealous of your drive

[@donnyg653]

Opens the scissor door so that he can get a better view when backing up. Then proceeds to back up while looking back at the tiny rear window with the door still up. This made my day

[@Gamerboy1999PS4]

Thank you so much for this video😘 Reviewing these legendary cars adds so much to your channel

[@transparent2429]

the quality of these videos keep getting better. keep it up Parker!

[@frankmayer7960]

I'm 48 years old so of course I had the Lambo poster in my room back in the 80's and I saw a shit load of videos of the Countach on YT and your review is by far the most entertaining along with the one of Clarkson.

[@gesucristo6645]

Lp doesn't mean longitudinal positioned, but it means "longitudinale posteriore" or, in english, rear longitudinal

[@billystutz55]

It's the most radical car ever made. My favorite looking car ever.

[@dylanw890]

That was an awesome intro! And the filter throughout the video really made it seem like the 1980's

[@keyboarddancers7751]

The correct model designation is Countach 5000 Quattrovalvole. The previous model was Countach LP500 S. "The LP stands for 'longitudinale posteriore', which means 'longitudinally in the rear' in Italian and refers to engine orientation and placement". (ref Wiki.) And the emphasis is on the second syllable - koonTAASH.

[@rjburston]

"The stress and shear man power" 😂🤣

[@MatthewLawlor1]

Parker, I love the descriptive video. Jammed with relevant and accurate specs! great video buddy.

[@SpencerBerke]

5 things I hate about sharp stabilizer requires clip dimensions to match sequence (fix by nesting

[@kenjohnson9498]

have you never watched ''Count's Kustoms'' ? Danny schools Roli on how to back up his Countach..... lift door, sit on door ledge with feet by gas and clutch pedals, put in reverse and look backward over wing and back up. Danny even says that's how Lamborghini recommends backing the car up.

[@ivankauffmann6118]

The opening to cannonball one and two made this car what it is.... the best movie intro ever

[@TWEECH45]

It's amazing that the footprint and outline is the same as modern day lambos. You can see the progression from this to Diablo to gallardo to aventador to huracan

[@batagnam]

You forgot about the Murcielago ;)

[@reefmarch8139]

Sweet review Dude!...the film and editing....your best yet!..nice work!🐼🐼🐼

[@eliavgi7993]

hey Parker quick tip, if you take the waterproof case off the go pro while filming in sunlight it'll remove the glare you get and to keep it mount-able just get a skeleton case for it. Hope that helped u man keep up the great videos.

[@karznlife726]

Aw god that's one of the best vids uve made I have never seen u out of breath driving a car before 😂😂😂

[@FrostedSeagull]

I was 18 years of age and went to the Sydney, Australia motor show in mid-1987. There was a white 1987 White Countach QV. Yes ...it looked amazing. Next to it was a 1979 Ferrari Boxer 512BB. The Countach owner amazingly told us that after he finished with displaying his '87 Countach all over the Australasian motor shows, he would trade it in for the Ferrari Boxer . . . we were stunned. Why ...I asked. He said the Countach was a nightmare to drive and could not really be driven at night; had trouble parking it and those horrid "scissor doors" were horrendous. Wow . . . I was amazed.

[@jjs777fzr]

Great review - I was stressing out along with you while reversing. And the brakes..well they don't feel so good. Love it. And I still have a 5000S poster hanging in my basement.

[@HT-yx7ek]

Loved it at the intro. Loved it even more at the Wolf of Wall Street reference. Best video yet Parker!!

[@vernonbear]

As I’ve driven a couple of these I can tell you that you hop up onto the sill and use the accurate clutch control alone to control the reverse, the engine has buckets of torque so it’ll pull the car backwards on zero throttle. It’s not an the easiest technique but it means you have the best view. Not invented by Clarkson either, he just demonstrated it on Top Gear. Personally I was slightly disappointed when I first drove a Countach, it was THE car to drive when I was a kid, once I got a chance to drive one as an adult the child inside my brain was properly excited, in reality it was hot, sweaty and hard work. You should never meet your idols I guess.

[@n-i-c-k]

Probably the best video I've seen come out of this channel.

[@thamechanic3324]

Mr. Gandini is a brilliant designer...

[@midwesternexplorers8231]

I watch all of your videos Parker but this was very well done.. I feel like you meshed a little Top Gear w VV which is what we are looking for!!! Keep up the good work!

[@yutong5222]

I almost cry when I see this Countach, keep up with the good work Parker.

[@stephanemassa157]

Content keeps getting better and better man. Great job on this one

[@ohfawkno4335]

AHHH THE WOLF OF WALL STREET 😭😭HAD ME CRYINGGGG

[@NotAMotoVlog]

This video is fantastic! Excellent work

[@jackman8929]

Nice Rolex Parker

[@Nickgantz12]

You spotted it too? Going pretty bold with a yellow gold sub

[@jackman8929]

Yeah.

[@janplexy]

It's Yacht Master II, and it's FAKE

[@scottylight]

Jan Plexy you're wrong buddy. It's a sub.

[@stefanodefilippis2535]

its fake lol

[@notnilc20]

To reverse....you open the door and sit on the door sill and lean out to see and use your left foot to control the clutch....good video...

[@StrongestNerd]

One of your best reviews!! Loved it!

[@ericburns1887]

Great icon pic! I'm sure I'm not the only one that got The Wolf of Wall Street reference.

[@andostock2257]

You got me amazed with the intro clip to this video! Why don`t you do this to all of your review videos?

[@ethanfoster4873]

Ok. I'm already done with the video after the intro. I LOVE IT that edit was just amazing

[@240fxst]

The attire catches my eye more than the car. Thanks for sharing.

[@Xonatron]

Exactly my favorite car of all time, including int./ext. colors!

[@jansezx12]

Very nice review. i have driven the QV too in 1996 and it is much beter on the open road. Then the engine, steering comes to live. Best without the wing. The wing makes the steering go light above 150 Mph. It will also cost you 15 Mph top speed.

[@pianowizard2861]

i loved this car growing up in the 1990s really cool you did a test drive video always wanted to see what a Countach could do ,!!! vehicle vigins can you do a 1990's styele DIABLO or DIABLO SVT

[@shortydv]

Probably one of the best intros parker has ever made

[@DC-cc1vy]

favorite car of my childhood. thanks for the video!

[@thenewfuckingrocker]

You should stop making vlogs and only post this kind of reviews (this is what you do better)

[@chrisharrison2327]

Love your vids man. Keep up the good work!!

[@dbnpoldermans4120]

Great tuning project to create a track car. Bigger black wheels (spacers) that somehow still fit the era, coilovers, better brakes

[@alejoparrado7957]

Really nice intro, Parker

[@BeardBeerCigar]

Dude, you know your stuff...thanks for sharing.

[@jtmil26]

The intro to this video is absolutely nostalgic

[@topfitnessssss]

*Brillant* introduction to this marvellously spec'ed Countach !! This is by far the nicest wildest model of all the Countach(s) ever made. Perfect colour, LP5000S QV 1987 .. Wow wow wow .. Amazing .. I would buy this any day over any modern Lambos simply 'cose it's still such an eye catching car !!! Ps, video does not do it justice, when I lived in SoBe (Miami Beach) there was the exact same model same colour parked 2 doors down my road at this fancy hotel .. Cant never forget that picture how amazing it looked in real life, just bigger than life.

[@antoniobmw]

lambo diablo next

[@Slowwvelo]

yess

[@Reddirtgarage90]

Yesssssss

[@shahram72]

I've driven OLD UPS trucks. I'll bet I would be quite at home driving this crude legend.

[@TheGozz13]

When you reverse it you need to undo your seat belt and sit on the door sill, that way you can look backwards over the top of the car and see much more of the road behind..!

[@robin4046]

Parker you look really good in it. It looks like u are made for it.

[@rj11wacat]

Thank you for an actual car review. Great job! Thanks!

[@donkeytime1704]

At this point in time, we have aftermarket backup camera technology that could be installed as well as rear view to take the place of a rear view mirror.

[@miked7121]

Awesome review, lots of info. When I was a kid I loved the wing, as I have gotten older I prefer the look without it.

[@dferros347]

I remember when I 1st drove this Car my boss had me Take it to the San Francisco Moscone Center well it was very Cool driving it & just music to the ears as you Shift gears at high RPM ... but kinda scary too the car is so low to the Ground you feel like your 8" above the floor and you can see under most cars or trucks in front of you. The Clutch was a bit hard to push to shift.., and the most Funny thing I had was I couldn't get out of the car lol I was like where's the door handle. So after awhile I finally found that the hole in the door you put your hand in & the handle is above the inside the hole. I did like the sound the door makes when it slides up to the sky .. it's like a vacuum whooshing sound. Well that's my experience in the Lambo at age 19

[@yungothee270]

the controls in this car are heavy bc it was designed for high speeds where the weight makes sense... this is the kind of car you take on the high way and drive fast... not around a city or a neighborhood where most people seem to review them for some reason....

[@memsybabe]

Ferrari actually had the 512 bb and bbi as earlier competition to the countach, before the testarossa...

[@F30__Zay]

That wolf of wall street reference though so funny 😂 😂😂

[@calvincooley1074]

Valentine Balboni would sit on the doorsill/rocker, halfway out of the car, twisted torso, looking rearward to back it up. Jay Leno daily drove his for several years.

[@DInfinity07]

Does anyone else hear,"That's how much the wing actually costed?" It's at 2:20

[@TheSupradude26]

Dillon Baker I saw another review of the Countach, and they said the option for the wing on these things was nearly $6,000, while the car was $80,000. It would be like the wing on an Aventador being nearly a $30,000 option today haha.

[@elcasho]

It was this review. Dillon was more concerned with the poor Grammar. "cost" not "costed"

[@heizte]

Nice Setting and Clothing...!! But ... the best was the “ Doug “ style... hilarious....:-)))

[@vargohoat9950]

already knew what a terror it was to drive one of these, but it might be the most iconic supercar of all time. this is not a street car, this is a car for a fast track and hopefully you got the stig driving it for you, lol

[@dmob420]

This is my childhood dream car. You have nice taste

[@DoodlezMusic]

LP is Longitudinale Posteriore (Behind the back) not longitudinally positioned.

[@Trent-ertainment]

If you were also trying to pause on that exact red strip at 4:41 😂. It says “arp stabilizer requires clip dimensions to match sequence. (Fix by nesting)” So nothing important 😂😂

[@mr.someone6490]

Someone where i live has a yellow convertible one that I get to see a few times a month on the road which is always sick

[@ClayBenTreeceJr.]

Well you could always retrofit the car with a rear view camera system so you can back up safely.

[@jasonmichaelfarrant7808]

love the shirt, fits that time back then .

[@urbanfooty9765]

That intro was amazing

[@leonardr6704]

That WOWS reference was solid hahaha

[@redmoped]

OMFG LMFAO 😂🤣😂🤣 The jodarn Belford skit was A1?!?!

[@mazda_miata_]

The Lamborghini Countach I feel is so Lamborghini, which should be very obvious but hear me out. It's really out there, it has huge fender flares and a red interior with a bunch of squares and right angles around everything. Also, instead of trying to make something that will always look beautiful, they made someone that looks like a cheese wedge. A gorgeous, wide and low cheese wedge with a V12. They didn't bother trying to make it lowkey, oh no. They have the option of a huge wing, they put 345 tires, a screaming V12, big exhaust tips, flared out fenders, a boxy everything. It's a beautiful machine.

[@boominS10]

Front and rear facing cameras would be an awsome upgrade in those cars

[@AngelCruz]

Great intro with the wolf of wallstreet
