I can't help but admire the guts it takes to rally a Ferrari 250 SWB. It is, after all, worth many multiples of a decent house, even one in a crazy place like Silicon Valley.
But.
Listen to the sound of this V-12 as it races up and down the rev range, and revel in the balanced handling of the SWB. Poetry in motion, to be sure.
I think there's a fifth law to be added to the four laws of gnarlyness, and it has something to do with chutzpah. A point to ponder...
Ah... I drove a '63 SWB Spyder once when I was working as a mechanic. And I did get to open it up, though on an open freeway, and nothing like the tight twisties in this video.
You are absolutely right.... chutzpah.
