What are the two big ***** over the shift lever?

They look like something off of a kegerator.

They're for adjusting the brake bias. Haven't seen one before in any colour apart from white! Cool!

Interesting to see that it has a license plate. I thought they could not be made street legal.

No ... but that would be nice. Spoke with the owner for awhile. He bought it new ... and believes it was the first of it's type imported into the US (shortly after he bought it). Better looking in person than in the pictures.

It's a dealer license plate, I think the rules are slightly different there. It's just a wild guess but he may not have to federalize it if he only drives it once in a while.

I know of two white ones in the US, this is the first black one I've seen. Is the wing stock, do you know? The other two cars that I know if also had fixed spoilers.

I asked that same question. He said that's the spoiler that came with the car from the factory.

Didn't ask about the plate ... the owner has many cars ... he was driving a 917 (I think) at the recent Rennsport Reunion.

Question

What's with the filler cap door behind the passenger door? Is that to fill oil directly into the oil reservoir? Or is there a fuel cell in the back seat?

Nice looking ride and if it's a C4 you could drive it in the snow...

The two ***** on the dash are not to adjust the brake bias, but to adjust the differentials in the car. I have a client with a white one. The wing is stock. The car has headers without heat.

I realize it's the coveted Matter but it's hard to believe a car would come from the factory with a bolt-in cage.
