"Far less successful", is an understatement. I think the 512 was "legendary" simply because it was the only car that could run with the 917, but it certainly couldn't beat it and wasn't very successful! As far as I can remember, the 512 only won one race (1970 Sebring) and barely beat a 908 Porsche driven by the Actor Steve McQueen and Brian Redman at that! In the end, they had to get Mario Andretti to transfer into that 512 from his retired Ferrari 512to run down the 908 and win! If competition is the key, then the RS Spyder should be high on the list of legendary cars since it has routinely beaten cars from the higher P1 class.
