[DeTomaso] Low end torque OR upper RPM power

[Art Stephens]

Fredrik,
     My preference for the street would be an engine with good low/mid range 
torque.  I test drove a Pantera one time with a claimed HP peak of 600.  It 
was fun once you got to 5500 rpm,  below that,  it was a real dog.  I got 
back into my car that had about 315 HP and maybe 350-360 lbs of torque,  and 
it was way more fun to drive.
