[DeTomaso] Tonight's debate: Vette vs. Pantera..

[wkooiman at earthlink.net]

I completely agree with Dawg's response on this thread.

Vettes are better in many ways, but the only way to stop the yawn-o-meter is to park a real car (like a Pantera) next to it.

I'd still like a Vette, but not at the expense of my Pantera.
