I still prefer the Pantera for relaxed high-speed motoring, with enough 
trunk room for 'vital debris' for two people, decent mileage and enough stares 
to feed anyone's ego. Next to our '72 L would be a 2009 Porsche Boxter S 
with the optional aluminum hardtop (never been a roadster guy). 
Years ago, there was a sort-of comparison of exotic sports cars done in FL 
by one of the big magazines. Ferrari, Lamborghini and many others 
participated. Included was a street drive of about 50 miles. With FACTORY MECHANICS 
RIDING IN THE CARS and chase trucks full of parts, neither the Ferrari nor the 
Lambo made it out of town. They both completed the 'test' from the back of 
flatbed car haulers. Quite a testimonial to their reliabilty. No, a Pantera 
wasn't included in this test; likely it's sound, performance, reliability 
and good looks would have detracted from the gold-chain-ambience of the scene. 
FWIW- J Deryke
