[DeTomaso] 12 cylinder Pantera

[Jan Krakevik]

i totaly agree with you all,
but there is so many cars standing in some garages around the world wich 
never get finished because "well... it did look easyer on the internet" or 
people dont understand the work involved to make a safe and professional 
modifications, and give up after spendt a lot of money on parts, ect. And 
many really do start in the wrong end.
rusted car, but first we buy a big hp enginee ..and some nice sets of 
wheels:)
Now iam thinking all kind of cars,
But then there is those people who REALLY do it and then its only to 
applaude them:)


I like my cars to go faster and stop better than it did in 1972, but I try 
to keep it simple:)
We norvegians are grown up reading about all those swedish custom buildt 
cars in the 80`s, and one i do remeber most was one contach replika with 
porsche 928 engine and gear. the detail work was fantasic.

And then we have the yellowbird 911 from RUF, "only "476 hp and blew the 
doors of all the super cars,....ofcourse its "simple " to put on some turbos 
and here we go:)its still one of my favorite cars.

And why not put a japanese high quality V8 in? from Lexus or Infinty? i have 
2 friends in Norway now who put those in with twin turbos in some great 
looking 240z. those engines are more or less bullet proof .
and how about a BMW v12? make some mod like the mclaren F1

"just add lightness "
