[DeTomaso] The Silver State ReviewRe: SilverState ORR Film 9AM EST on Saturday March 14 on SPEED DV

Faster then the Dawg?  That would be never son.
Otherwise everything you said is dead on...
oh geez...  did I just call you SON? 

Definately the attention we have at these events is great.....but the bigger prize is being in Ely, Fort Stockton, Battle Mountain, Carson City, Pocono, Laguna Seca, etc.....racing there, hanging out with motorheads all weekend.  

Getting frequent nods of approval or the thumbs up from guys who now know what a kick ass automobile you own and drive is cool.... And now we have a new generation of kids who really don't give a sheeeit about the Italian styling, Ford Power or German ZF....they don't see the lack of pedigree.....All they see is one beautiful old car that is kicking everyone's ass just by 'showing-up'.

That kid who comes up to you before you leave the START line or shares a beer with you at the finish line and tells you how much he loves the Pantera is really saying to a complete generation before him that driving check-book racer Z06's, Porsche GT3's or Ferrari's may be okay for their dads but what they really want is the Pantera which costs allot less money, is just as fast, sounds better and now because they have discovered they have a di*k they notice have allot more woman hanging around the Pantera's. 

Yea kids, its just a tool.

I just watched it and loved the air time for the Pantera! I think we are on
a role and Speed TV loves Panteras. So sign up for all those car shows this
year and take your Pantera to all the races, your likely to get some camera
time from Speed TV this year!

I think Dennis is a little jealous the Gearz piece has more airtime of the
much faster Yellow pantera then his purple monster.

I do spend a lot of time denying any rumour that Dennis is my father, after
all he is only twice my age!

In my best Darth Vader impersonation, "Luke ... I am your father!" :)
