I'm Dan's size and I was folded up so much on my first drive back in the
'80s that in shifting my position a little, I hit the ignition key with my
left knee and shut the engine down.... From what I remember about the spec's,
the Goose weighs about 3200 lbs or the same as a pre-L Pantera, but I've
never actually seen one ready to drive that was on accurate scales. Reportedly
with the U.S-spec 302 and resulting soft hydraulic lifters & cam, they topped
out at 125 mph. Modified cars or those with the Euro-only hi-po 289s may
wind out further & move faster. Due to the lower ring & pinion ratio,
acceleration should be pretty close to a Pantera until 5th gear. My best guesses- J
