[DeTomaso] response to Hemmings article indicated?

[pantdino at aol.com]

After I finish reading the article and cool off a bit I'll write them.

My plan is to measure the distance between the console and door panel, the width of the pedals, etc and point out that the tester is either morbidly obese or there was no attempt to be factual in the article.

Contact Hemmings and offer to write an article yourself. Tell them you have
llot more exposure to the Pantera's strengths and weaknesses and you feel
he article did not do justice to the Pantera.

 I haven't finished reading it yet, but I'm pissed off about the article on
 the Pantera in the Hemmings mag.
 I'm tired of these articles that are written to be funny but in so doing
 distort reality.

 for instance, the author implies / says that
 1 he was pinned between the console and door panel, so side bolsters in the
 seats was irrelvant
 2) the secondary gauges in the console are only occasionally legible
 because of reflections
 3) the car is exceptionally hard to get in and out of

 If Hemmings wants to hire Jabba the Hutt to do it's roadtests, it should be
 clearing stated in the article.
 If this was the first low car the author has ever gotten in and out of, it
 should be stated so.

 Etc

 Thoughts?

 Jim
