[DeTomaso] How fast have you driven?

[Kjetil Finne]

Accelerating up to 280 kph this summer with the Pantera, leaving a 
Porsche turbo owner behind wondering what happened. Speed backed up with 
the GPS.
I am quite sure that 300 should be easy. (If the Porsche owner had 
wanted to he would probably had a higher top speed)
Very steady even at that speed. Actually it did not feel like it got any 
lift at all, more like the opposite.
BTW:
Speeding like that isn't the fun part about driving a car. Acceleration 
and twisting roads that is fun.
