[DeTomaso] countach

[Arjun Ghosh-Dastidar]

A properly set up Pantera will handle very similar to a Countach since the
suspension geometry and set up was by the same guy - Dallara.

And anyone who complains about a Countach's handling clearly has never
driven one. It drives like a go-cart and the engine is genuine race motor.

Expensive to maintain for sure, but if you call a Countach a pig, I'd hate
to see what a Pantera would be on the same scale.
