They are so different yet fantastic.

I'll take both.

I think the Bora came before the Pantera.

>From Wikipedia:

"Weighing in at 1520 kg (around 180 kg heavier than the Ghibli), top speed
was 165 mph (266 km/h) whilst 0–60 and 0–100 took 6.5 and 14.6 seconds
respectively. The first Boras were delivered to customers in late 1971, and
only minor production changes were gradually phased in thereafter... From
1973, as the 4.7-litre engine had not been homologated in North America,
Boras destined for the United States were fitted with emissions-equipped
4.9s similar to those found in US-bound Ghiblis. Output was 280 bhp
(209 kW) at 6000 rpm, only 30 bhp (22 kW) less than the Euro-spec
derivative, changing the zero to sixty time to 7.2 seconds and the quarter
mile to 15.2 seconds."

I'd rather have a Pantera!
