[DeTomaso] Fwd: Re: Ring Bros Pantera photos

[michael@michaelshortt.com]

Because maybe as keepers of the flame as it were, unlike non owners, we
appreciate the car as it was designed by TT. Perhaps
we understand that it is NOT a Ford GT/GT40 (front end), NOT a McLaren F1
(air intake), NOT a Van (Mirrors) and certainly NOT a vomit bag from Air
Tran (Interior).

There was nothing original about it, just slapped together mods lifted from
Other exotic cars like a Frankenstien's creation.
But even Frankenstien found a prom date....

Flamethrower off

Give me a break guys… I don’t care that much for the interior but the rest
of it isn’t that bad.



The sad thing is the only people bashing it are the Pantera folks.



I guess Pantera people can only be cut from a single cloth and if someone
dares to be different, everyone piles on. Sounds like a bunch of childish
comments.



I saw it in person, and with the exception of the interior, the car looks
pretty bitchen. I wouldn’t do those changes to my car but the car looked
great, none-the-less.



Flame suit on…

If all existing Pantera owners each pay $20.00,
We can buy it and have it crushed.

Who's in?

It's fine.  No, really.  It's fine.

These cares (and Ring Bros in particular) are just to show off their mad
fabrication skills.  And this does it nicely.  Everything is custom, so
much so that it is cluttered and bursting with unique items.  It's a show
of force, not a design exercise.

Gad that thing is ugly.

First photos of the completed car that I have seen.



Body mods are interesting and somewhat acceptable.



Engine bay is unimpressive, and can anyone figure out what the big black
box-like things are?



As for the interior, I think I'm going to be sick.



YMMV
