[DeTomaso] Front trunk fuel cell?

[Sean Korb]

I'm wondering if the lore of the Miura, also a front tank setup, is true:
as gasoline ran low the steering would get light.  So the car handled
differently when the fuel was full than when it was low.  I think it's
possible that at higher speed the steering got light as well so there might
be some confirmation bias.

Is anyone else running a front cell in their Pantera?  I've seen a picture
or two where it was done but I'm curious what impact it had on performance.
