[DeTomaso] Pantera Back in the News Again on Top 10

I had a 240Z in college and to this day wish I still had it despite the
broken frame, rust that I fixed along the way, and leaking front cowling
and hatch.

The car was a blast to drive and was reliable enough to get me through
school. My two prior cars were a V-8 Monza and a 351-C Torino, so I did
miss the power but loved its simplicity and reliability.  Back then my
dream was to drop a V-8 in it when i got out of school but instead I bought
a Porsche and sold it.

Was it the ultimate high-end sports car.  Heck no, but I sure looked
forward to driving it.

     You had to man handle a Mustang in turns, but over it was more fun
     and would eat up the 240Z except in a parking lot race track.
     What am I missing?A  Is it the feeling of a better balanced car?
