[DeTomaso] Kurt Busch Pantera-- wow!

I don't believe Kurt has a friggin' clue about the build experience, he didn't experience any of it other than driving a couple laps at the end. I don't think he even drove it far enough to really experience a Pantera before it got trashed...


I'd be more inclined to get his shop guys down the pub with a few beers and get the back story! I have to wonder how long it will be before this build ends up on the auction block?

Maybe someone with decent credentials could contact Kurt Busch and ask If he has any conclusions or recommendations as a result of his Pantera build experience?

I actually don’t like what they did.  The 5.0 Coyote is pretty cool, but
the rest looks pretty amateur.

The air intakes look like an attempt to avoid doing what the Pantera
owners have been doing for years (ducting from the elephant ear intakes).

The exhaust goes up and over the ZF, but then they exit out the stock
location.  Seriously guys?  The A/C outlet is an obvious exhaust exit.

The front looks okay.  I get it that they need to do something to send the
air where it needs to go, but the body work looks like tacked on racing
junk.

The rear deck lid wing is one of the best looking wings on Panteras.  At
least they got that part right.

You can’t improve much on the Mad Dawg racing Pantera as far as good looks
and being functional (or Larry Stock’s or Dennis Quella’s for that matter).
