Of course, Garlits did it to see if it made more power, and who knows,
maybe it did.

Take a look at all of the other hot rods out there, though.  Do you really
think my 427 Cobra needs a 482 stroker?  It does to me.  I^1ll never use
the 600hp, but it has value to me.

So, maybe the owner did it because it was cool to him, and more power to
him.

  The correct answer is quite clear to me:
  Some rich hillbilly has more money than good sense.
  By now we all know the Pantera is a powerful magnet for folks like
  this.  Case in point?  Elvis Presley, King of the Hillbillies.
  Yee haw.
  The trouble is that the Pantera is so wickedly stylish that some guys
  feel the motor has to have at least 700hp to keep up with its' looks.
  Reminds me of a friend of mine, an old punk rocker who made a chunk of
  dough playing with Social Distortion.  He started his own hipster
  bar/restaurant close to where I used to live and when he saw my Pantera
  in his parking lot one day he immediately offered to buy it.  I threw a
  price at him and that conversation ended quick.
  Fast forward 10 years or so and he's joined POCA.  He found a yellow 72
  with a visibly modified 351C built to specs unknown.   Not long after I
  sent him on a repair mission of minor issues, (he took care of them) I
  get a text from him telling me he's blown up his motor racing a modern
  Porsche on a local freeway.
  Dumb bastard.  I gave him Tim Meyer's info and told him if he wanted to
  smoke modern Porsches then he better be prepared to spend twice what he
  paid for the Pantera and re-do the entire car.
  Ah yes..... the DeTomaso Pantera........never a dull moment.

  Came across this on BAT.  I've owned both Supercharged and Turbocharged
  cars. Both have their own fun factors, though I liked the supercharged
  ones
  best.  Why would you put both on a car?
