Personally, I can't drive my Tesla Model 3 enough! It is easily the best car I've ever driven. The engineering is incomparable and the acceleration is literally neck-snapping especially at freeway speeds. It would embarrass both my Pantera and 911 off the line. I get all the engine sounds I need from the Porsche and Pantera. The fun part is going like a rocket....in silence!I would never compare the Tesla to the others. They are all very special automobiles. And all so fun!!MarshallSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

Not a fan of electric cars. I question the quality of this 911 build. Youcan see from the photo the two oil lines from the right front fender oilcooler that run to the oil tank behind the right rear wheel. What dosuppose they are using that for? Or, is the thought that if you don’t likeit, you can always drop in an awesome flat six with six Weber’s howlingbehind you for a soundtrack as you fly down tiny back roads with relative ease?On Friday, April 24, 2020, Garth Rodericks via DeTomaso <detomaso at server.detomasolist.com> wrote:> It would be an interesting project.

Personally, I can't drive my Tesla Model 3 enough! It is easily the
best car I've ever driven. The engineering is incomparable and the
acceleration is literally neck-snapping especially at freeway speeds.
It would embarrass both my Pantera and 911 off the line. I get all the
engine sounds I need from the Porsche and Pantera. The fun part is
going like a rocket....in silence!
I would never compare the Tesla to the others. They are all very
special automobiles. And all so fun!!

You
can see from the photo the two oil lines from the right front fender
oil
cooler that run to the oil tank behind the right rear wheel. What do
suppose they are using that for? Or, is the thought that if you don't
like
it, you can always drop in an awesome flat six with six Weber's howling
behind you for a soundtrack as you fly down tiny back roads with
relative
ease?
