[DeTomaso] Thought for the day

[Jeff Detrich]

I am amazed at how the size of new cars is increasing. When I go to a car
show, the pantera just feels small. Or parking next to a pickup truck.
Here's a new Countach next to an original.

With all the talk of fuel economy, you'd think cars would be
getting smaller? Apparently the market disagrees.

>From DeTomaso's buddy, Colin Chapman:
“*Simplify, then add lightness.*”
*“Adding power makes you faster on the straights; subtracting weight makes
you faster everywhere”*
