[DeTomaso] Strapped in a Pantera 351C at full throttle isn't fun ?

[Richard Greenblum]

I read the info about him--not surprised by his comments regarding the Pantera. I wouldn't give any credence to anything he has to say about cars, any cars. With that said, to each his own (and to own a Pantera is a mighty splendid thing!).

Ha!

Just wanted to pass this along...

It's hard to believe that people don't like Panteras.

I read this quote, and maybe it's just me, ... but me thinks something is wrong with this guy.

When I found myself behind the wheel of a DeTomaso Pantera - a car my dad spent half of his life trying to convince me it was the best performance car in the world! - it ended up feeling like I was locked inside a coffin to which someone had strapped a Ford 351 small block stuck on full throttle. It wasn't all that fun.


But isn't that the idea of fun?

Just thought this was amusing.
