<div>Great video! At 5:20 he's doing 229 kph =142 mph at 5900 rpm, or 24 mph / 1000 rpm. With presumably smaller than stock street diameter tires that sounds about like stock final drive ratio, no? (Stock was 26mph / 1000 rpm)</div>

<br>
Surfing the internet I stumbled across this video, showing Dr Martin J</font><font color="#000000" face="Geneva" size="2">örgens racing his well-known blue with white stripes Pantera at the Oldtimer Grand Prix at the Nürburgring:<br>

<br>
Note that this is the 'new' course, not the old mountain course. The in-car telemetry is interesting. I think he may have a taller 5th gear installed, as the rpm drop between gears is fairly pronounced.<br>
<br>
There are links to other videos from previous years, different events etc. on the side.<br>

His company, De Tomaso Tuning, specializes in race-preparing Panteras and Mangustas, and building killer street cars (no bling to be found here!) Here's his company website:<br>
