Just thought I'd mention it...

I found these specs on the Pantera. My guess would be that it was detuned to run with unleaded fuel. Or he was just toying with me. I didn't mean to imply that it's a weak car or something. I was just relaying my only encounter with one.

I was really impressed that the driver still drove it with gusto unlike people with their brand new Vettes. It would be a really cool car to put a modern, fuel injected engine in.
