On the way home from work today, I was merging onto Crowchild Trail (major artery for NorthWest Calgary) and I just *happened* to merge behind a DeTomaso Pantera. All the way from where I merged to where I turned off to get home, I was stuck behind the Pantera. I turned my radio off and both driver's and passenger's windows went down so I could hear some sweet italo-american love ^_^

The roar of those things under acceleration.... yummy....

 

cool

 

I've done the same thing behind a ferrari 355 berchetta.

 

Nice.. I've never seen a Pantera in person, but they are very intriguing...

 

Well, they are Italian designed and built cars, but they use a souped up, from-the-era Corvette V8 (early 80's). And the mufflers don't really muffle much. THey add some italian things to the engine, so it sounds like a mix between an angry corvette and a lustful italian woman. Wonderful sounding cars ^__^ Start with a grunt, and as they accelerate, it just starts to sing in a "take me faster" kinda tone

yea, DIAMOND!

 

The Pantera in Fresno is powered by Ford.

 

I owned a gts years ago with 4 supertraps sticking 1 foot out the back..I don't know if the radio even worked
