i mean he doesn't daily it nor have I gotten into any real in-depth convo's about it with him. it's just a beautiful car and the whole American muscle engine mid mounted is just sexy.

any time I've seen it he starts it up first try and drives off......now hoe many miles it goes before an issue is beyond me lol

You suxorz! /end jealous outburst

I had a sales booklet from about 1972 that I would hide in textbooks and read while in detention at HS. Back then, a Pantera was my dream car. (fap, fap)

Looks like one in half decent shape can be had for $30-40K nowadays but a good one is $80K (and up). Still a bit out of my price range.

I grew up near the Ford Plant in Milpitas Cali..I bought that 1972 Pantera
from a Ford employee during the gas wars..

best part was the pure rush of the loud exhaust blaring away and the smell
of gasoline fumes filling the interior.........

Now I really miss that darn car.............

Speaking of the gas fumes... Do you old farts remember when gasoline use to smell so good? We use to hang our heads out of the cars when dad put the premium gas in his 67 Chevelle SS.

FR-S is a good sports car.

But it runs with 200hp, cannot rival a 370Z with 332hp.

Especially when RevMatching (or Downshifting) installed.

Got beat by a E46 M3 last night from 60-140 mph by about 3 feet, really close. Starting modding by going to the other side of my garage and cranking up my SRT8 which has had a belly full of M3's in the past and now I'm looking for a little payback LOL gotta add some basics to this thing, exhaust, CAI and tune should make up for that 3 foot loss.
