I COULD'VE HAD A V8

I personally love a NA V8. I wanted a 1GT because of it. My next fun car will be a Lexus RCF or an IS500. Toyota NA V8 engines are among, if not, the best in the business. But, I had to share this work of art I saw yesterday at Barrett-Jackson. Just a little eye candy. Enjoy!

1972 DeTomaso Pantera

 

Full polished Ford V8 with tunnel ram intake? Pretty. My buddy had a 69 Camaro with a full show polished 383 stroker with tunnel Ram intake and dual carbs. Sum bitch pulled. He sold the motor and trans combo for $10k (1995 dollars) and swapped in a 472 big block with Brodix heads and a Weiand 671 blower that made around 1000hp.

 

Jessel Equal 8.

 

Yea, all panteras need the snakepit headers. Otherwise, its a mustang built without instructions.

 

I thought I was gonna order a IS500F until I drove a IS350 f sport. That car was way too small. That’s how I ended up buying the Acura Type S. Hoping to buy a Supra next but I haven’t driven one yet, I’m hoping it’s not too small. If it is, I’ll probably look German at the M3. Definitely not buying American.

 

Lexus LC500

 

Never looked at that, However we covered the size issue with the Acura for the wife. If the Supra is too small for me I probably still wouldn’t consider the LC, quick look it’s 4.4 0-60 isn’t quick enough. Lol, sounds crazy but it’s true. I’m looking for the mid 3ish 0-60, 11 second 1/4 mile car for my next toy without going battery. I’ve seen the new Supra’s get into the 9s with some tire, tune, DP, etc.

 

Lexus LFA then

 

Nope for several reasons. Too expensive and I’m only buying new. What else ya got? Lol. I wish Lexus never quit building the GSF. That’s really what I was looking for when we bought the wife’s car.

 

From Hence forth I shall now describe pantera’s using this description. Thank you.

 

I'll take one!

 

This will meet or beat all those times, plus, the whole outside is your cabin, so it can't be too small!
