Reply to "ARCHITETTURA DELLA CARROZZERIA #29"

Learned along time ago whilst dining at the Country Club to bring my own bottle of Grey Poupon, along with holding my pinkie in the air whilst sipping my afternoon tea.

In regards to stealing design/s, being that the GT40s were produced in the mid 60s & that the first Panteras were sold in 1971, the Pantera designers had 7 YEARS to STEAL the aerodynamics of the GT40s!...

So WHY did the Pantera designers ONLY build a car capable of a top speed, approximately 70mphs BELOW the top speed of a GT40??!!

A car designer/s could go back to 1955 & study the aerodynamics of a 300SL Mercedes Benz Gullwing to help with "wind cheating" improvements...

In 1955 a Gullwing had a top speed of 150mph! in a HEAVIER car with LESS horsepower( in-line 6 cylinder) than a Pantera!!!...fast forward 16 YEARS to 1971 & the Pantera's top speed is the same ( if one were to believe the HYPE)...

So with a 16 years of designs from a myriad of high performance cars that the Pantera's designers could "Steal" from...WHY isn't it FASTER than a Gullwing built in 1955???!!!
