This is not a Pantera specific issue. Ride behind any domestic carbureted V-8 and you will get the same wonderful aroma. It brings me back to my misspent youth with muscle cars and my first Pantera.
On another aroma issue. The smell of fine Italian “pleather” when you first open up your cat after a few days or more does seem Pantera specific. Not sure how DeTomaso did this but I remember this same aroma from the first Pantera back in 75.
