Reply to "Pantera's and Carburetor Geometry"

Tom,

I understand what you are saying...what is so amazing is that by simply changing the location of the throttle mounting position at the carb, you can adjust the response drastically (for better or worse). For now, I am going to leave the throttle setup as it is which is very quick. I just got back from driving it and am still enjoying the "scare the crap" out of me feeling when I nail it. When I drove the car the first time with the new adjustment a couple days ago I was entering a gentle sweeper of a turn and decided to hit the throttle hard and a split second later after the smoke cleared I was in the lane next to me! It demands a lot of respect right now and I am having to learn to drive it all over again...which is WAY fun. This afternoon I gave a fellow Pantera owner a ride and we were losing traction in third! He could not believe how the power comes on....by the way, this is all happening at 5000 feet elevation.
