So 4.4 seconds. Well if I'm optimistic, I could say that I had 100 lbs of gas with me that I didn't need. And some 3.x claims are indeed 0-60 mph performance, which is only 0-96 kph. Regardless, I'm sure this Pantera has the power to do 3 second runs, but the shifter pattern/driver combination adds several tenths to the time. Guess that I for now have to be satisfied to have a 4 second car.
This is of course for me only the starting point. Now I have a tool so I can finish the proper tuning of my Pantera as described in my book. Playing with jets might add some power, who knows? So maybe I can get a 3 second time next year on a really dry day? I'll let you know
BTW, the Pantera took a beating today. All these runs has probably put more wear on it than normally in a full year (unless I'm overtaken by a GT40 at Spa of course). It worked well, no overheating, nothing broke. But I'm a bit tired myself
