You are a VEDDY VEDDY BAD MAN! If it weren't for Ferrari, deTomaso wouldn't have EVER entered Ford's mind. Just a thought.

Cyboman the Jalpa seats adjust (and have more support & padding), and there is a nice area behind the seats made for stowing the top, the seats can go back farther since they are never against the fire wall. The material used is all real leather also.

You mean like this?

Now, if I can only remember where I left that sawzall...

I know of one Pantera owner in Chi town that at one time owned:
84 GTS
Ferrari Testerossa
Ferrari Dino
Ferrari Daytona
Ferrari 308
Lambo Countach
65 Vette
7? Vette

Of all these cars, he said the Lambo was the most sexy, but was uncomfortable to drive. The Testerossa was like a cadillac and was a great road car. But of all, he enjoyed driving the Pantera the best because it was just "fun"

He eventually sold all the cars but one. He kept the Pantera, which was the 2nd car ever converted to a 4.6.

CrazyDave,

I am in the process of putting a 4.6 in my car. I got all the goodies from Wilkinson.

Can you PM me and send me the contact info on this guy so that I could share some notes?

B.G.

Damn!! In this situation I would have kept the Daytona hands down.

That thing has more gauges in it then any other car I have ever seen. It has gauges for the gauges! It's apretty nice car for just a Camaro.

Please tell me you did not just compare a Daytona to a Camaro?

No, not at all. I was referring to an incident when I was at a car show with my Pantera and a young couple came up to the car and asked if I mind if they looked at it.

After looking at it the girl turned to the guy and said to him,
"so what's the big deal, it's a Camaro?"

...and she wasn't even blonde.

Hey. Like John Maden says, "if you can't take the congradulations, don't score the touchdown!"
If you have a Daytonna you should be able to stand a little ribbing occassionally I would think?

The girls checking out my car were just a bit brighter than the one looking at yours.
They were discussing what kind of car it was and when one saw the Powered By Ford emblem they both smiled, nodded at each other and said "Mustang" in unison and walked away.

One of my neighbors has a really nice new black Nissan 350z. He has a Ferrari prancing horse on the trunklid. I'm not even going to ask him why?
