[TPR] Pantera vs. BMW

[Charles Engles]

Dear David,

 

 

                    I have that video and have seen it quite a lot.   There
is actually good news about the M5 vs Pantera.    The Panteras were all
piloted by normal guys that were Pantera crazy.  Normal guys in mostly
normal Panteras.  The third Pantera that gave them fits on the straights
when it would walk away from the "finely balanced" M5 was driven by, I
think, Frank Gorum, who was driving his high powered Pantera by himself.
Solo. No help. 

 

                  The "finely balanced M5" was driven by a hired gun pro
race driver who had the real advantage of a navigator with full race course
notes.   Given the factors of the match up, I remain proud of the Panteras.
I also know that the Bimmer is no slouch.  I have a 1988 535is, but given
the same benefits of the navigator and race notes the Pantera would have had
no problem dealing with the pesky M5.  

 

 

                                  Warmest regards,  Chuck Engles

Tonite I went to a BMW event because they advertised a "vintage" film from
La Carrera Panamericana 1989.  I had to endure this (the third Pantera
passed!)
