[TPR] NORC & New wheels

Sun May 26 10:52:46 PDT 2013

Depends on  what VENUE you are talking about, right....if its  straight line at mohave, Bonneville, el Mirage I agree with the Pope you needs 800+ 

BUT,  if we are talking the H-318 road then start with;

Averaging 150 Mph ;-)>
Taking allot more weight off the Pantera or adding alllot more HP 
Adding taller ring gear and 5th (3,23 ring gear & taller 605)
Ron Davis rad
Add an air dam or cut out the bulkhead and add a new hood with a big air extractor
cover up A arms and bottom of Pantera
Design/add a rear end diffuser, and a rear spoiler
prayer beads
Jezus Bobblehead, etc
Last will and testiment......remember you are 68 and the pantera is a 100....its way overweight.
Yea I would love to see someone like you do it in a modified pantera that still looked like a Pantera, with steel body, a right seat, licensed to drive on the street, 2800-3,000 pounds but damn bro that is one heavy challenge....not one I would ever encourage you or anyone else to try in a Pantera....remember Junior was 14 when he last ran what he arguably called a Pantera...okay it still had a all most stock rear deck lid....but the rest of that 'race car' was a tube frame one off deal...no less cool but I remember when Charlie Puckett ran something like 166 Mph in his mostly then stock Pantera....pretty ballsy run....one he says  he would not want to try again.

Yea Cup car...I like it...we can put Pantera decals on it....probably get Pantera body panels 
to fit. ;-)

Step 1: Install a 600 cube Ford NA motor or build something supercharged - you need about 700+ HP to bust past 200...

Step 2: weld those breathers down :-)

There will be a lot of other items that rear their ugly heads going to 200+...

    at the Mojave One Mile?  I  believe he's been approaching 200 MPH
    but again, lots of horsepower.

    165 which it sounds like you are considering.  How soon do you want
    to attack it?
