[TPR] Colorado Mile report

[Teampantera]

Great job Dave. For sure that is or was Dennis Quella's race car with tube frame chassis. I've on the track behind him but it's a kit car ;-)

So YOUR Pantera was and IS the fastest Pantera😎

Good for the Quellas, but they have a number of advantages over the Scuderia Durango and your posting of 145 mph at 5000 rpm in 4th is excellent.  Did the front end feel light at that speed?   My stock bodied yellow car starts to feel nervous above 125 mph.
