Almost like I said “today’s”.

The Pantera was the poor mans super car. Literally built for people that couldn’t afford a Ferrari. A ford motor put into the body designed by an Italian living in Argentina, until that motor was build by Australians.

I don't get your point. No one is saying the pantera was some amazing super car. It was just a cool looking car and still is.

The post I commented on, “vulgar display of power”.

almost like today's and new mean the same thing in this context.

comparing performance of brand new cars to a 40-50 yo car is pretty dumb and pointless.

This car was being sold up to 1993. Corvettes in ‘93 got up to 405 HP.

Calling this cars after market tires a “vulgar display of power” was as dumb and pointless as these tires on a car that got 326 hp.

Apparently a wide body kit and pointless tires is all it takes to be car porn, regardless of the car itself, apparently. In my opinion, oversized tires on an incredibly underpowered “super car” is more worthy of r/shittycarmods

How often do you get told to just shut up in you're daily life?

I get it, you’re just a kid.

Sort of like a Z is a poor man’s sport car?

u/Lordrandall Jan 04 '20

The Z platform is almost as old.

The Pantera GT5 made 350hp. The 2020 Supra makes 335 and the 2020 Z makes 332.

The 2020 Supra will make 375hp (6 with a turbo) . And the Z will make 350 (nismo). Both cars come in more than a base package.

That Pantera was also a 5.8L v8.

I don't know for sure but I'm gonna guess the Pantera is a faor bit lighter, also

1

u/Fariic Jan 05 '20

About the same weight. About 200lbs lighter.

u/uvokad Jan 06 '20

Your Nissan would be 200 lbs lighter than the Pantera if your girlfriend got out of the passenger seat

2

u/Fariic Jan 06 '20

The Pantera is lighter by about 200lbs you salty child.

1

u/uvokad Jan 06 '20

That’s because they weighed your Z with your 400 lb girlfriend in the seat

u/ithcy Jan 04 '20

Do you know something that the Toyota website doesn’t? Because that says 335 hp.

Manufacturers routinely underestimate performance ratings on their advertising

6

u/ithcy Jan 04 '20

Oh, so you’re saying the Pantera made more than 350?

4

u/uvokad Jan 04 '20

Yeah, but since when have you seen someone driving a Z who isn’t a gym bro on steroids?

Power doesn’t equal taste

-1

u/Fariic Jan 04 '20

I drive a Z, and I’m most definitely not a gym bro on steroids.

In fact, the original owner was a woman.

There's no reason for people to down vote you, they're just generalizing.
