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.

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?
