DeTomaso Mailing List: October 99, Message #179

Thank you for your opinion. Those of us who know of this road are well aware 
of its inherent dangers. My posting was not an advocation of excessive 
un-safe motoring, but rather a question as to the time a safe and sane 
motorist in a Pantera could make the run.
