One problem with Lambos and Maseratis, to my understanding, is that it is 
difficult to find a mechanic who knows what he is doing.  This is probably 
especially true of the carburated cars.  If that car was running as well as 
the best Lambo mechanic the owner can find can make it run, then to my mind 
it would have been a fair race.  Cars which are theoretically fast but in 
reality are always out of tune are not much fun.

Thanks Dom:
I'm really interested in checking out the results of the test. Re your Miura
sighting: that would've been a hoot if you were able to engage that "bull" in
a road battle with your Pantera. But then again, with that popping and
sputtering, might have been a mechanical problem that wouldn't make the "race"
fair. O.k. looking for your comments. Cal. #2428.
