I love these things, sooooo hot… > It was 110 degrees. It turned 9.90 seconds and 140 mph. Later, the car ran at Bakersfield and went through the traps at 172 mph maxed out in fifth gear at 7000 rpm. Sackett believes the car will run in the low eights, but he never has left the line with the motor turning more than 1500 rpm, because he figures it will break the ZF transaxle. “ **The car leaves the line at 1000 rpm so hard, it comes up on the wheel bar and you can see daylight under the back wheels,”** he says. > **[1973 De Tomaso Pantera - Featured Vehicles - Hot Rod Magazine](https://www.motortrend.com/featuredvehicles/28518_1973_de_tomaso_pantera/)** > > Check out this custom 1973 De Tomaso Pantera, brought to you by the experts at Hot Rod Magazine.
