i dunno if the v12 was invented when this car was designed....
Cats are so awesome. I'm going to have a huge carpeted room full of carpeted pillars of various heights & painted as buildings. Then I'll fill it with my many cats & let them rule the city. Then once a month I'll dress up as Godzilla & pack myself full with catnip and invade- WCW 1. I have one of the most beautiful county ever, with everything except electronic/modern things 2. If you have ever read anything about Caucasia youd know how independent culture/language/everything we got. And we/cristians were sorounded by Arabs/Turks/mother#$%#ers/musulmans for 20 centuries and were fighting with them day/night for 20 centuries long 3. You are mess of french/Spanish/you dont even know who. Your grnadmother were eating babana on the tree when your grandfuther #$%#ed her and were borned yourmother. At this time we had our alphabet, 1 from 14 independent alphabets in the world4. You are a 22/25/whatever year old squirrel and rabbit without any #$%#ing personality 5. kle xar.

tis' true, it could have done much better with a bigger better engine, like a 550 bhp V12 for example.

It would be pretty easy to make 500-600 hp w/ the 351 cleveland in this car. With its aerodynamic design and some taller gears with that much power it could see 200+ mph.

Unlike V12's, you can go to any Hot Rod shop and order upgrades for a 351 Cleveland. Just think, a Ford V8 is very simple to do upgrades to, it is very affordable to do upgrades, and compared to the price of maintenance on a V12, you can see why the entire idea of a 351 Cleveland in the Pantera is nothing to make fun of.
What happens at 88mph? You get a speeding ticket.

I agree, the V8 is the perfect fit of American muscle to this outstanding Italian body.

what you morons dont realize is that the 351 cleveland was designed to put out horsepower at high RPMs. the 351 windsor produced its most significant horsepower at lower RPMs. the 351 was a perfect touch for this car at that time. also to the moron that said that if this had a V12 in it that it would pop a wheelie. you know jack-shit about cars. any true car guru knows that V12's are very small motors. they are between 5.5-7.1 liter engines. the viper V10 is 8.0 liters. V12's are not meant for torque which by the way is what gives you those amazing wheelies. so all a V12 would do is increase the top speed of the car and maybe help in quarter-mile times.

Actually, in some cases, the super luxury cars of the 30s went up to v16s. I also disagree with the aproach of making this car pop a wheelie. Not only would you be repairing fiberglass every weekend, but you'd lose your valuable partial vacuum that you have with a car that low to the ground.

V-8 a shame? What would you prefer, a V-6? This is like the NSX of the 70's. It has the look, feel, speed, of a supercar and the reliability of a Civic or LTD.

ok this is true about the upgrading and cost of parts for the cleveland it was a great sports car i own one its got italian design with an american motor for ease of parts and matienence they did really well in my book its an awesome car to drive and about the v 12 there would be no room in the back of the car the motor belts already have a hump in the back firewall so they can fit and be adjusted and a v12 also is a much smaller motor with much smaller pistons and the only reason they are faster because they spin at a much higher speed giving a v12 that hig pitched sound

Actually, the problem of fitting a V12 into this car is that there's no room! The 351 cleveland has even special headers to fit in the compartment.
