Pantera

One of, if not the most kickass metal band in the world. A band from Arlington, Texas that released some of the most legendary albums like Cowboys From Hell. Famous for vocalist Phil Anselmo's rip-roaring vocals and guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott's expertise with that axe. Tensions and creative differences split the band up, and Dime and Phil each started their own projects. Phil started many bands such as Down and Superjoint Ritual, while Dime and his brother Vinnie (Pantera's drummer) started their own band, called Damageplan. On December 8, 2004, (coincidentially the same day John Lennon was killed 24 years earlier) Dime was shot and killed by a fan who was obviously in huge need of mental help, as Damageplan was performing in Colombus, Ohio. RIP.
If you say you don't like Pantera purely out of distaste for metal, fine, but if you're going to bitch about how it's "too loud", then you need to have a pair of balls surgically attached to your groin.

If I ever find the grave of that fucktard who killed Dimebag, I'm going to dig up his remains and take a good, long piss on them.

You want proof that Pantera kicks ass? Ask Maddox (thebestpageintheuniverse.com).

Pantera

Possibly the closest thing to "gods" as we know it. Dimebag Darrel was unfortunately shot by this crazy man. Their music was just that, MUSIC! It wasn't pre-packaged crap that is run down into the ground by MTV. Those who do not know of Pantera can go shove broken glass into their uretha and colon.
This girl asked me "Who's Pantera? Do they support Animal Liberation like I do?" So I drew my .45 and emptied a few into her cranium.

You broke up Pantera!

Something you might say when there is no rational explanation or excuse for someone's bad behaviour. Comes from the statment yelled by a gunman who on December 8, 2004, attacked members of a band named Damageplan and its fans. Two of the members of Damageplan had previously been members of the band Pantera.
Dad: Why didn't you do your chores?
Son: You broke up Pantera!

Pantera Fan

A person that is a fan of Pantera, no bad attitude,

DeTomaso Pantera

Ford powered midengine 2-seater, USA: 1971-1974. Europe: until about 1996. Originally a joint venture between Ford Motor Company USA and DeTomaso Automobili of Italy. Ford was enamoured by the the DeTomaso Mangusta (mongoose), an Italian midengine 2-seater with a Ford V8, but it wasn't quite up to the forthcoming USA safety and emission standards, so Ford approached DeTomaso about co-producing a sucessor: the PANTERA (Panther).

The Pantera used a 330 hp 351 Cleveland V8, mounted behind the seats, but in front of the rear wheels (rear-mid-engine). This is the standard for Formula One Racing, because it offers near 50/50 weight distribution, but with a slight rear bias which is considered to be the best for acceleration, handling, and braking, especially with a rear wheel drive car.

The Pantera is no longer being produced, but its sucessor, the Guara, is. Also, although the Guara is an awesome car, Americans love the styling, name, and Ford V8 power of the Pantera. DeTomaso has a Pantera show car, and it just might return.

America needs a less expensive alternative to the Ford GT, Mosler MT900, and Saleen S7. Come on Ford, give the 'Vette a run for it's money!

The VERY FIRST Mustang (Mustang 1: driveable show car and pace car) was a midengine sportscar. How about a production FORD Mustang 1, and the return of the DeTomaso Pantera (sold by Lincoln-Mercury). You could use one platform for both.

I think the band PANTERA was named after the car.

pantera

A spectacular heavy metal band from the 80s and 90s that combined amazing guitar riffs by "dimebag" Darrel (third only to Eddie Van Halen and Jimmy hedrix)and intesnce vocals, and heavy drums. Pantera brought a new style to the metal scene, and may have single handedly kept metal alive during the grunge era. The band was unfortunetly split up after lead singer, Phil, left to persue other musical gatherings and ofcourse the tragic murder of "Dimebag" Darrel.
A really great mixture of fast drums, amazing riffs, raw lyrics, and outstanding bass. Pantera is all you need.

A Planter

When you stand in void fissure. Earthquake, or any other graphically intensive AOE.
Xcelerate has died from Corborus' burrow.

Group: Looks like Xcelerate pulled a planter.
