The gt40 is an era manufactured and they are very close to the orig. mine has a 302 by Danbury competition engines. It is a 331 with weber stack and 5sp zf.
Pedal configuration in the gt40 is nicer than the Pantera.
She sticks to the ground at 120-and above while the Pantera in stock configuration gets nose light.
You are like a sardine in both as I am 6ft1 and 260 but fit in both.
The pantera has all new bushings, shocks and a light cam and runs out nice.
The 40 is faster as it is lighter and a little more horsepower but both are not made for 0-60.
Th gt40 will put that shit eating grin on your face every time so if you have the opportunity to own one do it.
I have had a few pantera's even a 87 GT5-s and will say this yellow one by far has the best ride.
for your enjoyment
Local speed limits were Always adhered to everyone was just driving very slow.
