Reply to "1971 GT40 vs. Pantera"

The GT-40 rear suspension is closer to a Mangusta rear suspension than a Pantera, with no upper rear a-arms. The Mangusta needs that bushed upper link sawed off on each side and replaced with Heim joints. This according to Johnny Woods, totally cures the odd handling of the 'Goose. The GT-40 already had those heims.

The GT-40 had shorter-than-desirable front upper a-arms to make room for the FIA-mandatory spare tire. Hopefully ERA fixed that- it caused handling difficulties. The Pantera is different here, too- its front suspension design reportedly came from Dallara's 1969 F-2 open-wheel racer.
