Jim,
Sorry to see that you are selling your Pantera.If you think that a GT40 is over your head, you should check out Race Car Replicas.

Give Fran a call.You can build a bad ass(2100# 450hp) GT40 fopr less than the $65,000 you'll spend on the NSX. He can set it up for a Porsche G50 trans that will take all of the power and then some and you won't have to worry about the whole ZF thing.
Let me know if you would like to discuss it further.
