Gentlemen,
Before I stick my foot in my mouth, let me start by reminding you I support each owner with whatever he or she decides to do with HIS or HER Pantera.
But.....
No matter how much you modify your Pantera, it will never perform as well as the Noble. So.........If you spend more on your Pantera than the price of a Noble, have you spent your money wisely?
A Noble M12GTO3R sells in the US for $80,000 to $87,000 USD, the Noble M400 sells in the US for $90,000 to $95,000 USD.
How much money must you invest in a Pantera in initial purchase, chassis & engine upgrades, plus all this carbon fiber you're talking about, to achieve a vehicle that is even capable of 90% of the performance of a Noble?
Consider this option, sell your Pantera, apply the entire sale amount as a down payment on a Noble , and make monthly payments on the remaining amount, instead of spending money on Pantera upgrades & repairs.
Your friend on the DTBB, George
