Man those are 2 of the baddest cars on the planet!!! My heart skipped a beat for a second though.... I thought you were contemplating selling the Ultra. That would have gave me a couple of sleepless nights figuring out how to take it off your hands! haha
Thanks for the complements. Although you like the black Ultra, the Group 4 and red 5S are right up there with the Ultra. Just like the Panteras we all own, there are unique aspects we enjoy of them all. On the Group 4, I like the impeccable build where the underside is just as nice as the top...you can eat off the underside satin belly pan. I also like the 383 by Kuntz & Company where it has some type of special valve guides through the valve covers where I am told you can go over 7,000 RPM with no issues (although me being more show car dude, I have only taken it to just over 5,000 then changed my shorts). I also like the steel flares and unusual dark cranberry color with body work that is mirror straight on the paint. As for the red 5S, well, for being in smog test CA there is nothing like having a 5S factory flare body along with radical aluminum block without having to deal with the smog testers! Try registering a 1980s real 5S in CA with a radical aluminum engine...I don't think so. The build on the 5S is right up there with the Group 4 too. Geez, maybe I will talk myself into keeping them!
