I considered lots of mid engine cars before I decided that, regardless of all of it's faults, the Pantera was the best solution.

I'm still glad that I picked the Pantera.


Me too! I don't think there is a car that can match the Pantera for:

1) Style
2) Price & Value, especially back when some of us got our cars
3) Ability to soup-up the engine
4) Availability of the vehicle
5) Availability of the parts

Thanking about what mid-engine cars a person might consider in the similar or higher class...

  • Maserati Bora - I would love one... My #1 pick after the Pantera
  • Acura NSX - I would love one... My #1 pick after the Bora
  • Maserati Merak - Never considered one - not that cool, really
  • Lambo Countach - Out of my league
  • Lambo Diablo - Never really crossed my radar screen - pretty expensive
  • Fiat X1/9 - I thought they were cool looking in high school, but FIAT didn't do it for me
  • Toyota MR2 - They looked cool, and would be reliable


    A lot of these others (like the Monteverde) are too rare, or two expensive.

    Doug - what were you considering?
