Reply to "Keep it stock or modify it?"

This is my opinion no offense intended. Come on guys the Pantera in the world of exotics is not knows as a really well built car. The factory used really nasty looking vinyl for the interior. The brakes are not very good. The car sits up too high. They overheat. Their electrical system sucks....... ETC. This is the exact reason most owners perform mods to their cars. Most mods are simple functional things like upgrading the cooling system. BTW in my book installing a fluidyne radiator is not considered a mod. Its a must. Many owners get rid of that ugly vinyl and replace the interior with leather. I have seen some interiors so well done that they look stock but in leather. Others have turned their cars into the rice burner looking thing. One thing I hate are those ricky racer seats. They look wrong for the car. Definitely not period. The bottom line for me is that its ok to modify it as long as the period thing is retained.

BTW this is the main reason I am becoming less and less interested in Ferrari / Alfa. Those guys look at even the hose clamps and bitch that they are not original. That is rediculous.
