The frustration, time and money to "build" the car your way should only be undertaken by someone with two years or so of time and a very large budget to complete the project. If you are personally going do all the work, as a labor of love, go ahead. Otherwise, with enough cash in hand, buy a car that has been done really well. Remember, with your lack of experience in Panteras, how do you decide if "your way" is the right combination. For example, ask a few guys with really nice cars how much front end caster they can get. Probably 2 degrees max. You need to run with 4 degrees. Who among these owners can tell you how to get that much caster? Do any of them even have a clue? What I am getting at, is, that there are owners who put a huge pile of money into engines, interiors, paint but have done nothing to correct the engineering and steering wheel input presssure and handling of the car. Call Pat Michal at Future Auto/Performance Automotive, Chelmsford, MA 978-256-33665. He has a client with a GT5 Clone, red, that has been done correctly. I think $50,000 would buy the car.
