Reply to "New Member looking for a Pantera"

I am no expert but I am reading a book about it right now. There were exactly 4 group four factory cars and a few more sponsered by privateers. Several of these went on to become group five cars. Like maybe two or three. Group four cars were real race cars. They had one seat, bare metal floors, Nascar type engines and later had webbers and bundle of snke headers and were putting out about 500 ponies. They had fiberglass trunks, hoods, doors, plexiglass windows, no air, no radio. They did not do all that good racing because they were pitted against ferrai daytonas that came from the factory with aluminum bodies, and 935 porsches with 10,000 dollar half shafts. Group 4 cars were cool, but they were pure race cars that were budget compared to what they were running against.
I hate to be the one that bursts your bubble, but the Pantera was not that good a race car back then. They were a dynamite road car and bang for the buck were the best. But it wasn't untill over the road racing became popular that Panteras began to shine. Check out the exploits of Mad dog accentuenti. He is what you call a living legend. He and his team Pantera dominate that type of racing, which is more suited to what the Pantera does well.
