Reply to "Pantera Alignment - what are the recommended settings (2017)?"

Sounds like the kind of place that you need?

Don't be surprised if they say something like "try this" setting, with their numbers (not mine or "ours")?

I don't think anything is written in stone? Driver input is important. If the car doesn't feel right then something needs to be done.

All of those "chart settings" are for a box stock "production car". As soon as you change anything, they mean less and less.

PROBABLY "auto cross" guys can help you the most since those settings are the closest to what you will be driving on the street.

It makes little sense to set the car up for 200mph. That's just some kind of an ego trip. The big caster numbers are the biggest part of that. 6 degrees is for 200mph, not for autocrossing around a parking lot. Stock 73-74 castor is plenty for that AND high speed events that you do "once in a while" or even once in a lifetime.

Stock, a Pantera was set up NEW for virtually anyone in the US, to jump into the car and go fast. With that set up, you run into a wall though. That wall is around 150mph. Over that, different factors come into play.

150 is about what a novice in a Pantera can handle ON THE STRAIGHT in a Pantera. Over that you need LOTS of experience. The required experience is also specific to that car in my opinion.

Best of luck with your endeavor. Big Grin
