While the Pantera's mid engine configuration ought to have the weight distribution advantages of which we are all aware, I suspect it would still be a handful. The video seems to evidence that significant power advantages are mitigated in the slippery conditions. I assume based on his previous initiatives, Pat has the knowledge and resources to make the car light. That said, I recommend that he go for it. It would be a fun drive, terrific memory and excellent exposure for the marque.
