I posed question this on another forum and was kindly directed here.
I bought a 1st generation Viper in '99. I started a new business in 2000. Car never got driven much as for most trips it got uncomfortable by the destination. I thought I might go the comfort route so I got a ZR-1 in '02. Time still has not become any more plentiful so I have put a grand total of less than 6k miles on it since I got it. I loved both cars but now I'm thinking of a change.
I plan on lurking here a while before making the leap as the last Pantera I have even seen in person was in the early 80's and need much more Pantera education before chasing a childhood desire...but I am curious, are there any here who have owned/driven both the Pantera and the Viper or Corvette? I realize there are many technical changes in all autos over 20 or so years but I am speaking of that "seat of the pants" feel. How do they feel-handle compared to other supercars? It seems I am going to be awhile before I can devote the time I want to pleasure/driving but I still want it to be fun when I do. I know that each car has its own "feel" but is there anything I might have driven to compare to a Pantera or are they in a class by themselves?
