When I was coming on this forum I came for some information and opinions about cars.
But, I also came to make an opinion about people who are driving panteras, to see how are they reacting when they need to compare their cars with others. Are they open-minded or they can't stand other marques? Are they obssesed with Panteras and why?
I wanted to get some opinions from first hand, from people who drove some cars on my list and compare them to Pantera.
I see you guys are delighted to own a Pantera, it's your lifestyle and hobby. You're supportive to each other and you welcome everybody to your society. And this is a great invitation to me.
I'm in no rush to buy the car, the plan is to choose and get it by the end of this year. This summer I plan to take a tour around Europe and have a look at as much cars as I can manage.
Numbers and words are good, but driving them is essential for decision.
Thanks for your posts.
If you are planning on visiting Europe this summer, then why not try to make it to Le Mans Classic in July? See details in the "Europe" section of this BB. There were 6000 collector cars at last year's LMC, and there will be 20+ Panteras at this year's event. You'll get a chance to talk to the owners, and most likely get to sit in a few cars and probably even go for a few rides. That way you can compare things like "sensation", "noise", and "visual impact" that are really hard to quantify via e-mail.
The rumble of the Pantera engine is one of the main features, imo, and you really have to feel it to be able to appreciate it. The best way tomake the decision is to see all the cars next to each other in person...
