I think George is right...
I'm 38, which means I turned 16 in 1984 (doesn't it?).
That is the year I got my driver's license and thought about getting my first car. It is also the year my older step-brother put a poster of a widebody Pantera on his wall. I've wanted one ever since, and this year I bought a fire-breathing, 500hp GT5 (conversion, of course).
I also came to the Pantera family after leaving the import tuner ranks. I was either buying a widebody NSX or Pantera...I'm glad now that I stumbled on the Pantera at just the right time.
I hope younger generations discover the Pantera, and I think the widebodies have the best chance of exciting them. I love that kids wave at me out the back window of their parents cars...it makes me realize how timeless these cars are.
I wish more Panteras were on the road so the brand could get more exposure.
