Besides the flexibilty in the chassis (that was derived from the lightweight DeTomaso Sports 2000 racer), the handling will be totally different from your Pantera. There are possible issues with the brakes (all Euro calipers use nickel-plated mild steel pistons that can corrode and leak if the fluid is not changed yearly), plus two or three different possible brake calipers on both ends, three different configurations of front a-arms to address a cracking issue around the front lower ball joints, issues with the e-brake assembly, rubber boots required on the chassis heim-joints along with yearly hand-lubrication, and a host of other details totally unfamiliar to Pantera owners. If you're a do-it-yourselfer, fine -the 'Goose will keep you occupied! Recent lottery winners will also be OK.
