Ah, one of my favorites. Paul Simon -
Now I sit by my window
And I watch the cars
I fear Ill do some damage
One fine day
But I would not be convicted
By a jury of my peers
Still crazy after all these years
Oh, still crazy
Still crazy
Still crazy after all these years

Dang. Now you are doing at car shows what happens on the race course all the time.
Congrats that was BIG!!
That's awesome, edmguru! Definitely post some pictures.
I think that more and more people are realizing that Lambos and Ferraris just take money to buy. There's no real depth to them, they're viewed as status symbols or investments. Yeah, they're nice to look at cool cars, but compared to a Pantera, they're a dime a dozen. People see them quite frequently.
Panteras are more obscure, and nowadays are done up to more look the part of a high dollar exotic car (and some of them truly are!). They have a timeless beaty all their own, that few other cars possess. As other exotics look more dated and are relegated as 'has-beens' when a newer model comes out, our Panteras are more often capturing center stage.
Peolple are starting to see and appreciate the 'labor of love' that most of our Panteras are.

Very, very well said Michael....I gotta use that next time I talk cars with the Ferrari guys!!!
Thanks De and De.
Don't forget to add that the value of those cars are constantly declining (except the rare collector models, of course) while ours are constantly appreciating as a whole.

Way to go Ed!!
Nice job! Helps eliminate some of those passer bys saying "what is it"? Now you can say, "1st place bitchin Pantera, that's it".
Mister guru, killer job dude!
Your Pantera rips.

Great web site, Glenn. I remember reading about your auto clutch mod a long time ago. It's real ingenious!
