Hey guys, I'm finally coming out of the closet as a Pantera lover. I retired last April and this secret craving have me looking further into these cars and the builds etc. Needless to say, I have been reading, reading and yet some more reading. I haven't seen anything negative. Since I am a tinkerer and do my own maintenance this car should be a breeze to maintain (no dropping engines to change belts etc). My last home grown car was a Mustang Indy 5.0 Pace Car factory rep.
I am by no means a purist so I love the GT5-S clones. I also am a bit superficial and get a boner everytime I see a picture of a red or yellow GT5-S. I've even considered purchasing a $40K car (there are a few out there for sale) and getting the mods done since I have the time now. But nothing beats a complete car that someone else has laboured with.
So for the next little while, please excuse the stupid questions that I may ask from time to time.
