[DeTomaso] Peder Pantera

[Ken Green]

Goran,
   
        Can you please explain what differences in suspension geometry modern tires would motivate?  Did you relocate where the control arms connect to the frame and/or the tire ends of the control arms?

  Thanks John!
The Peder Pantera is very much a design study of the early 90:s. Peder, 
wanted a specially designed car
and I had the idea of making a somewhat Ferrari inspired front. Well, its 
sort of like playing a cover when
it comes to music. This car is a little special to me as it is mainley built 
up as a "touring" GT car, probabley
the same intention as the factory had for the Pantera. So the design, 
geometry and function is mostley
street use focused, and the car is to have an interior to meet the demand of 
any normal person.

The front A-arm is of the same "family" as fare as the build is concerned. 
But it does use original spindles
front and rear. However, they ARE some 2" longer and has a little different 
motion ratio. So we could say
that the setup includes a little more up to date geometry, with the tires of 
today in mind.

The reason for the front design is as allready mentionend mainley for looks, 
but of course I had some aero
in mind. A front splitter is to be used, but nothing more than what will 
look nice. I also try to keep weight
in the lower area without beeing extreem.

Goran Malmberg
