Well, no offense to some, Love the car and agree to a point, but just for my
own taste for my own car.

I like the look of a proper GT5 car, but only if I had two Pantera would
that be my choice.

The fastest Pantera ( 234 mph ) doesn't have wings or flares.  They slow the
car down with additional drag.

The great thing about the car is that you can change them to match your
personality or desires.

Just like some of you like blondes, redheads or brunettes, each to his own.

Find a parking lot full of F-Cars and they all look the same except for the
dude who brought the blue one.

I blacked out my dogbone air cleaner because I didn't want it drawing the
viewer's eye into the hole back there,
the most beautiful angle on the car IMHO is the rear 3/4 view, nothing
should ruin it.
