Not the same car. The yellow one is in Europe. It's not really 'race
prepared'; it's really a custom hybrid road car; it's a Mangusta body on a GT5
Pantera chassis, with GT5 suspension/brakes/wheels/engine/gearbox. It's
an extremely well-done car, at least by all appearances.
I should qualify that--I think the car started life as a Mangusta and had
much of a GT5 grafted underneath it. I couldn't really see much Mangusta
chassis when I looked at it--what I saw was Pantera. But it's not unlikely
that it's actually pieces of both grafted together?
Oh, and there is also ANOTHER yellow Mangusta in Germany that I just came
across for the first tiime last summer; it's got super-wide flares, and a
twin-turbo 351C, but it's all Mangusta underneath.
