...actually I haven't seen Ms. Tiegs recently, so I might still be right...

You misunderstand; the great thing about Pantera owners is that we are extremely diverse in our tastes, and generally it is totally OK to disagree with other Pantera owners.   
I mean, I put some subtle ventilation fans on my engine cover thinking no one would mind, but then Mike Drew saw them, and...:)
Let me put it this way:  It's like a man's taste in women.  When I was in high school back in the '70s I had a poster of Cheryl Tiegs in a bikini--I thought she was great-looking.  I had a friend, on the other hand, who didn't think she was that pretty.  That was 36 years ago and he and I are still friends because these things always work out--I was right back then, and yet today his opinion turns out to be right...!

Give me a break guys… I don’t care that much for the interior but the rest of it isn’t that bad.  The sad thing is the only people bashing it are the Pantera folks.  I guess Pantera people can only be cut from a single cloth and if someone dares to be different, everyone piles on. Sounds like a bunch of childish comments. I saw it in person, and with the exception of the interior, the car looks pretty bitchen. I wouldn’t do those changes to my car but the car looked great, none-the-less.

We can buy it and have it crushed.

And this does it nicely.  Everything is custom, so much so that it is cluttered and bursting with unique items.  It's a show of force, not a design exercise.Gad that thing is ugly.

Engine bay is unimpressive, and can anyone figure out what the big black box-like things are? As for the interior, I think I'm going to be sick.
