As long as you bring them a bit of knowledge, any good alignment shop can 
'do' a Pantera.   The factory alignment settings are preloaded into the 
database for the Hunter alignment machine at my local Firestone store, so it's 
pretty straightforward for them to just pull up the settings and use that as a 
baseline.   The stock settings are fine for street driving; I prefer a bit 
of negative front camber for street/track driving.

You shouldn't be paying more than $70 or so for a complete alignment, and 
if you watch the junk mail flyers you can often get a $20 discount.
