That's one of the reasons those cars look so much wider, because they are so low to the ground. When you see a stock narrow-body Pantera on original-spec tires, they positively teeter and tower over the later cars. In Italy one year, I got to see a bone-stock pushbutton Pantera parked next to a very stock GT5. I meant to take a photo to show the contrast, but didn't get around to it, and the pushbutton owner took off and didn't participate in the rest of the event. Very sad for me, because it was a beautiful example of a 'standard'
car from the first 50 or so built, complete with two-spoke steering wheel, two headlight switches, etc. etc.<br clear="none"><br clear="none">Mike</span></div><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Geneva;"></span><div class="yiv9327398711MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:115%;"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Geneva;color:#37424A;">******It’s hard to appreciate in this photo, but you can see what Mike is talking about if you look at details.
