I agree with "gtinmyblood". I love Ferrari's but they look tame compared to the GT, (and are). I schemed to get mine ever since I saw the yellow GT at the 02 Car show. :rofl

Thank you very much for appreciating it.
Back to the "GT being the Holy Grail" comment I made earlier. The Pantera was intended to be the road going for the masses version of the GT 40. Brought to you by Anthony Lido Iaccoca and Alejandro DeTomaso. When you look into the history and also compare measurements etc to the original GT40 you see what was happening. Prior to this recent 2 year run of FGT's there was no way I could envision of ever owning a ford GT40 so I went with the Pantera. This car was a 10 year labor of love in which every single little detail was thought through and every part touched or replaced. The GT and the Pantera are my two favorite toys. I wouldn't let go of either one.

Wow, that is one beautiful Pantera. All of your attention to detail shows through in spades. Very nice work. I've always lusted after the Pantera but ended up going in a different direction. As you've pointed out, we can thank Lee & Alex for making it happen.

Sorry to disagree
I own a F430 Ferrari and a Ford GT among other cars and the FGT is a better car than the Ferrari. There are pros and cons but the FGT out powers the F car and handling while not quite Ferrari is still very good. The 6 speed manual transmission is wonderful right up there with a Porsche 911 (997).
These a great cars.
In my mind cars are only just machinery and if there is something better buy it. The FGT as a design is awesome! I have a few cars that do this or that better but the FGT when all of the plus or minuses are added is the best. Ford should be very proud! it is the first American car I have bought in 20+ years. I think this and the new Corvette are the first signs American car companies are finally on the hunt.
I have been looking at the 2008 Viper to add to my stable. The dealer in Daytona Florida will not get one for at least 90 days. It should be a great track car but not a perfect road car. That is okay with me.
The other car I am thinking about is the new Corrvette. I drove one of the early C6 and was unimpressed. The car handling felt numb! The new 2008 model is a different story. The engine is more powerful, but the big news is the 6 speed transmission and the enhanced handling. The 6 speed is almost as good as the 997 variant 911 Porsche. The handling for the 2008 model is much better now. There is road feedback and it feels more poised. There was alittle "puffiness" in agrressive corners but okay. I was close to buying a 2008 Corvette replacing my 1999 Porsche 911, which is my everyday car. In the end I bought a new Porsche 911 CAB but it was twice the cost over the Corvette which is almost as good and maybe arguably a better car.
For my next addition, I am balancing the new "blue devil Corvette which is supposed to be 700+ hp or the Viper. I am hoping they will at some styling ques to the Blue Devil or whatever it is called so it stands out. The Viper appearance I find more appealing while i like the Corvette.

Saw that puppy at the SEMA show, the owner of unit number one is Jay Leno.
Amazing workmanship, of course $185,000 plus you supply the C6.
