Nice pics. I'm sure you pulled all over the NSX...The Pantera could give you a good run for you money...unless it overheats..which was a big problem for these old school rides.

Actually, I had lunch with the Pantera owner today, and he told me that his engine was close to hemorrhaging when he tried to catch up. We did a couple macho runs just to see who would buy lunch and like I said earlier....I didn't buy. I also forgot to mention that the NSX was supercharged.

Please excuse the redundant photo, but I just bought a photo resizing program and am trying to see if it works right. This is another shot of the three cars taken from the files of the Department of Redundancy Department once again repeated twice....

That is a Pantera L, probably 1974. It isn't quite stock, but would require alot to keep up with a tt. Nice photo, and it brings back good memories. AS

I currently have both an NSX and a 996tt. The NSX has great forward vision and feels like a go cart. The turbo feels like you are in a bubble and is a beast. You can't beat the rush of the turbo. My NSX feels safer in comparison LOL

If you guys get both cars NSX and TT set up for racing,the TT is a much better car for tracking by far.It is the only GT car that has won a 24 hours racing of a American Lemans Series beaten the prototypes.
Good race Chuck.
