I have always been a fan of the Panteras...those and the Bricklins. And to JSMITHTAMPA, nice lawn mower ya got there...just can't handle the truth. Yes a RACE CAR is faster than a little tuner POS.

Ive seen that pantera in person, not only does it look nasty, sound amazing, but it is fast, and by the way jsmith, civics are the cheapest car to make fast, so take that piece of shit off the roads. also civics are everywhere and they all sound the same, its like a 5.5 hp Briggs engine on my weedwacker, Chris i love your Pantera, let me drive it, haha just kiddin Ill see ya this summa at the track.

jsmith ur a dumbass. there r plenty of cars here in NH that make ur car look like a JOKE. whether u run 12 seconds (doubt it) or not. the slowest civic with any work done to it of all my friends runs a damn 11.8. we got supras runnin 9s, trans ams runnin 9s, a damn old ass vw bug (like herbie) runs a 10 flat, a old ass Colt runnin an 11. Your car is a joke. all the fast cars around here actually look nice as well. and if u have a turboed, engine swapped civic, MAYBE u might beat the Pantera, if u dont blow ur engine first u dumb ass. cant wait until that piece of shit blows, and all that money goes down the drain. Pantera is lookin good chris, ill be gettin my baby soon...as soon as i find one that is worth buying
