CleanNeon98 · 07-08-2008, 06:46 PM

looks like a pontiac fiero or toyota mr2 kitted into a detomaso pantera

real pantera

twastheglow · 07-08-2008, 06:57 PM

I was going to say it looks a lot like a Pantera...but the proportions were off. I think you guys nailed it!

That usually happens with kit cars.

a. they cant be exact copies because its copyrighted
b. popular donor cars have shorter wheelbases and it comes out unproportional

This one also looks to have lamborghini knockoff wheels, probbably just a set of american racing outlaw 2

Id say lambo, but then I seen the fender vents

Scapegoat · 07-08-2008, 07:10 PM

ya know... for being a crazy ass body kit... its not that bad... minus the stupid fender vents and slap in a small block and that would be a really cool car

I really hope they were'nt trying to emulate the pantera with that poopile. IMO, the '71-74 Pantera, along with the Mangusta, was one of the most beautiful cars ever conceived. Unfortunately, they went the route of Lambo with all the tacky add-ons for the later cars after they pulled out of the U.S.(though they did actually need that hideous wing- the early cars were known for getting super light in the front over 120). For those unaware, the Pantera used a 351 Cleveland. Sick sounding(just behind one's ears) with the exhaust configuration.
There were many kit cars built around the fiero. Most popular were the ferarri rip-offs like the testarossa and f40(most kit cars were built better than the real f40 I'll add-never seen one in person, but I hear that one would think that Hyundai of that era put it together). I think the fiero comes second only to the type 1 vw as the most popular kit car basis.
