Panther,

My wife Loves your ride!. I should have not shown it to her. Now she's bugging me to get one for her. She is a BMW lover.

Quarter-mile in 0.945 seconds? Thats like 0-500mph in 0.5 seconds. Where'd you get the JATO rocket from?

Scaled 1/24th slot car that runs on a 1/24th scaled slot 1/4 mile.

OK Metro...since you're showing off your reproduction - the cockpit wasn't my first full-scale replica.

Not as fast as yours, I've only got 270 HP - but it's so light it scoots pretty good!

Awsome.
You know there are 2 more repoduction cars I want to build (Of course along with my pit) one is the Cobra and the other is the one you have. Want to sell it?

What host car does yours use?

Man are they fun!

'86 Fiero - wheelbase happens to be within 1/2" of the real 328, so it's perfect. Custom suspension, true three-piece wheels(same as F-50), engine was built with stock compression so turbos could be added... and yes, it is for sale!

This pic is a couple years old, I haven't been driving it 'cause the paint is getting pretty bad, and I just haven't had the time or funds to do it justice. It would make a great project for someone that wants a 500 hour head start. In its day, the valets at the hot clubs in Palm Springs would park mine in front of the real Lambos & Ferraris, and when I asked why, "cause it looks the best"

Good looking cars. Mine is nothing spectacular. I just wanted to show the color similarities to that of Panther and LD. Plus the cool plate!

Your license plate is "IVTBIRD7"? That's AWSOME. I want a custom plate but I don't feel like paying $30/m extra for it.

Nope. VTBIRD7. That was before I became number 12. I should pass it on to Panther.

But who do I pass mine on too?
