      I've been lucky enough to own one of each, and your right. The Pantera was more enjoyable to drive and more comfortable for my 6'2" frame. Both cars are very "heavy" with the controls, and as such would not be ideal for let's say a petite lady driver. :o) I still would give the Countach higher marks in appearance and exhaust note. Assuming a built engine that's putting out more than the Cleveland's stock 300hp, the Pantera wins all other categories.

    As a longtime Pantera owner, I can appreciate the choices that were made in the restoration. I really like the fact that the rocker "running boards" were eliminated giving it more of the original Tom Tjaarda design. I have a 1972 Pre L, a narrow bodied car which I prefer to the GT5.. Mine underwent a 4 year restoration/modification that brought it a 500+hp engine, C4 Corvette seat custom molded and covered in diamond stitched leather, leathe dash, console, and firewall, flush windshield glass, cooling, suspension, and exhaust upgrades. 50 years after its inception, it still looks contemporary amongst its modern brethren, and I think it still looks better. Well done!!

    How things change! I owned a lhd GT5 back in the early 90s and had one hell of a job selling it for 30k! I have seen an identical car for nearly 200k! I often wonder where mine ended up. It was a purple blue with white leather upholstery. Full GT5 body with spoiler. I would love to still own it. Great sound with handling to match although a handful if you over stepped the mark with it.

      The early Porsche 930 3.0 Carrera & 930 Turbo cars fitted 205/50R15 P7 on the front and 225/50R15 P7 on the rear. Then the later 930 Turbo & the 930 Carerra “Turbo Look“ Porsche moved to 16” wheels and fitted 205/55R16 P7 and 225/50R16 P7 on the rear between 1978 and 1985. Then in 1985 they increased the 930s rear wheels and tires to 245/45R16 P7.

    Back in the 70s and 80s, the Pantera, Countach, Boxer were the poster cars of the era. Today, more like more show than go given that a four door electric family sedan Tesla model 3, would annihilate these "supercars" in all metrics.
