I like it. I would have shortened the front overhang but that's just being picky...

My guess on the name is that the "Pantera" name was not included in the deal ???

I have a little bit of a rub near lock but if you are turned to lock on a track there are other problems already...

i could think of a few better names that don't sound like a lisp:

panterror
panty-ra (can be spelled in a multitude of ways)
panterawr

The original is one of my all time favorite cars, but I'm not completely feeling this one. It isn't horrible, maybe it is one of those cars that will grow on me.
