    Default New 20D new Panoz Esperante GTS-R

    just picked her up today, and the car too. the camera has a crummy sigma lens on it during these pics. I just purchased a new lens and havent shot anything fantastic yet. I'm no pro or amateur...i suck at pictures...for now.

    I took a trip to their factory a few years ago. Hand made, customized down to the smallest detail. I'd love to own one.

    ok it is a race car. thats the way the car was built. has to have brake lights and running lights for night races. Also has wipers.

    so, we were thinking of turning it into a street legal car. it has the mufflers, wipers, brake lights, all it need are headlights. it does need to have turn signals.

    Hell, just because it's street legal doesn't mean it isn't a race car. Look at some of these super fast drag cars, drive to the track, chute hanging off the back and everything, run a nice 8.xx 1/4, and drive it home.

    the school cars are around 11k.

    we might get into racing..i'm not sure. Dad saw one sell for 50k on ebay, so we might turn around for a profit.

    we'lll deff take it to a track, but most likely re sell for some extra money. espically since i get 5% of the sale.

    i dont know Danny, but i've met his wife and daughter...OMG :idb: hotness

    *sigh* I miss living 30 mins from the Panoz factory.

    Hey Ant you didn't go to JCCHS did you?

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    Oh yeah, I know this is a race car, I ws using that as an example saying that if you do make it street LEGAL doesn't mean it's not a race car.

    BBS make some nice looking rims that are very functional. I dont like those rims because that car is meant to have something more of an aggressive stance. Those rims look like it came off a wheelbarrel or soemthing. I would just up it by 1 more inch. Or at least have a lip. But tha't just me.
