OK, in addition to my 69 Orange 400/4-speed convertible, I have a 71 Red Pantera. There's really no comparison between the two cars. The FB is a crowd favorite and always gets compliments. It's a beautiful car. However, the Pantera, with super wide GT5 flairs and spoiler sits in the garage about belt high to the FB. It's very much cooler, faster, more exotic, and meaner with 345/45/15 rear tires on 13" wide wheels. It's ridiculously better handling than the FB which ain't in the same league. Both cars are fun to drive. The FB can hold its own against most 69 era cars and its a nice driver/sometimes show car. I drive the Pantera when I want to kick some butt.
