Fit with your choice of power plants. The car has two seats so a ride along or instructor can ride with the driver, spare brake parts are included. From Jon M Leverett, Director of Engineering/R&D, Panoz AutoFor 2000, Panoz Auto began building another batch of the driving school based race cars, this time fitted with a 400 horsepower carbureted 5.8 liter pushrod V-8. Panoz Auto got these cars approved for grassroots SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) competition in their GT-1 class. The cars were designed to be “Spec. Racers” where all of the key variables are tightly controlled so that it is a race of drivers and not of wallets! The suspension pieces all were fitted with special holographic decals and the shocks, engine, transmission and rear end all got special tamper proof seals to keep anyone from cheating. The cars were not intended to compete directly with the other GT-1 cars, which tend to be very expensive ex-Trans-Am cars, but were run as a class within a class. The goal was to get enough cars out there and competing to one day be assigned their own class.
