But, that's a ford gt40, whole notha animal. Back in the 60s when the car came out, it was dominant. I believe it was the first car ever that could exceed 1 lateral G on the skidpad.

Bar's pic is of the re-released version.

I became semi-amigo's with a guy that owned a Honda dealership in Columbus. He was an avid car collector and had 2 fantastic 60s vintage gt40s (among other cars).

I've always liked the look of the pantera and have passed on several at auction mainly due to the poor quality of the metal used in the body - fear of excessive hidden rust. They rust from the inside out.
