Has anyone here ever owned a Panoz Roadster. I have like these for the last 15 years they were always out of my price range but should be great fun.

At 2600 LBS I would think the handling would be down, but if you are looking for a cruiser, it would work. A Mercedes 7? But then knowing you, I could see twin turbos growing on it. The rear view reminded me of my old 427 Cobra.

Haven't owned one, but wouldn't mind putting a Panoz in my garage.

My dad was briefly a Panoz dealer. I think he sold one AIV roadster.

I love how we think that 2600 lbs is a porker and handling "would be down." F1 cars weigh more than a lot of Se7ens.

These actually handle fairly well, but they do have a rather high COG thanks to the upright seating and the tall, top heavy motor.
