Went out with ronnie and GTNPU_Z last night...this is what we saw...

 

hmmm..

I'd still take your car over that one

 

Saw this same car few weeks ago in SF.

The curvature of the front bumper looks kinda weird to me

 

correct me if I am wrong, but isn't weld not aluminum? Thus making that statement totally incorrect?

 

huh? you weld aluminum with aluminum. so the staement is 100% correct.

 

I saw that car also....he showed up at luguna seca last weekend, I took a pic but didn't post.

 

I get my ink work done at his shop.

 

See the car all the time, didnt know it had that much power though, I pass by his shop probably 2 times a week. It looks nice in person, I better not mess with wild bill and his 11 second car! haha

 

Interesting engineering achievement, but looks like they let the engineers design it too. Almost like it was drawn in profile and extruded. No thought given to form...yuk.

 

I met the owner of that car.."Wild Bill" from wildbill's tattoos one day at Laguna Seca during a track day. He was telling me about the car being built and this was back in 2004. He was driving another Panoz that was yellow. Great guy...big guy with lots of tattoos, but very very nice guy. I was kind of intimidated at first when he sat at the table by me, but then he started talking and was really cool. He owns a tattoo shop in Roseville and has been very successful doing so.

Neat seeing a picture of the finished product he was talking about. He was so excited about the car. I think he bought it in Georgia if I remember right. I remember him talking about polishing the body for a car show in LA and making sure it was ready.

Thanks for the pics!!

 

Never knew an ugly car could get uglier, but i guess so.

 

Would something like that be street legal?...I mean with the aluminum all shiny and everywhere. I saw some pics of a chromed out (complete chrome exterior) on an M3, I believe, and that wasn't legal to drive because of the shiny exterior. Could be wrong though.

 

Nice!

 

but the panoz is so damn ugly......

I have to say you and james and ronnie's Z's pwnt that car...pretty damn hard
