Default The new car came in... Panoz is here.

Car was delivered to my parents' place a little after 3pm yesterday. My father called me like a little boy on Christmas morning to start it up and rev the motor over the phone Everything works and all checks out so far. It's the first car he's ever bought sight unseen. He's a very picky person and very skeptical when it comes to buying used cars (they rarely buy new cars) let alone a used race car. We did a bunch of research and talked the sellers ears off.... but the end result seems to have been worth it.



He's an NC State alum and my brother is a football nut so naturally they want to put Wolfpack stickers all over it :p I'm driving down Saturday AM w/ the trailer to pick it up.

Nice car, Brian! You guys will have a ball with that.

Did Mac call your Dad? I gave him the numbers you gave me.

Very cool! Can't wait to hear more about it once you have time to play with it a bit.

BTW.. How did you get a photo of the car at the track (in your sig) before you took possession of it? Did Panoz send you the photo?

We got the car from www.wirewheel.com and the pic is on there. I stole it. The pic is actually from the #11 car. I'll change it when I get some on track pics of my own.

Cool!

Now you can help make back some track money by selling 'hot laps' like panoz used to do...I think it was like 100$ for a few laps?
