Wow! Awesome car! Is it a production car or a kit car? Sorry, I'm not familiar with it.


You must really want an Exige

The AIV was Panoz's first car. It was built from 1992 to 1999. It is hand built in GA. A lot of people think it's a kit car but its really a production car like a Morgan. Insurance companies consider it an exotic. It has an aluminum frame, aluminum body panels (except the fenders fiberglass) runs all Ford SVT Cobra mechanicals and a Ford 8.8 coil over rear end.
Panoz other car a GT tourer won the GT3 Lemans in 2004 or 2005.

"You must really want an Exige" I had the car for 7 years and it time to make a change. Maybe a Noble or GT3 would also work. Looking for something I can drive to work a little more.

Panoz is a very interesting company.

Quote:
Panoz Auto Development is a manufacturer of high-performance automobiles founded in 1989 by Dan Panoz, son of pharmaceutical and motorsport mogul Don Panoz.
Don Panoz invented the transdermal patch.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Panoz

None of Panoz's cars really took off. I remember looking at a 1999 AIV Roadster that was brand new, never titled and all four tires were flat. The dealer didn't do anything with it. The bad thing - it was 2004. If you look at the quality of the cars and the components in them they were really well done. I think it came down to a style issue, it was love it or hate it thing.I liked them myself. They still produce the Esperante and it seems they are readying a new model soon.

You are right you either like them or hate them. The AIV is a very hard core car. I drove a Viper GTS, Prowler, Z06 and a S2000 while I was looking.
Since I was buying a 'week end only car I purchased the Panoz. To me it was a funner car to drive and it's, different, looks like an old Healy and I can fix it at any Ford dealer in the country (except body panels).

I drove it to the store on Sunday and the old girl still turns heads and drew a crowd.
