All,



I can't believe the quantity and quality of information that is flowing on this

list... Every subject from suspension, wheels and tires, carburation, fuel

injection, exhaust and engine breathing is being covered through questions and

insightful answers.  Nothing beats personal experiences shared with other car

owners... beats bench racing.  THANKS, SHANE!



As a member of the 924-944@porschefans.com list, probably the most active

marque list on the 'net, I can say without a doubt that the Pantera list is

every bit as active and generates just as much good information and discussion.

All this from a population of maybe 4,000 cars compared to 40,000 or so 944's

running around the world.  Now, if we can only convince more Pantera owners and

enthusiasts to join in the discussion.  I know there are car owners and people

who want to own Panteras who have internet access and haven't yet discovered

this list.  Any suggestions how best to advertise?  I believe the POCA monthly

mentioned Shane's web page and this list once.  What about PI's web page, or S.

Wilkinson's?  (I don't recall if either mentions the list.)  Anything we can do

to increase information flow and also interest in the marque will benefit all

present and future owners.  Of course, part of me is happy the cars have not

yet been recognized as they should be in the collector market, or as affordable

high performance toys.  That way the people who really appreciate the cars are

able to enjoy them.



Of course if you are trying to sell yours, higher prices would be welcomed.
