  • Supercar Fun / Daily Driver Reliability - 2004 Panoz Esperante

    Panoz Esperante GTLM 4.6L 32 Valve, Supecharged V8, 6sp Man, convertible What a great car. It combines handling on par with contemporary 911 but with more power and acceleration. With modern tires, road grip and performance are on par with current sports cars. Car is mostly aluminum and carbon fiber so weighs less than most convertibles in this size. Chassis has a great combination of handling and comfort, so fun on a twisty road, yet highly comfortable for a night out. Wind buffeting is the lowest of any convertible I’ve been in. Can ride with top down and heat on in all but the coldest weather. At today’s market values they are truly a bargain. With Ford driveline maintenance is inexpensive and the factory still fully supports the cars and offers excellent service. Buy one!

    I own a Panoz Esperante GTLM. It has been a great car from day one. It handles like a true sports car, yet the ride is very comfortable. For a two seater, it is remarkably practical - plenty of storage in trunk for get-always. Roomy interior for two. The supercharged V8 makes for plenty of power, yet the car is docile when driven normally. For current and future owners, there’s a Facebook page started by another person and can be found as Panoz Esperante Club - lot of good information about Panoz and the car there.

    An absolute joy to drive. Perfect blend of style, comfort, handling and power. American ingenuity at its finest. A great throwback to European styling with modern practicality and reliability.

    The Panoz Esperante recaptures the feeling of the old 289 Cobra, which was always the most exciting streetable ride there was. Theres a fun factor so lacking in the other cars available today. Some are faster, most quieter and ride better, some are surely better put together and use prettier materials, but the Panoz gives something else-those intangibles the Cobra gave, the perfect feedback, the complete involvement, the roughness around the edges, the classic style, the exclusivity and the performance that feels better than it actually is. The Esperante, an American made toy, w/high-tech, expensive components that knocks your age back 25-35 years
