Mine's a 1999 (engine is a 1998 however, from Panoz that way), black with beige interior and burl wood trim with aluminum accent package. It has just over 7,000 miles on it. I'm probably going to make a few slight mods soon (e.g. shorty headers, Diablosport Predator performance tune, switch to 3.73 rear, maybe underdrive pulleys, not sure about the pulleys though). These few mods should get me to under 8 lbs/hp. woooowoooo; we're talkin' some mean power/wt figures there.

Welcome to the board 99PanozAIV; keep us posted on your mods. How much more horsepower do you think you can make? I can't even control the horsepower Panoz provided me. I may be wrong, but I believe we may be running a bit more horses that Ford publishes. Cold air filter, throttle body and possible computer mods that did not come with the motor from Ford's SVT team. Oh yea, mine is triple black. If you ever come down to Tennessee, bring you Roadster, there is some good rides around.
