Meanwhile, the original Pantera's 351 hp engine has also been replaced with The GM's 600 hp LS3 eight-cylinder engine coupled with Holley's electronic fuel injection system. The power of engine is channeled through a five-speed ZF transmission, while the double-stainless steel exhaust is done by the Flowmaster. For the legs by the modifier then pinned the HRE 'S101' three-piece forged wheels wrapped with the Nitto Invo's tires with stopping power produced by the Baer six-piston calipers at each corner.
