The Panoz GTR cars I drove at Road Atlanta were racing cars pure and simple-no
interiors, etc. They were a far cry from the Tiger (or even the Cobra). I am
sure they are faster with 35+ of technology added but nowhere near as
comfortable.

I went on the Panoz factory tour yesterday
(http://www.panozauto.com/)
where they make low volumes of specialty roadsters and
sports cars with Ford drive trains. Several of the
people there had/have Sunbeams. I believe that one of
the Panoz's still has a Tiger. The cars were very
nice and it reminded me of the Ian Garrard/Carrol
Shelby/Jesen line stories of the development and
production of the Tiger. The cars however, are much
more elite than I believe Sunbeams were in their day.
I think it's pretty great that these guys hang in
there in the road racing circuit with the big boys.
Now if I can just get my cars put back together......
