Have around $90,000 to spend on a roadster and want something more unique than a 911 Carrera or Mercedes SL500?  The Panoz Esperante might be for you.  Using the 320 HP engine from the 02 Mustang Cobra, the Esperante runs the 1/4 mile in 13.7 seconds.  Although many parts of borrowed from the Cobra, the Esperante is by no means a glorified Mustang.  Curb weight is 300 lbs lighter than a cobra thanks to light weight aluminum body work which makes for a more spirited drive.  The Esparante is everything a touring car should be with a blend of looks, luxury, and speed. Each one personalized to the owner's tastes.
