Oh shit I didn't realize who I was talking to! Love your shows man, yeah the T56 wasn't put into a cobra until 2003, but I could see it being swapped, they are both tremec transmissions using the same mounts. The T45 isn't the strongest trans in the world and these cars were retired with around 15-20k abused miles on…

No it isn't, and no panther before the marauder had a tach. Every 2006 + panther came standard with a tach, they just had a different gauge cluster layout

So are you that typical eurodouche who likes to talk about how awesome euro cars are at car meets, and how everything else sucks? What do you drive exactly?

They had a T45 5spd manual from a 99 cobra, NOT a 6spd

my paint will stay on to!

Also, for all of you internet bench racers who think this 4200lbs parts bin sedan can't handle... Car and driver pulled .89G on the skidpad in the 2005 mustang GT, in the 2003 marauder they pulled .86G. Thats pretty god damn close for a platform from 1979 using the best handling factory parts they had available. The…

Nope, a stock engine on a good tune is good for 450rwhp (thats the ballpark we use), some people have gone as deep as 500 on a stock longblock and not blown up, but I'm going to hang around 430. In a few years I'd like to drop in a forged rotating assembly and repaint the car to redfire, but for now this will be…

First off Patrick, as the owner of a 2004 Dark Toreador Red Marauder, thanks for writing this. I sign off jalopnik for 2 hours and come back to this, nice!

The 1998 concept was half vic half marquis, the front end is literally a crown vic with a mercury badge

Grounded to the ground?

Can I just go against the grain and say I don't hate it?

Looks like they lost their asses on this one then

"Craigslist be like: Barely seen snow or water"

at least your car isn't miles under water right now. Think of the positives!

I see some straps on the deck, but come on, this is just BS. Aren't cars supposed to be shipped in containers? This is like ultra-poverty shipping express right here...

I like how we are already coming up with ways to mess with cars that aren't in public hands yet. This is how we're going to defeat skynet, by being prepared!

I was thinking the same thing....

Aftermarket headunit! This is a bigger deal on older cars, but adding an aftermarket headunit will not only improve the quality of the factory speakers, but will allow you to play music from an iPod or other MP3 player.

I thought it was known already that the stig is made up of many people?
