What do you think??

Tons of aftermarket parts for the motor. I can get it to 300+ at the wheels easy and have a bad ass sleeper. Also people will see it coming and get the hell out of the way.

Why not just buy a Marauder? Or a Police Package Crown Vic?

Because Marauders are rare and expensive as fuck, its pretty much a marauder and P71s don't have the nice interior.

Oh and cops beat the fuck out of those things, this one was probably driven 8 miles per hour everwhere by a 90 year old man.

rebuild a Grand National. that'd be cool...seriously. a little redneckish looking, but good for domestic motors.

I have been looking an old Impallas too. After my girlfriends two accidents I am looking to get somethign bigger so I don't get killed when one of the thousands of asshole around here slam into me. I would get a Maxima but I hate FWD. I was looking at the Caddy CTS too.

Driving boat like cars gets old. I was driving a Jaguar Vanden Plas for a few weeks, its was absolutely no fun to drive. Everyone liked it, and I probably shuda just kept it but its not fun to drive a car that big at all.

yea i like typhoons too, but i never see any of them at all. i see more Nationals. theres a guy next to the Acworth PD who always has like 3-4-5 or more black Grand Nationals sitting out in his parking lot. idunno why, but it just kinda looks lke he has a collection going on at his business parking lot.

I am eventually going to get an S13 and do a built KA turbo and this will be my DD but that's far into the future.

oh and good luck getting 300 to the rear wheels.... My brother has a GT and every bolt on imaginable wont get it to 300. you will have to go big and get cams and a good intake manifold (P51) to make that kind of power, and that shit aint cheap on those. Its rediculous how the 4.6 SOHC doesn't respond to bolt ons at all.

I would probably put a blower on it.

well make it a big one!!! for the money you should just swap a 5.4L DOHC navigator engine in it. get a 99-03 cobra intake mani/tb, headers, intake, and a good tune and you should be able to get about 350whp.

There was a P71 on ebay a year or so ago with that swap. He said at 40mph he could floor it and smoke the rear tires.
