    Default Seriously considering this as my next car

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2004-...QQcmdZViewItem

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.
