After watching the, er, recent RCR video, I've become interested

Are you a furfag?

Engine swap to a Ford 460. It's smaller than the OHC crap and makes a lot more power.
>part costs are a concern
You can get a running 460 at a junkyard for $500

Could you import from the US for cheaper? And besides, the crappy ones have shitty power and steer like boats

No we can't cuz we have to pay for the tariffs, VAT, car tax (which isn't the VAT), and registration on top of the freight.

>>17832842
No homo tho
>>17832852
>Value added tax on imported goods
I dont get this

>>17832859
I don't get it either. And it's quite complicated for someone who doesn't know much about the process. For a car you import from outside the EU you pay 29% (let's assume the car is older than 2003, otherwise the percentage is based on the emissions) car tax for the car, based on the average price it would have here in Finland. So let's say I would import a Crown Vic and those would go for that €6k in Finland, I would have to pay 29% of €6k which is €1740. Then you pay 10% of what the car costs in America as the tariff, and let's say the Crown Vic costed something in Dollars which would be €2k. So €200. And you pay 24% tax off that €2k + €200 which is €528. Then on top of that you pay for the registration and of course for the shipping itself.

So in the end for a car you got for €2k from America you would have to €2468 + registration (which isn't much though) and shipping on top of the 2k.

Just get a police interceptor and fix it up. Much cheaper base cost and its pretty good right off the bat.

>>17832787
It would be the same price either way. You'd have to spend at least $20,000 to properly do it.

Go for it

News flash: all Panthers have shitty power and steer like boats. All the 24mm sway bars in the world won't make up for it being an 18 foot barge with a weight of two tons or more.

The Marauder's power increase is notable but still not fast. The only reason Mr. Regufur thought it was so quick is the owner of the car in the video put ridiculously short gears in the rear, which will make any car fast off the line.

>>Expensive
>>Unreliable
this is objectively false

>>Mediocre interior
not debating it, but interiors are really subjective. it does what it sets out to do

>>Community gets spastic if you drive your car
you mean /o/ gets spastic because they are all autists. Normies dont give a fuck if you drive a Vic, while Grand Marquis and Town Cars will get you conversation from old folks but not much else. there's nobody that will get "spastic" unless you are actively trying to impersonate or look like a cop, in which case the police are gonna go spastic.

>>Slow for it's era
it's a landyacht. it's not built for speed. it's built for cruising at 55 on long stretches of highway. And what it lacks in speed, it more than makes up for with loads of torque.

But It's certainly not slow. It's not fast, but slow isn't a word I'd use. It has absolutely no problem getting out of it's own way.

And honestly, it's fairly standard for it's class of car, back in it's day.

>4v mod
>LOADS OF TORQUE

"No"

They have basically the same amount of torque as the 2v, the only reason they make more power is because they rev higher.

4 gear auto is the thing that cripples it because of the rpm drop from gear to gear
