Not really a "muscle" car but I'm very biased to the Taurus SHO. Sleeper, no cop attention, very fast for what it is and it's a great overall car for a family. The new ones are TT AWD, the older ones came in stick and were very fun cars, but are hard to find in nice shape these days.

I was doing research and I'm leaning towards the marauder considering its about 10G's cheaper than a SRT8 and it has that cop car appearance( I really like the fact people move out of the way for crown vic because they think its always a cop car) also it would be easier to do maintenance. Since I'm already familiar with the modular motor. I would also settle for a CVPI with ram bars and spot lights. I seen some for 3-5k.

when i get older and have kids to drive around, ive decided im going to get an AWD v8 charger. Wasn't a fan of the older ones but the newer body style is a SUBSTANTIAL upgrade...and they didnt really change all that much lol

LOL
Why would a guy want to drive a Lincoln LS with LM1 and X pipe?
That just seems like a terrible combination of vehicle and mods...

I agree that I have dreamed about having a Crown Vic or other police looking vehicle to drive so that others would move out of my way. It seems like it would make commuting in traffic easier. However, there would also be the unintended consequence of people thinking they are being followed by a cop and slowing down in front of you.

A clean used G8GT would make for a very comfortable family car that gets "reasonable" fuel mileage and runs well for a family sedan.

You can find them for ALOT cheaper than the others. You dont see nearly as many of them around either.

those little 3.9 V8's have ***** man and as to why, well why did they make a 300C SRT8?

I was thinking of selling my 03 GT and looking to buy a 06 Impala SS. They look nice and have 303hp and they are pretty roomy.
