ahhh - whoops on my part. But that's a good thing, as the 3650 is stronger than a T5, right?

it is a better transmission, there is no direct way to bolt a T5 to a modular engine.
I did it it my modular swap but it was a pain and definitely not worth it.

Too bad it's not a 03+ those cars are so much nicer...

Yeah - the '03 & '04 are the ones to have. Upgraded front suspension & brakes over the '02 models, without the undesirable drive-by-wire throttle of the '05+ models.

I believe the '03 & '04s share the suspension ( or at least a bunch of it ) with the Marauders, and I am very impressed with the way the Marauders drive.

That's a great deal - is it a solid color or black & white? If it is solid you really made out. It has another 200k in it if you behave yourself.

It's green with a white hood as of now...got backed into a week ago 4k estimate for a dented quarter, so ill get the whole car repainted. My last p71 had 240k and I sold it for 2500 and still see it around. These cars are my favorite.

Avg fuel mileage? 18?

How about highway? 23-24?

...if you behave yourself.

Good behavior is highly over-rated! Driving a panther-platform car sideways, on the other hand, is highly addictive! :sticktonge:

That's about right.

I have a Marauder. It gets about 16 around town and 24 on the highway. It's got a Trilogy/Eaton supercharger on it and stock 3.55 gears. The highway MPG is with the cruise set on at least 75 mph and loaded for vacation, ripping through the mountains of West Virgina and such on I-79.

Panthers are remarkably easy on fuel... especially for a dinosaur!

I also have a marauder absolutely love it. My p71 is for the winter months 4 studded snow tires its a monster...I average 20-21 regular driving but that's rare I can stay out of the gas.

That is good fuel mileage for such a large vehicle...built like tanks is also a plus.
