My favorite part of the review was when he said "these cars were never meant to be tossed around on a track, not that anyone would anyways". My 1 year anniversary of doing track days in mine was actually two days ago, and now that I'm in San diego, I'm going to see if I can get him to check it out. With only a couple mods, it's shockingly competent.
Only other issue I had was his comparison to the Impala SS. Yes, 1995 and 2003 are 7 years apart, but what that doesn't capture is that the B body's chassis was produced with no changes from 1977 until the end in 1996, and the front suspension geometry is actually pulled from the second gen camaro, which began production in 1970. The outside dimensions of the Panther Platform frame is similar to the previous gen, but the 2003 redesign truly brought it into the present. Going back and forth between my Roadmaster wagon and the Marauder is a shocking difference in handling. Also, of course a 350ci pushrod motor has more low end torque than a 281ci DOHC motor, and I actually do prefer it's torque curve for daily driving. BUT, the Marauder motor is infinitely more rewarding when pushed hard.
