Interesting, but they are just going to build what we already have available!

I like the picture with the 16 bikini girls, and the caveat: NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.

With the car in the YouTube video, you could really get the "Crown Vic effect", because the blower is loud enough to be a police siren.

They claim they will build both 525 and 725 hp versions with various modifications to the drivetrain. Sounds a little fishy to me.

Should sound fishy anyways since their saying 2007/2008 MERCURY MARAUDER.

They're not talking about Mercury building '07/'08 MM's, but they say, "We want to build you a 2008 Mercury GRX!" I don't think I want them building me a car! Why do they use GRX? I don't like it since it reminds me of a Buick too much. Yea though, that is definately a Trilogy. If I were JB, I'd call them pronto and ask what's up!

Their "about us" page says they'll be making them based on the 2008 GM platform, but says nothing about suspension upgrades. New motor, trans. rearend, headers w/exhaust? They'll even put a roots on your 03 or 04 MM. I'll have to email Charles....

THE 24V ENGINE WILL BE REPLACED BY A DYNO TUNED CUSTOM BUILT MODIFIED 32V
ENGINE WITH AN INTERCOOLED SCREW TYPE SUPERCHARGER.

LOL. These guys don't have their facts straight. It's not even a 24v, it's a 16v first of all. AND, there is no 2008 Panther platform available to the public.

Why is there a Trilogy pictured?:

looks like they used the picture from the Trilogy Motorsports site.

Isn't that also TMFs engine pictured?

a few other pictures appear to have been 'lifted' as well

Maybe not. Possibly just a picture borrower

I don't see them listed as a Trilogy authorised installer, and that's the only Marauder specific Roots type.

That's why I said not available to the public. As in I couldn't go to a Ford dealer and buy one.

OK, I though you were saying there would be no Grand Marquis either



.............. there is no 2008 Panther platform available to the public.
