Kenny Brown P2 Panther on MotorWeek TV

[@KennybrownPerformance]

The car featured in this video just popped up for sale last month. Don't know if it has sold yet or not. That is the original that was tested by TV and Magazines, and was the vehicle that prompted Ford to seriously start thinking about the Mercury Marauder. Whoever does or has purchased the car got a real collectable...

[@jaybaby644]

Kenny Brown Performance do you still have the car

[@mohammadalmizari]

do kenny brown still make this pakage if i bring them a 2011 crown vic ??

[@jayjenkins810]

I got 25 k cash for one of these

[@michaelhildebrandt1073]

@Kenny Brown Performance did I see that right, only 7 of these things made? I wonder how many are still actually around

[@cadethatdude85]

I remember when this originally aired... I wanted one of these then... still do.. MotorWeek was my show

[@waynemullally6423]

Gotta say, I love my stock 2004 mercury grand marquis. Plenty fast enough. Tinted windows leather seats, this panther is the pinnacle of body on frame American auto design. All made in Canada, so ford could classify it as an impòrt and get around fleet emissions standards

[@Cincy32]

I cannot believe that I'm 32 years old - I've owned a Crown Victoria & currently own a Grand Marquis, the very first car I ever rode in was my dad's brand new 90 Town Car home from the maternity ward - & this is the very first I've ever known of this car. WOW! I promise one day I will drive one of these, hopefully own one. ✝️🙌🏻

[@johnnymason2460]

Now here's a modified Crown Victoria that All Cars With Jon should see and react to. I know I love it.

[@Dragunov302]

Now that’s respectably quick. They should’ve made this performance with the marauder

[@tedschmitt178]

Or the Town Car

[@RhinoXpress]

51,000 for a fully dect out Kenny brown p2 package is a good deal, esp when you are getting 350hp 0-60 in 5.2 seconds!

[@noaht5191]

That was a lot of money back then. It’s a lot now but it’s not about money, it’s the experience and that uber rare badging from King Kenny himself.

[@spacecadet.tx11]

yep! but the coolest thing without a doubt about the SS and the Saab 9-7 aero is the ability to just blow people away when they aren't paying attention!

[@nabeelshaikh1103]

This car shouts AMERICAA!! 🇺🇲

[@nigahiga6400]

Funny because this is actually faster than the new Taurus. Ford should have done something similar for the Crown Vic: beef up the engine and suspension, then add some modern technology, and sell it as the new Police Interceptor.

[@agencyheadquartersdc4568]

but not as fast tt turbo ford taurus

[@Christoph_NTX]

Hermann Goering most depts dont get the turbo interceptors because of the cost

[@remyjay3449]

but the turbo interceptors are faster than this awesome crown vic

[@charliedee9276]

And the times have changed. I have an 06 P71, picked it up with low miles. I am not really a Ford guy but I do like the styling and the fact it's a traditional 4 door land yach, I like plenty of room for my friends and I's shit on road trips. Stock it is not fast. Runs ok but face it, something that big needs lots of torque to get moving and a 4.6L, 5.4L, even a high revving 5.0L no matter how you slice is not going to get it done. You want that tuna boat to move you need cubes, lots of them. 600 lb ft is a good start. And there is really only 2 ways to get a big inch motor in a CV. One is an old school Ford engine, stroked 351 Windsor based, or a 460. The other is to look outside the blue oval, heresy I know. But the bow tie boys have a wonderful line of plants that are physically smaller outside but much bigger inside then the 4.6/5.4 lump Ford offers. As others have done and I am about to embark on is mildly boosted 6.0L GM plant. I do love a smaller fast car, but I like to road trip. And the only way IMO to do that is in a big comfortable air conditioned quiet car with a kickin sound system...and the ability to easily hit the 12's or quicker in the Q reliably.

[@5.0_life30]

charlie dee To make a stock crown Vic quicker and faster change the gear ratio and supercharge it. No need for more cubes

[@dr.hugog.hackenbush9443]

I know its really late, but with 4-valve heads and 14lbs of boost, it will put out 600hp all day long.

[@LA_Commander]

Just put a good blower on it and add a limited slip diff and maybe 3.55 or 3.73 gears. Done.

[@virginiaroach6103]

In 2003 all Panthers got rack and pinion, better shocks/springs a hydro-formed frame and positive offset wheels. They also have speed sensitive steering. My MGM ls ultimate takes curves flat and confident at relatively fast speeds. They are great trouble free cars and surprisingly fun too.

[@jedwards100able]

They also were 2nd year PI 1st year mustang cams. 2002 had Expedition cams.

[@chrisoconnor3119]

I agree! I have an 05 crown vic lx sport and the car is no slouch, highway driving make you want to deive faster. Super solid. I have the HPP and the stiffer swaybars. the rear end is 3.55 or 3.73?

[@Zoe-rr1sm]

I love it........I want one.........

[@mattjohnston7686]

Sweet car, I LOVE IT

[@aaronjones8341]

If you want to wake your panther more besides full bolt ons change the the final drive gear ratio...you won't regret it...

[@chrisdooley6468]

I changed them too and it was simply the biggest bang for your buck besides forced induction. It was incredible

[@aaronjones8341]

+Chris Dooley Yep the best mods besides Jmod

[@Rawdiswar]

How do I do that? I have an '11 with the 3.27 rear end.

[@guysteel]

I have changed the gears in several cars that I have owned. Since the Crown Vic has an over drive trans and all that weight, I would go to 3.90 or 4.10 gears.

[@dodgeguyz]

Had a 97 Grand Marquis. Put in 3.73’s, J-mod (factory type shift kit), and a good tune. It made the car unbelievable! It ran with the mustangs of the same years and would walk away from the P71’s. I also lowered it and put on Lincoln LSC wheels and tinted the windowless. It was a bad ass cruiser!

[@fread51]

5.2 damn that's pretty fast wouldn't take much to get it down to 4.0

[@bluesharp59]

Cool video and gave you a thumbs up.

[@spacecadet.tx11]

which is no less than 3 years newer and has nearly 1.5L of displacement on the Vic. Just goes to show how much performance is changing on a year by year basis since 2000

Some of those used parts are still in good condition and your saving a bundle just saying.

How many of these were made??

[@ziggy3237]

Why choose the 2 Valve 4.6L and not the 4 Valve or 5.0HO of the same generation Mustang? I mean, I love this set up as it is, but I can’t seem to make sense of putting factory performance parts on a factory non performance engine... well, factory?.

[@NewEdgeDesigns]

The 4.6 replaced the 5.0 across the board in Ford by 1996...

[@ziggy3237]

@@NewEdgeDesigns true, but the SN95 had it in its first incarnation as the High Output 5.0. They stopped producing them more than 3 years after the EN53 Vic went into production. Consider that departments started using then in 1993, you would kinda expect a 5.0HO to go into one. It does suck that we didn’t get a 5.0 Vic.(most notably they would paint the 5.0 in Ranger Splash Orange or Purple). But yeah, the 5.0 died out in favor of the 4.6L. The Vic I have has a Romeo 2 Valve and I still kicked an SN95’s butt.

[@trumpet12345]

Wish they would have sold this now and passed out the savings to the consumer for the tooling and such payed for. Those are nice numbers for an old school muscle type ride.

Very spetacular car. Great perfomance

[@P7777-u7r]

That looks like a twin cam 4.6 though. The oil filler is on the driver side while the more common single cam 4.6 has it on the passenger

[@erichaley4485]

should have gave it the 4Valve DOHC 4.6L from the Cobra and supercharged it. I'm sure there would've been much more oomph under the hood. at least 425-430 horses. that was quite alot for a crown vic

[@LA_Commander]

The Mercury Marauder had that DOHC motor, and yes, a blower on it would be friggin awesome!!!

Would have been better to do this to a later year one when ford ditched that crappy recirculating ball steering and gave the crown vic rack and pinion

[@xsbgtr]

This or the Marauder?

[@christopherschnell1833]

THIS!!!!!!!!

[@dr.hugog.hackenbush9443]

Definitely Marauder. You start out with more, and the potential is much better.

[@dickjones3503]

Automatic?

[@DAIadvisor]

As much as I like Crown Vics, if I am going to blow 51k, it will be on something that looks like I spent 51k - Mercedes or a Jaguar. People will think I am insane for spending that kind of money on a tricked out CVPI

[@5.0_life30]

Evelyn Craine I totally agree. If I wanted a tricked out CV I'd buy a P-71 and throw in the typical bolt ons and supercharge it. I'm looking at a $10K investment and I know I'll smoke the KBP2

[@rashad6509]

right

[@Oldbmwr100rs]

You can pick up a supercharged mid 2000's Jag for nothing and in good shape. The 4.2 SC engine is great and powerful stock if you just take good care of it. I've found after working on them they're far more like an american car than a european one as far as simplicity of care. In 03 the XJ platform went all alloy, so those are frighteningly quick in the SC models.

[@JesusSaves86AB]

Keep in mind this was many years ago. I got a nearly mint senior owned 01 CV LX last year with 100,500kms for under $2000. One could pick up a used CV for cheap and put a few grand into it and get a hell of a lot more power than 400hp with a turbo. A few more grand buys you a forged rotating assembly which could handle in the area of 700hp. The transmission is another story

[@johnmoose6664]

Does anyone know what model those rims are, I heard him say the make being Ronal but cant find that rim.

[@fastfordman1965]

By a police interceptor with the 250 hp 4.6. Do a CAI, aftermarket throttle body, and free flowing exhaust on top of a 100-150 shot nitrous system and you will smoke that overpriced panther if you look hard enough you can get a police interceptor with a factory 3.55 posi gear also. All this for way less then 10 grand and that's with these mods on a prestine police interceptor.

[@nickmotsarsky4382]

Yeah, but then you're still stuck with an old ford. Lol. I just got rid of my modded 99 GT with 68,000 miles on it. Car was a headache.

[@fastfordman1965]

What went wrong with the Mustang?

[@nickmotsarsky4382]

fastfordman1965 rear axle exploded on highway. Electrical issues. Sometimes wouldn't start.

[@aspieotaku3580]

Nick Motsarsky Those p71s are tough mileage means nothing to them I have one with 191k miles and it still runs like its brand new. Have yet to have electrical issues on mine maybe im lucky i also have a friend who runs a taxicab service and his p71 has 372650 miles and it drives fine as well.

[@corneliusgregory8oh47oh3]

Aspie Otaku Me too my Crown Vic has been through everything still runs like its brand new 150K miles. If you take care of it and keep it up they last forever no bs and they are highly affordable. Old Cop one has the Eco chip saves tons on gas, it hits hard, str8 muscle, upgrades today are endless, its roomy, seats fit you comfortable, all my freinds love it and they never liked them until I got mine, now they are getting one and we are customizing :). So glad I got one and I wasnt gonna do it cuz it was a cop car but its the best investment I ever made. Never really get pulled over for anything shit dude you cant beat that. Just do upgrades as you go this car just keeps getting better :)

@SpiritedDriver- Umm, I think that weight and aerodynamics also count as performance numbers. Your TB SS is 1600lbs heavier and is actually smaller, and more difficult/expensive to fix/upgrade. You lose.

[@brspeedysgarage]

Marauder wheels look better on this car.

[@JoitaConstantin]

I like somehow US cars, but let's be onest; US cars are laizy and the body roll is simillar to a boat. Any european car with a minimum 2L displacement and it will piss on most of US cars. 4.6 L supercharged and only 350 bhp? That means 76,08 bhp/L, which is lame. A 96-00 Ford Mondeo/Contour with a 2l displacement and a normal aspirated engine ( no turbo or supercharger ) has 131 bhp (and max 1.400 kg), which means a 65,5 bhp/L. A Ford Escort Cosworth from the early 90's has a 2L turbocharged engine and it has 220 bhp from factory; and permanent 4wd, and a great handling, and the list can continue. And I can bet that the fuel economy is better.

[@electronpusher604]

+SuperMadcox Fuel economy is better, reliability is better. I agree very much about Euro cars, but here in the States there literally aren't a lot of corners and the roads are dogshit. I drive a Crown Vic because I rarely drive on twisty roads, and there are giant potholes on every road in this area, even on freeways. The car is designed for the environment, I guess you'd say. Would you really want to drive a Benz on roads with holes like these? mgtvwric.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/still.jpg?w=650
