Fun is relative.

24601, what's your final drive ratio? Any chance of swapping to something taller? [edit] I see on MB's page you state it's a 3.08.

Looking around, I don't know if you could find a taller ratio; that may be as good as it gets.

Middle 20s is good for those boats, nice work.

If you're suffering from a surplus of spare time, there's a couple of guys on YouTube who posted vids of their CV auto-to-manual conversions. Imagine your Panther with a Tremec 6060 with a .5 overdrive.
