Re: My Marauder :)

Love the Marauder. When you start it up it sounds as good as it looks. My Dad has a 2003 black/black and the ride is great. For a car of this size, it's amazing. I want it! Did you get the leather jacket that came with it???

Re: My Marauder :)

yes...quite a car! They are neat cars, but from the factory, they're just lacking a bit of HP/TQ for their heavy weight. This self installed set up here helps mine go just a bit faster with a trunk full of groceries 409 RWHP

Re: My Marauder :)

Maybe I am Mopar biased but that car is about plain Jane as they come.... I am not flaming the car but com'on. Ford done as good as GM for styling just look at the 2005 GTO's. Not knockin anyones Marauder just think Ford could have and should have done alot better with this car. If you guys remember Chrysler was on a good high with the 300C and the launch of the Charger much better looking and perfoming cars than the Marauder.

I'm a bit biased also but I got the car also since it is; B-O-F, RWD, FULL FRAME, v8, powered monster! Oh and having a massive 20.2 cuFT trunk helps

Autoweek has these stock 1/4 mile times: "The Marauder gets up and moves, scrambling to 60 mph in just over seven seconds. We recorded a quarter-mile time of 15.6 seconds at 94 mph, which is respectable but not intimidating."

The Maurader weighs 4,195 lbs. and its 4.6L has 302 hp.
