    Unhappy SLAPPED by a Buick

    My buddy has a 2000 Buick Regal LS (STOCK) and we both punched it at the green light. He was ahead of me by a half a car length and I finally pulled away at 60mph. I have a JLT and a flash tune by Dennis. I had a passenger too but what the heck????? My Marauder is slow!!!!!!! Any thoughts!!!

    from what I remember reading the Marauder had a 0-60 time about the same as a honda accord ----------But the Marauder looks and sounds a hell of a lot better

    My thought is to agree.

    Your Marauder must indeed be slow.

    Get a blower and make your Marauder how it SHOULD have been made at the factory. No discussion after that mod!

    are you sure he doesn't have a supercharged 3800? those are pretty quick.

    either way, at least you have a right(rear)-wheel drive car that looks badass.

    Positive. Looked under the hood. I still think that I just wasn't driving it right. Oh well.
