    Performance numbers for Kenny Brown Marauder S

    Well I got the first report on the performance of the Kenny Brown Marauder S. Remember these numbers were taken in December, so I am hopeful I can get them down as soon as it warms up. As you can see there is a pretty decent gain over stock. No doubt there will be other results as we move forward.

    Again, remember I am running only 7 lbs of boost

    For more information pick up a copy of April's Car and Driver, on newsstands everywhere by the end of this week. Those of you that subscribe should already have your copy.

    mensrea,

    It's too bad nobody took you up on your bet. You could have bought some slicks! I knew that you would be under 5. Congrats! Awesome car.

    Excellent performance, Bill, bravo!

    Just when new stuff is trickling down to us, we see what the possibilities are. Thanks!

    Good deal. Now, I have to wonder if you don't need to pop your 3.55s
    back in! You should be able to beat SpeedyCops 12.7 easy with some
    tweakin!

    I can't wait to see you run when it warms up!

    Mensrea...wonder if we could get motor trend to compare a KB to the S500. July 02 had a head to head bone stock comparison. 35,000 as compared to 84,000, now that someone has put a few bucks into the MM(probably not 84,000 yet) and let them be compared. In fairness to MT it was not a slap at the MM. Good job man, would love to see the KB run.

    NOW that's an outstanding number!! 0 to 60 is the race "on the street" gotta love that stuff. Nice job Mensrea, I think this makes you a 1%er.

    I'm sure if we all write a letter to an editor he might see the light and get a bright idea to do a comparison... but I think they'd choose an AMG Benz or one with a Brabus or Lorinser kit which will likely eat the Marauder again... in price and performance at once.
