And I mean it!
I've had my Trilogy on for just over a week now and all I can say is I'm having difficulty with it.
I'm in law enforcement and live in a community of only 20,000. I also own the only Marauder in town. My car sticks out like a sore thumb around here!
I cannot find anywhere to open her up on a regular basis. Everytime I hit the gas hard in town I want to :hide: just in case someone I know saw me speeding :D
This car is amazingly fast. It gets up to speed :run: faster than anything I've ever driven...and that includes a 12 second Mustang that didn't feel as fast.
Props to Trilogy, Lidio and the gents at Alt. Auto and all the work that went into this kit.
All I can say is that I'm satisfied...just gotta find a spot to open her up!!!!
Heading to the track this weekend to stretch her legs out a bit and see what she runs.

I left work early today and went to a dentists appt. I was getting back on the interstate and saw noone around.... I stopped, turned the traction control off and left a 20 foot patch of burned rubber on the pavement on the on ramp! :D Scary thing is 20 feet was nothing...I could have left alot more...
I cannot stay out of the pedal...please help :run:

just remember that next time you catch someone doing that while you are "on duty." cut the poor sucker some slack!

:lol:
I usually do... :D
Anyone with a Marauder in my jurisdiction gets a "get out of jail free" card in my book :)
Considering I'm probably the only one....I'll be looking for people "passing through!"

Perhaps I can help with a couple of your problems. If you want to drive over to Rochester, MN, I know of a new piece of blacktop that was built to give access to a couple of businesses that were cut off by the reconstruction of Highway 52. Very little use---I use it for 0-60 testing (and perhaps a little more) before the road turns.
Then when you're done with acceleration testing, we could trade MM's for a week or two :burnout: You driving a DTR MM might confuse your neighbors!!!!
