We have today 60 total entries in the Timeslip Page.

47 are Marauders.
10 are S/C.
1 on Nitrous.

There are 2: 11 second cars.
There are 9: 12 second cars.
There are 6: 13 second cars.
There are 13: 14 second cars.
There are 17: 15 second cars.

Some observations: 13 sec. cars are the second most rare category. In my opinion there will soon be a 10 sec. Marauder....and if some things go right for me next week there may soon be another 13 sec. entry.

Mine could be in the 12 second range....but I haven't added my timeslip as I'm hoping for better numbers next weekend or the 23rd at Lapeer in MI.

Could be interesting.

The 12 sec. group may in time by the most prevalent one, S/C's are becoming very popular and they put a stock Marauder in that group.

You can go from 15 to 12 seconds about as fast as you can say... charge it please. :burnout:

I prefer the old fashion way... a man's word is good enough for me....unless I have reason to believe the man is a liar; in which case I would not believe it even if I was watching him run in person.:lol:

Smokie, you are a class act. I would post my timeslip but I am camera and computer impaired...but I'm working on it.

Smokie, that is an interesting observation that you've made. I mean about there being more 12 second Marauders than there are 13 second ones. If my Marauder modification experience is a typical one, then I'd have to say that there are, or will be, a number of Marauder owners who spend so much money to get their cars in the 13 second bracket, that by the time they get there, they soon realize that compared to all the $$ that they've already spent to break into the 13's, they could've simply spent a couple thousand more, and be in the 12's w/a Supercharger from the start. It went something like that w/me anyway.

Add another 14 second MM

Plus I don't want to look through my substantial Picture discs to find it

so look at last page HTTP://members.cardomain.com/b26p38

Billy, you are right; the route to 13 seconds without a blower is not easy and can be expensive. I have not been able to do much to my car for now; however I personally know and seen at the track some of the owners of 13 second cars and I noticed that there is a great deal of personal satisfaction in the transformation of a stock MM into a 13 second car that is naturally aspirated.

I also will like to state for the record that I believe that in the near future there will be a naturally aspirated MM. break into the 12's.

I also will like to state for the record that I believe that in the near future there will be a naturally aspirated MM. break into the 12's.A 12 second N/A Marauder? Maybe some day, but it wouldn't happen w/out breaking open the engine, to change to bigger cams, and ported cylinder heads, and having all of that done will cost you more than the S/Cer kit would, IF you also include all the other mods that were already performed to get you in the high 13's. My car was an N/A Marauder in the 13's, so I speak from experience on this. But do as you will.

Eventually you'll see what I mean. When my car was in the 13's, I wasn't satisfied although I received a lot of compliments from people on this board for having at that time the fastest N/A Marauder. If I had it to do all over again, I would purchase the Trilogy Supercharger kit first, and get it over with. Many people write to me now and say "Billy, you're knocking at the door of the 11 second bracket. Get a smaller blower pulley, and you'll be in the 11's for certain" But I'm satisfied w/being in the 12's. The car is my daily driver, and it's an animal. And on the street, nothing that I ever encounter can keep up with me. I'm very satisfied with the way the car is now.
