Performance numbers for Kenny Brown Marauder S

[mensrea]

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 :)

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!

Is some 20 inch rims and tires!!!!:P :P
Seriously though, very impressive!:bows:

[mensrea]

I can't wait to see what numbers I get in the summer (OK spring)... Thanks for your support people, this has been a great experience for me (both this site and the car).

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!

SWEET!!!!

Congrats on owning a fine piece of machinery! Just got those same number in an e-mail from KB today, very impressed... a few more bolt ons and it can do even better... no?

[mensrea]

One can never have too many bolt ons... or too much money!!!

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.

Yeah..but..dollar for dollar

Mensrea, great #'s it is making my wait even harder. But I need to ask in both reviews it states that it is very hard on bumps is it that bad?
