is that Mensrea's car?:bows:

[mensrea]

Yep... that's my car. :):D

mensrea...when will you have performance #s...ie. your #s on the KBMS performance...read the CD stuff...but some think it was tainted...:confused:

[mensrea]

Tainted... high or low????

Next week it will get another full test, and we'll see where the numbers come in. Having driven the car, I can tell you that the 1/4 mile will be in the 12s, and the 0-60 is pretty close to being correct.

Who felt the numbers were tainted, that's the first I heard of this.

kbmg quote from KB numbers in thread;

The same applies to Kenny's Marauder S which WAS NOT tested at a dragstrip. You should expect other numbers to be better than the C&D numbers due to the fact that many of the magazines do test at a dragstrip. With that in mind, it is safe to assume that Kenny's Marauder S is actually faster that the 4.5 second 0-60 time and 13.2 second 1/4 mile time that was published. Also, Kenny's car was tested in virtually zero degree temperatures (dead of winter in Detroit) on a stiff sidewall tire.

This is what I was referring to...just wondering if you had done any more runs...during better times at a dragstrip...not dissing your car at all...green with envy but not dissing...

Oh now I see the light.....

The car will be tested weather permitting at a drag strip next week.

I am also expecting another dyno run here shortly.

Thanks for clarifying

Well the stock Marauder numbers seemed to be tainted
