My customer from Englewood (Who owns a 300a) e-mailed me this link. I see this guy on the road all the time in my "territory". If you watch closely you'll catch a glimpse of the Cobra badge on the front fender. This is FHP Troop "F" by the way-

I am hoping for a lot more crown vic effect. Not to argue with the LEO but the cause of road rage is not agressive driving but left lane a-holes who have no clue of keep right except to pass and LEO's who refuse to enforce that law.:mad: Dennis

Worst road in the USA for road rage.

The only thing it will keep from happening is speeding by a Marauder which I don't think any of us do without slowing down, if only to see if we recognize the MM in question. How many times have you went by or rolled up on a MM and said to yourself "Oh, he's working".

Did the FHP cars get 4.10's and the MMX drive shaft?

That aired with our local news station here in Fort Myers. Afterwards it was cool to see the reaction of cars when I was in my "silver" Marauder dirving around. Going over the mid-point bridge I was driving the speed limit (really) and no one would pass me. Speed limit 55, normally people travel 65-70.

The Wolf Pack is a good concept and should be enforced. A lot of idiot drivers out there. Plus seeing Marauders is really cool.

Actually, here in SW Florida, we have lucked out in that department. There are several that are very easy on the eyes. My personal favorite is the weather girl on the local Fox Station.

If anyone wants to grab that video to their hard drive, I just tried a free-trial program called CaptureWiz, and saved the whole video. It was about 183 megs (!?!?) on highest capture settings. I tried lower settings, but the audio/video never synced up properly....was like watching a dubbed movie.
Anyways, just thought I'd pass that on to you all.

Tell me about it, oy!

I would love to have people think im a trooper and get out of my way in the morning, i know in florida it'd work best, in new jersey its far from it.


Why do all the news people have to sounds so clueless, i laugh at theyre unintelligence as to what to call a modified car, "Its a Sooooped up marauder" Does it have NNAAWWWWZZZZ to?

But yes cool video, cool car, the burnout was very unexpected ;)

Hey little buddy, they, in fact, are souped-(sp.)up by our own Dennis Reinhart for the State Troopers. I'm not sure of the mods but they are reported to go fast!

The cars are suppose to have 4.10's, tune and bigger brakes.

The cars are suppose to have 4.10's, tune and bigger brakes. The Troopers that stop by the Tower Shops told us the Rear gears are stock for highway use, That Dennis up graded the front & rear sway bars and Gave them a performance tune. He also said that they have to keep doing brake jobs on them because they heat up too much.

I live down here in St Augustine where that one trooper smashed his Silver Marauder into a palm tree and even with lights behind the grille most drivers don't seem to care or look and just keep on hauling ass down the road. this is what I did.

That guy was 2007 Trooper of the Year. Cool. Probably why he gets the cool car to drive.

Depends. If it's true merit based, then YESH ! If it's politically influenced like where I work, then no. My feeling is the former. He looks like a worker bee.

Back when i lived in detroit, everyone would think i was a cop. When i see a cop marauder i just always know. But its mainly because the detroit area uses mostly all black crown vicks, so i'm use to it.

Im in NW Michigan and I get people hitting their brakes when they see me, even with the 18inch shiny wheels! They just get really shocked to see my Marauder thinking that it is a slick top PI. The people I get behind slow down, and as cars are going by you can see all of them hitting the breakes as they pass me.

When Im at work and drive a marked CVPI with a light bar people act way funnier.

Hey-thanks for the tip!! That is a great little program for capturing stuff!
BTW, if anyone is interested in some cool FHP pics of Marauders, I've got a bunch on my site.
