What was your top speed?

[vmaxmarauder]

Im wondering what some of the MM owners top all out speed has been. I was watching some crown vics pI on youtube and they were well over 140mph I mean buried looked closer to 160mph I have a 03 300a and 01cvpI and I think my MM would easily get to 100mph faster than my cv but those cars were just flying. So anyone reach those type of speeds?

[offroadking208]

I've gotten the speedo in my CVPI to over 140, but it didn't get there quickly. and the wind was VERY loud, lol. Im curious however, how fast these panther platform cars are capable of going tho.

[TiTo35]

125 so far...

[DTRMiguel]

140 with the OD off still pulling STRONG when i hit 140 so i honestly dont know but it r fast:up:

[Black_Noise]

my old 96 CVPI 140 (stock) took a while.

the MM 130, just to make sure the new programmer was working (lol) and it didnt take long.

and 155 on 2 wheels.... thats a whole nother world!

[jdando]

I have had mine up to the "E" in Marauder on the track :eek:

[Dj1]

I did like 150 mph on 210 racing a Benz :burn:

[MM2004]

I've seen posts on here stating 155+ MPH.

:cool:

Mike.

[Vortech347]

I Hit 145-150. I was going downhill slightly. The car had 3.73's, a cold air kit, and a tune. This was in my old MM. I was trying to keep up with my dad's Roush.

The Needle on the dash was barried.

[hot-rauder]

My old CVPI loved 140 lol

My MM unfortunately never got the limiter off.....

Been passed by one going 140 though.

ask KB-Marauder-S about that lol

[Smokie]

The top end is a total unknown, I do know that 140 is very easy to reach "quickly" in 3rd gear, from a starting point of let's say 75. Every aspect of my car in my opinion can handle exceeding 140 except the driveshaft, it is OEM and I don't trust it's ability to turn true at speeds above 130 for more than a few seconds.

Speeds above 140 can only be documented with GPS or radar; a true top end can only be documented safely (to all except driver) by timing devices such as used at the Bonneville Salt Flats. I am sure that a S/C'ed MM can achieve 155-160; of this I am sure. trying to figure out what your top end is on a public road is a terrible idea.

My top end showed up on my GPS....

the new gps will not document over 85 mph lol

[whd507]

I am asked that all the time. I usually answer with a wink " I dont know the speedo only goes to 140"

and yes it does get there quickly...

[DOOM]

I have had mine up to 156mph O/D off foot wasn't even to the floor, following a fellow C.A.M member who was going faster than I was :eek: :D :burnout:

[sd8683]

I got mine up to 140mph and I was passed by Kb-marauder-s like I was standing still:eek: he had to be going 165 or 170mph:eek:

[Marauder386]

168 on a certain professional track with safety crews posted. Would have been more but the driver's sphincter tightened up so much, he had to back it down...



:cool4:

[xopher]

125 in ideal weather and road conditions and it wanted to keep going, but I didn't.

[Blown3.8]

and 155 on 2 wheels.... thats a whole nother world!

Yessir it is;)

Oh and 130 in a 1/4 mile from standstill in the marauder:D

[Vortech347]

Its funny you mention the flats smokie. Thats where I'm going this sept. :)

Here's my old MM at the flats.

I rode the limiter on the way down to Wendover (where the salt flats are) when the car was totally stock for about 5 miles. :banana2:

[Windsor58]

And it was still pulling strong. With the 4.10s, it should hit redline around 170.

[centexmarauder]

Leaving Centerville this year a certain 04' Gt and i cruised about 3 miles at the MM's limiter. it would go just a tick past 125mph. It was a sunday drive for the mustang.

[Dragcity]

I've had mine past the 140 mark, in third gear.

In the Jag I could set the cruise control at 160 and it could climb the hills of PA maintaining that speed.

[Hack Goby]

Going past 120 on a stock drive shaft has been documented as dangerous.There has been a couple of cars that seals from the trans and rear end that have melted because of speed faster than what the drive shaft was balanced for.

[ctrlraven]

Raced a 300 SRT-8 and my needle was just pass the 140 mark.

[DOOM]

Raced a 300 SRT-8 and my needle was just pass the 140 mark.

Did you beat him? :burnout:

[Krytin]

Hit well past 140 on "private track" w/OD off - still well below redline and N/A!

[Vortech347]

I dunno how you guys got faster than 122 on the limiter. When I took that picture of my dash my foot was to the floorboard and thats all she had.

[Aren Jay]

Get a Tuner and turn off your limiter, it will be all good then.


Me thinks I have gone 80 mph so far.

You must have been going in a circle.


140mph here and the car (NA) had more balls, but I didn't.

[Hadamustang1]

I saved this from a long time ago.I dont remember whos car it was

[Dragcity]

Must be Tom Doan with that low RPM.... Think He has 3.25's

[O's Fan Rich]

70mph where legally posted.

[High-C]

70mph where legally posted.

Yeah... I believe that one... :rolleyes:

[J D]

I plead the fifth . . . but I got up to 118 on an open stretch of highway would have been more as she was still running BUT I believe in two things. First, that the brake should be applied BEFORE a curve, and second, that 80% of all engine damage occurs at the top 10% of the rpm band. It was fun at the top but I came down before I damaged the car or someone else.

[dohc324ci]

135+ on two occasions. Running neck and neck with a Mazdaspeed3 and Acura TL.

[magindat]

154 per aeroforce gauge

Fastest average trip - 105 - Valdosta to Vero in 3hrs 10 min 331 miles
130-140 for over 3 hours with a fuel stop.

[DOOM]

70mph where legally posted.

:rolleyes: :bs:

[Vortech347]

122 is the OEM limiter. After the tune on the same road it looked like what hadamustang posted. heeheeh.

[ImpalaSlayer]

took it to 130 ish the other day. was fun but i prefer to keep my lisence so dont sualy go tat fast

[RedMerc04]

I had it at 130 my senior year of high school. I cant even remember the last time I broke 90. The speed is a rush but I have way too much to live for.

DTR is to slow to go that fast.....

Isnt that the one from the "Big Marauder Video"?
Supercharged if I remember correctly....

[justbob]

And it was still pulling strong. With the 4.10s, it should hit redline around 170.

Have you found a way to erase the top speed on that Garmin yet? Wifey hasn't seen mine yet.:D

[O's Fan Rich]

Yeah... I believe that one... :rolleyes:

Well, I did have this dream one time about 3 Trilogized Marauders, 2 SB and one Black, hammering down Woodward Ave from Pontiac, side by side tickling the 135 mark.... but then I woke up because Michelle was hitting me, I got so excited in my sleep.....

[High-C]

then I woke up because Michelle was hitting me, I got so excited in my sleep.....

I bet that happens all the time... :D

[O's Fan Rich]

I bet that happens all the time... :D

Yep... every time she see's me she thinks "I'd hit that!" And BAM.... I get a bruise!!:fishslap:

[rauder775]

About 115 while "playing" with a Mustang GT I mentioned previously on this board. I backed off though remembering something about driveshaft issue at high speeds...but that time was sure fun!!

[Blackened300a]

I've gotten just above the 135mph mark but ran out of road. Since the 4.10's, It's a slow climb after 125mph.

[Tom Doan]

I can point the needle straight down effortlessly and do it with no hysterics from the car, just quiet smooth application of power very quickly. Jim D'Amore owner of JDM Engineering has had my car to a higher top speed but I think he has all the cops on New Jersey Rt.9 payed off. I dream of Utah but NC Rt.12 is my favorite.
