hey all
ive been really wanting a marauder for some time now...
but idk what to do b/c i still have not gotten to drive one.
my current vehicle is a 1996 Toyota Avalon XLS that i have done some custom work with.(lowered, new intake exahust, springs struts, performance upgrades) it has a 3.0L DOHC 4v V6 engine that puts out about 200hp to the front wheels. 0-60 is about 6.9sec. as i understand the marauder has a 4.6L DOHC 4v V8 that puts out idk how much but its 0-60 times are abot the same .
how would these cars compare against each other...i know the MM is much biger and heavier.. but agility and handling....and other things in that order...how do these vehicles match up...
i love my car but ive always wanted a panther frame vehicle....


any help?

They handle like a dump truck, you have to drive a MM, there are suspension up-grades, but it will never be agile.

A bit of a tough question to answer, being that the two cars are so dissimilar. The Marauder is a large distinctive car, whose road manners will assuradly be different from that of your Toyota. The Marauder is a car for which simple bolt on mods can have a pronounced effect. If you have any inclination towards modding, I'm sure you'd enjoy owning a Marauder.

i think you might want to look into a "smart car" and mod the living day lights out of it!!:lol:

In stock form the MM handles very good for a car its size, it is the best handling car on the panther platform for sure...

Simple suspension upgrades will make it even better...

Stock HP/TQ output at the crank is 302/318
