Marauder SVT Emblem

[swordfish]

OK, I have found a guy that will make custom emblems for the Marauder. A guy saw a picture of My engine with the Eaton swap and sent an email about them. I had him send me one and it looks factory. He can even do different colors. If anyone is interested I can email you the info. I'm not trying to sell em I just told him I would let everyone know. I took a picture with my phone hopefully you can see it ok.

Here is a link just tell him what you want.

What's an SVT Marauder?

[fastblackmerc]

??????????????????????

:shake::shake::shake::shake:

Exactly.

[Black_Noise]

awsome!!

any why does everyone *****, im sure all of you have gotten your certificate of authenticity from ford performance group right, is it just cause they coudlnt call it svt from the factory cause its a merc, is that why you fight it.

Come on now

[ctrlraven]

I think it's pretty nice. PM me the info about it.

[boatmangc]

I'm thinking with my Aluminator I qualify, no?

Ford Performance Group has nothing to do with SVT.

The Marauder was not an SVT vehicle.

Just like it's NOT

A Police Interceptor

A Cobra

What is the measurement of it?

Looks okay to me, but I am not a fan of any emblems on anything.

Actually, that's a good question. The more I look at the emblem the more I think I like it. Who cares if it isn't an SVT? People put all kinds of emblems and stickers on Marauders. S-55, Cobra emblems, Police Interceptor, SCT, Harley, Marine Corps, to each thier own.

Did I say it was? But it didnt come with those certificates from the factory, so why is it cool for everyone to go get them?

I still say, if our MM was a CV with a 4V motor off the assembly line, you bet your ass it would of had an SVT badge on the back.

Hey hey it was cold out!

"Do women know about shrinkage!?!"

"Like a frightened little turtle!!"

BTW: I'm not a big fan of badges that really don't belong on the vehicle...there is already enough confusion about what a Marauder is.
I'd leave those add-on type badges to the CV guys. But, hey...to each his own.

If people really understand what SVT was/is, there's no way you could ever consider a Marauder an SVT vehicle.

"Special Vehicle Team, also known as SVT, is an arm of Ford Motor Company responsible for the development of the company's highest-performance vehicles...The group mainly produces specially tuned versions of Ford production vehicles..."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Vehicle_Team

So, a Marauder couldn't possibly be considered a specially tuned version of a production vehicle? I know it wasn't offered under the SVT program, but IMO it looks like it meets the criteria.

SVT = Special Vehicle Team

[Black_Noise]

The Special Vehilce Team are the ones that would take an existing ford vechile and make it high performance.... how does the marauder not fit into that other than it being a mercury?

oh thats right, there was alot of other full size cars that ford decided to make custom interiors, wheels, bumpers, and such, forgot about those.

Lets not forget about others that deserved it so much, like the SVT contour, it was so high performance.... oh and the focus with 170hp... i bet it does wheelies :lol: and it wears an svt badge.




LOOK, all im really saying (and if you cant comprehend it then too bad) is that the idea of our car may not have come from inside the SVT department but another design department, and that they wear a mercury badge, is the only reason they arnt an SVT vehicle.

the end

[mrjones]

If they were going for maximum hp, the badge would read "GT-R"!!

[breeze]

yea the marauder isnt an svt vehicle to me! I like the idea but not for me. only svt on my car will be on the blower.

[Egon Spengler]

I am going to have to pass on this. I am one of those believers that the marauder is not an SVT vehicle. Plus I like the stealth / badgeless look. The badges look cool... if it was a SVT.

The SVT vehicle motors were HAND-BUILT on a niche line by two individuals, and with 4V applications, has their initials stamped on the cam cover..
Not "on an assembly line".

Just because a vehicle is "specially tuned" does not make it an SVT vehicle.
And is a Marauder "specially tuned" from the factory?
Aren't they all?

SVT is a factory badge. That means that it was released from the factory in that condition. If you have done mods, then it was changed from its stock configuration.

If you changed it from its stock configuration and are happy with it, why would you give FoMoCo the credit, when it was YOU who made it happen?
Especially after FoMoCo turned its back on the MM the way they did.

If the motor in your MM was not built by SVT, then there is no reason to put badges saying that they did.
If you built your own motor, why would you give SVT credit for it?


That is the whole point.
If you have missed this point, I really don't know what to say.

SVT has done so many vehicles(Focus, Contour, Lightning, Cobra, etc., ) and they didn't do Mach 1s, and they didn't do Marauders, either.

[massacre]

. if it was a SVT.


If it was, you wouldn't need the badges :)

So anyone with a terminator cobra, or a lightning, if they have added a different pulley, or a programmer, or a cold air intake, or headers.... then they should remove thier SVT emblem?

[Raven34]

I'm back and forth over the svt issue. I think that emblem looks awesome but the svt/non svt issue has me leanin away from it.
I think it'd be cool if someone could do an emblem similar to this one below with marauder written in instead of high performance, or maybe marauder in the middle like the svt ones. http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=4.6+emblem&qpvt=4.6+emblem&FORM=Z7FD#focal=a92a771adaa603 12bfaa3602d8306d1c&furl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.myhotmus tang.com%2FproductImages_thumb BIG%2F12420848953804108.jpg

And if you let air out of your tires you should take the Mercury emblem off?

We have reached a point in our society that we argue that a car that is not SVT is SVT? Reality is whatever you want it to be.;) And if you can convince others that is what reality is you are elected to office.:banana2:

I have a Cobra Long Block Reman. Since the original was built by SVT can I put an SVT badge or a Cobra badge?

But the reman althoug done by Ford was not done by SVT. Can I put a Reman SVT badge?

Can he make a Reman SVT badge.

My wife has a Honda Pilot, although it is alomst paid for could I put a Honda SVT badge on it? It has a 3.5 V-6, didn't the Contour SVT have a V-6?

Personally, I think the idea of an SVT Marauder badge is neat. There's a few guys with Cobra snake badging on their Marauders, and I kinda like that look, too.

That type of badging is subtle, but it gets the point across to anyone paying attention to detail that the badged vehicle has "lagniappe".... ;)

Hey. yeah, I guess it's OK to be a total poser/ricerish attention whore, .....

Well, what about the guys that have something to back up the badge?

[PonyUP]

Yes, I believe this is a knock at my Marauder because when I bought it it had a red "R" on the back that I inherited along with some stickers. Got the stickers removed, but wasn't able to get the "R" off though saw a post about trying fishing line, so I am going to give that a try when I have some time.

The SVT badge or Cobra Badge is not my taste, but when you pay money for a car, IMHO you can put on whatever you want.

[massacre]

It's not about "backing up the badge".

It's about calling your car something it's not, and wanting everyone else to know about it.

total rice.

Putting Shelby Cobra badges on a Pinto - does not make that Pinto a Shelby, no matter if it's jet-powered and can do 300MPH.
Shelby never made Pintos, and SVT never made Marauders.

All this does is create confusion:
"Yeah SVT did too make Marauders, I seen a guy with one. It said SVT right on it".
You get the idea.

Some of the same people who get pissed when someone with a CV/MGM wants to make a Marauder clone think it's perfectly OK to do the same thing to a MM, WTF?

Obviously opinions differ, and people are free to do as they wish to their own property. Just know that there are people who view this as a total joke and a huge bowl of rice.

I don't think there is anything wrong with adding anything SVT to our Marauders. As a matter of fact, I swapped out the ugly center caps in the wheels for a set of SVT caps and everyone that has seen the change prefers it since the Black backgroung and silver letters compliment the Black car and polished wheels of the Marauder.
