Really cool, but why pick an underpass to do it? Did you want the echo effect? Just curious.

Yup. For acoustics.

We need to see a 0-100 mph blast through the gears from a dead stop!

1: Clutch in
2: Rev engine to 3,500 rpm
3: Dump clutch quickly
4: :burn:

Because cars should work for their drivers...not the other way around. ;)

Aside from the motorsport of drifting and the situations where one just really wants the feeling of rowing the gears, I'd argue there's not really a need for a full-manual transmission especially with the speed of automatics these days.


That being said though, I absolutely love the feeling of rowing gears and I wish my MM was stick more than I could ever wish it was S/C. :D

Downshifting through curves to keep the rpm's in the sweet spot and powering out of them is the greatest feeling in the world! (well, almost)

Love it!!!!! If mine wasn't a DD I too would do that before boost, but 70 miles of stop and go city traffic is not fun with a stick.

Once it's off the road though I want the viper spec tremec installed. Always wondered about clutch pedal location and interference with the ebrake pedal. Can you post a couple picks of your pedals?

yeh its good another big car lover got it.

heres a pic i got of the pedals, when i welded everything back togther i moved the pads away from each other as much i could and also shortend the clutch pedal about 3 inches or so. cant wait to get a marauder in a few years so i can do it all over again:)

I sold my T56 stuff a last week after giving it a 3 month chance of me liking it. NOT A CHANCE!

TH400 has been ordered, and its getting a GV Overdrive unit to make it a 6 speed. :beer:

Not nearly as much as I used to. Honestly, even since the car started giving me rather frequent problems, I've tried to go very easy on it. For a few weeks I even drove so that the car would never exceed 2000RPM except when on the highway (impossible otherwise), and that's actually a REALLY tough thing to do. I dunno, I love the hell out of my car, but I don't think of it like I used to: when I first got it and was still learning a lot, I wanted it to be this beast machine that I could always wring out on command and be the fastest on the street. Since then though I've grown and I look at it more as the car that I absolutely LOVE being able to drive and that I absolutely want to preserve to keep it for decades to come.

TL;DR: I love the car as a performance machine, but if I want to go wild in raw straight line power or edge-of-my-seat twisties action, I'm gonna look elsewhere and just enjoy the fact that I have a Marauder. :)
