Hey guys!

If i don't trade in my marauder for a 2011 5.0 mustang before this summer, I'm most likely getting a tune and 4.10s. For the guys that have them and live up north where the snow is....whats your opinion? too aggressive for winter driving?

4.10s work fine on trucks and SUVs

I drove a winter or two with 4.10's CAI, Tune and Nitrous.
You won't have any problems.

You'll be fine, just ease up when you're on ice/sleet.

What snow and ice I've seen this Winter it hasn't made much of a difference besides wanting to play around more. I also run dedicated snow tires in the winter.

And Marauders. If you know how to drive, no car is a problem. Just more challenging.

Amen brother. I think tires are the greatest factor for snow ice and frozen road driving.

+1, but you forgot the driver and skills.

Common sense is number one.

I've been winter driving my Marauder since I bought it 5 years ago. Now it has 4.10's, LT's, a Trilogy blower, and a 2800RPM stall converter w/ a lentech trans. The car's still perfectly sensible in the snow, just make sure you're running dedicated winter tires and turn your brain on while driving.

Drove the Marauder to a car dealership a week ago in a blizzard so a friend could order a 2012 Boss 302. Was almost 200miles round trip, saw over 10 trucks and SUV's upside down or on their side in the ditch as we drove by without a hint of a problem.
