Modern Racer Review at Pocono Raceway?

[2003Marauder]

Surfing the Internet for anything on the 2005 Supercharged MM during lunch and ran across this review. Did a search of our website and did not find a reference. I think it's a good review of the MM.

I found this review after reading about the 2004 SuperCharged v-6 Impala SS and at the bottom they had the MM listed as a competitor. Not sure that I agree with the list of Competitive Vehicles. But nice to see that if someone is interested in the SuperCharged 2004 Impala SS they refer them to the MM.

Why is "Huge grippy tires makes for a predictable drive on a track" a con in that review? Maybe he'd prefer unpredictable?

I do think those car review guys prefer unpredictable. They probably prefer their women that way too.

I am starting to look at replacement cars for my 1996 Tbird as I have had it for nearly 8 years and may replace it next year. Wife really doesn't want two Marauders and I can't fit two MM in our garage. Idea is to get a smaller SuperCharged vehicle like the Impala SS, let the wife drive it, and I'd get the '04 MM.
Anyway, sticker price for an Impala SS like I'd buy is nearly $33,000.00!!!!!!
I figured it would be around $27,000.00 max!!!
At $33,000.00 it makes no sense to buy the Impala when I can get another Marauder for almost the same price.

I guess I could take out the storage shelves in the garage and make room for a 2005 Factory Supercharged Marauder.
Maybe Mercury will build some for 2005 since Chevy is putting the SuperCharger on the '04 Impala.

Now I understand why the modern racer review listed the MM as a competitve vehicle for the Impala SS
