Other drivers always want to race !!

[Horsepower]

Pretty simple folks , is it just me or does every other driver on the road want to race. My theory is because of the marauders look , most ppl ALWAYS think " my car is faster then that , let me drive irresponsibly and waste gas " .. Pointless

I got baited by an undercover charger over a year ago. I'm just glad I saw his blues before I hit the N2O. My finger was literally on the switch. :D Stay safe.

[LANDY]

nobody wants none in this town. lucky you

[IwantmyMMnow!]

I think it's the menacing look the MM has...people get scared and want to get away as quick as possible...or maybe it's the way I look...:lol:

[jdiding]

people just seem to get out of my way if i come up behind then

[justbob]

Almost every street light around here. Gets old real quick. I usually just ignore or worse yet laugh.

gee everyone around Detroit thinks it is grandpas car. I love my sleeper. Especially when kids in a ricer with a trash can sized expansion chamber try to take me at a light. Big fun to see the wheels spin in their heads as they try to figure how they are still behind the old guy in the four door.

[robertmee]

I dunno....I've noticed the opposite in my area. When I tool around in my GN, I get way more action. When I'm in the MM I get none. In 6 months of recent driving, I've been challenged once by anything reasonable (a mid 2000 mustang). Everyone else either doesn't know or doesn't care about a MM.

[AConvertedChevy]

With the AT2525's everyone stares and thinks about it, most give a thumbs up or head nods, few engage lol

[TAKEDOWN]

Most seem clueless that I'm in a MARAUDER.

Tangled with black 'blazer SS after class Saturday morning. We were trapped at a long light and got to talk about the vehicles, he wants a Marauder because they are "bad-ass", I wanted his vehicle because "it's faster stock", which surprised him. He said he had tune, intake, exhaust work. Told him I had intake and tune, he said he could hear me up ahead in traffic but couldn't figure out who it was until he saw Marauder on the back bumper, he didn't know they made blue ones, but he figured out the tag. It was cool, we flogged them a few times but traffic was light and getting heavier. It was mainly just stomping it, let off, other guy stomp it, let off, stomped it from a roll a few times. Fun stuff, probably best that we were not on a wide open stretch. I'm convinced if he hadn't known what a Marauder was, he would not have even wasted the gas clowning around. People who know what we have want to play, that's probably the best way to explain the Marauder.

[SC Cheesehead]

Not too much action for me. The GVL County cruisers are blue, so most everyone thinks I'm driving an unmarked deputy's car. ;)

Do have an occasional ricer that wants a go, but that generally changes real quick... :D

[boatmangc]

Mostly 2 lane roads where I live. Lucky for me, probably saves me a few bux.

[Blackmobile]

Had Camaro try me from a light last night. I could hear his car building up power from the light, but in that time span I could have been gone. But I don't street race, I was told not to, by a judge.

[Curless]

So far, nobody wants anything to do with ours....sad, when I was younger I could coax a race at any given time.

Just put the winders down and yell at the top of yer lungs "Who wants to race?!?" :D

I just put the winders down and yell at the top of my lungs "Who wants to race?!?" and everyone just laughs at me.

LOL. Where is the like button?

+2!:banana2: Ya beat me again Landy Hehehehe

[Blackened300a]

I had some dope in a Camry try to race me, he got next to me then matched my speed. I saw what he was up to so I blipped the throttle slightly to sound off the exhaust like I was planning on wasting my gas on this fool, he floored it then put his hazards on like he smoked me when I never went above 1/4 throttle. :shake:
This happened twice on the same stretch of road. I wonder if on some toyota forum there is a moron claiming he smoked a Marauder. :rolleyes:

[breeze]

Same here. Guess the Areos got them scared.lol

[Horsepower]

N
Same here. Guess the Areos got them scared.lol
If Godzilla was a brand of mufflers ,,== aero turbines lol
Whenever I do speed tho it's usually on open rode while I'm driving alone, late at night when no ones really out. I try not to endanger other ppl. The nastiness these cars have, has to be respected.

Google Marauder. I'm sure it would pop up some funny B.S. stories on various forums. Oops, nobody knows what that is, maybe wanna try CV or GM...

I was in, I'm a beat you lane where a Tundra wanted to go first cause the two lanes reduced into one after the intersection.
I lined up a full car plus behind and lost the jump.
Didn't matter, hooked at half way through the intersection leaving the Toyota all by it's lonesome.

[efi4eye]

Funny, but I never seem to get in any stoplight drags with anyone. Guess I don't pay as much attention to the guy next to me. The Mustang has only ever been challenged a couple times, always by other Mustangs on the highway. It's loud as $h@ with full 3" exhaust and a nasty cam so I guess it scares most off, even though it isn't quite as bad as most think. The Marauder gets more rubberneckers and looks than challenges so far, but I also don't prance around like it's the fastest car in the world, ha

[JOEMERC]

I like when the ricers try to get me to look their way so I can see that big fart can on the back of there toilet bowl they are driving but I act like there not there after a while they will just sped off and I just laugh.

[CWright]

After walking a 09 GT and a late 90's mustang (on 2 different days). The 09 GT wouldn't talk to me at the next light and stayed away in traffic. The late model Mustang sounded and looked like it had some mods. After walking his dog he pulled up and asked " what's that B.... Got in it?". I just smiled. :D

[88LTDCV351]

To me, it seems much more like everyone is just in a darn hurry these days and are a-holes on the road. In an age where even the grocery getters etc are 0 to 60 in such and such seconds, everyone takes chances and thinks they can squeeze into traffic or cut others off, etc. I'm all for performance vehicles...but I don't understand why the lady in the small econo car or the min-van or SUV etc. races after the light turns green and cuts me off even if I'm trying to beat soccer mom to the merge. A lot of road rage out there so go slow in most cases, be courteous out there and be safe.

Our Marauders stock sure ain't spring chickens by todays standards.

[slickster]

People speed up to me just to look at the car and what kind of person is driving it?. So far only 3 light races. V6 sho steady walked it. 99 gt modded neck and neck. Stock mm steady walked it

[88LTDCV351]

So tell me this, why do most base econo cars, econo mini-vans, econo SUVs need to have so much power these days? Just imagine the same power of the late 70s and 80s (when the everyday cars were slow as f.ck 140-150 horsepower just to get from A to B comfortably etc) with todays technology, the roads would be safer with people being more courteous and taking less chances and getting like gobs better gas mileage. I expect to be cutoff by a mustang, but not mini-van for goodness sake.

Goodness knows even a Prius got in the lane that was closing beside me to almost beat me to the merge.

Funny thing ... I live in the city so ppl do tend to drive erratic ... But some folks clearly make it noticeable that they want a piece of you.. Whether in a Eco or a neon. Bottom line your car looks like a champion. And ppl always want to challenge the champ.

[LOWBUCKMM]

I have had more street light races in my Volvo then my marauder. I just don't get why. It's a Volvo made for safety not racing. But I will say it is pretty quick. I have not lost yet.

That's because you are never out by me with it...

Where are you finding these people no body dares (although my car is super slow for now) racing me out here, I guess the Black look keeps them thinking I'm a cop..

[DOOM]

Showed a Cadillac CTS-V what marauder tail lights looked like today!

[TAKEDOWN]

^^^ I wonder if he went to the dealership and said his Caddy is broken!

[Chad1987]

Except for a couple of ricers in various Toyotas (V6 Solara & Scion TC) I've never had anyone try & race my Marauder. It goes without saying that the Marauder beat both Toyotas.

Now that doesn't sound like a bad matchup. Wish I was there to witness.
