"Attitude is what it's all about !!" No argument from me.

I thought that the Stock Marauder made 302 HP @ 5750 RPM and 318 TQ @ 4300 RPM.

If there weren't two sitting in the driveway right now I'd be on my way out the door to get me a Marauder. :D

You're right Charlie. He may have been reading off the PP info charts. SVT also had no part in the car either according to Steve Babcock. If I recall correctly Roushe played a part in designing the intake, but the rest was all in-house.

Comments are funny. Ricer crowd gets so upset over how cool the MM is vs. their turd rockets. My MM makes me look and feel cool no matter what its performance. Their turd rockets just makes them look like a piece of undigested corn.:cool:

Just one really ... But he hasn't met Sherman, DOOM, Defyant, or countless others who have made their Marauders what they should have been.

Yeah....it's fun to read their comments.

All those ricer boys get so mad when the Marauder gets props for being a badazz sedan 'with an attitude'..... that gets LOTS of attention!
They have to go home in their Camrys and Accords.....:depress:
with absolutely NO ONE looking at their BORING sedans.....:snore:

What the ricer crowd forgets to mention is that a basic v-6 Camaro or Mustang will blow their doors off and people do look occasionally at 6 banger Mustangs and Camaros.

How would a Marauder do from say a 25mph roll against an Accord?
