    Welcome to the MM.Net, Vortex !!!

    I'd be interested in why you chose to dump the GTO for a Marauder?

    Welcome to the board and congrats on your new purchase. You will love this car even more. There are many, many mods for it that will make it a GTO killer. By the way, you got the right color too.

    The only problem I had with the GTO was the size of the interior and trunk. It was a great car and a totally different experience from the MM. After driving both I have to say the GTO seemed much quicker and had better handling but the price was an interior the size of a Camaro. Just too many times over the past few months Ive had to pick up parents ect... and just couldnt do it the the GTO. Couldnt fit one suitcase in the trunk. Love my new MM, Im a big guy, a bit older and think the car suits me better.

    yep, practicality is a big part of MM ownership, it offeres a lot for the price. I'm sure the GTO is a great car, just too small for me and not my taste.

    Welcome Vortex!

    A few mods and you'll see how the Marauder should have come from the factory

    I'm 6'6" and 240lbs....so I know what you mean about the size and practicality.
