Marauder Legends

[Phrog_gunner]

Kind of like urban legends, but about MMs.


I was in the FLAPS and getting the filter number for Maybellene and the guy said he thought MM's all came stock with a V-12.

I'm sure others have heard some good ones, care to share?

Thanks to Trilogy's clean looking setup a lot of people think all MM came with Eaton's

Best one I've heard is that they are fast from the factory

I was just telling my friend the other day that I'm glad most people believe the myth about this car more than they do the reality, keeps the illusion alive.

I get that one most of the time if they know what a Marauder is. Of course I don't tell them otherwise.

Well it's faster than the '00 crown vic we had and it's the first car we ever had that we could do a smoky burn-out in.

Truth in that Eric! Even stock, I had no issue at all wearing out rear tires! With the brake pedal though.

That's the comment most people use in my experience. Even when it was brand new in 04.

I was asked often: "Are you a cop?"

The car came from the factory "detuned" and this caused a severe lack of low end torque, however once the engine hit about 3500 rpm's bonestock it was very strong, with strong acceleration from about 20 mph.

The very first thing I changed in my car was the "tune" no parts whatsover were involved, just the "instructions" the OEM's parts recieved were changed. It became a 14.5-97 mph 1/4 mile car at the track exactly as I purchased the car.

I believe a car that size and weight would qualify as fast with those numbers. By the way using the brake to smoke the tires was no longer necessary at that point.

When I was at the auto parts store the counter man said "OH Yeah" I know what that is. A Marauder "thats a wolf in sheep's clothing!

I've heard:
1. The Marauder was issued exclusively to law enforcement, and when they go to auction, the "cop chip" is removed. (heard this one several times for some reason)
2. Marauders were supercharged from the factory.
3. Marauders came with the 5.0 (or 5.4, depending on who you talk to).
