    now in my new Home state of Florida

    Just arrived in my new home state of Florida,
    It was a long ride down from Connecticut and I didn't see any Marauders on the way down .
    A lot of cops gave me the once over tho .
    We left Wednesday morning around 10 am and arrived here in Jacksonville at 3pm April 13th.
    I remember doing this trip in One day what ever happen to those days.
    I have to tell you that Coming thru Washington was some pain in the butt.
    MY wife also drove her VW Beetle Conv down and we communicated by way of Walkie Talkies worked out great being able to talk back and forth She follow behind all the way I couldn't have done it
    The Marauder got 24 MPH with LTH and a SCT tune I was happy with that.
    The Drone I thought would get to me but it mellowed out I was running 2000 rpm most of the way at 70 mph. with 355 stock gears.
    First thing I did when I got here was take a shower put on some clean close (used the same ones for the past 3 days) and poured my self a glass of home made wine.
    Well we are glad we are here hope to make contact with the Florida group soon
    God Bless to all

    Lots of Marauders down here. The Florida Highway patrol had a bunch of them. They used to wave. You will like it here as Radar detectors are legal, unlike your former ****** state and the HP does not have instant-on radar. One has to be mostly unconcious or foolish to get a ticket in the sunshine state. oohrah. Welcome and have fun. Join up with the Sunshine State Marauders. They are a great bunch. Dennis
    GOD bless my friends, Paula, Cheese(Rex) and Alex and all those still with us.

    Welcome to Fla

    Congrats on the relocation. Be prepared for your blood to thin out, the sun here is addictive, but unforgiving if you take it for granted.

    Mo, The car ran great no Lights come on, and I like the tune 312 Hp rw like the midrange torque.
    When I get settled I'll send you the Dyno sheets.
    My thanks to you guys especially Jeff.
    My tuner Jeff at Danbury Chassis Dyno was very impressed also He had never done a Marauder before ( A Mustang guy) he really like the SCT Thanks for setting it up right.
    Hope to get up to Atlanta sometime .
