    Yeah the wheels, the stickers and the stance are silly, but other than that it looks clean and nice. I've seen MUCH worse

    That guy is a meat head pardon my French. All he knows how to do is bounce that car off the Rev limiter and claim 500hp, when my daily gapped him bus lengths.

    Doesn't live far from me, not sure what became of the car haven't seen it in a long while. It was for sale had about 150 km on the clock.

    Reader comments on youtube and here sum this up nicely, especially the vid with the headlamp out and the apparent blown motor. Marauder 'crossed the tracks' and its lifespan calculation is no longer on the auditor's charts. Soon to appear in a salvage yard near you.

    What's wrong with stock? I'd take stock over that broken heap any day.

    2 things I don't get, burn-outs, and free revving motors, both just a waist of resources and energy.
