No its not! It was on the dyno for its last pull and it encountered a tranny problem. Parts will be here for It this week. Should hit the streets next week and I am keeping my fingers crossed! After the transmission goes back in it goes out for a driveability test and final adjustments. Trying to stay cool while waiting!

Ok it has made a couple of trips down the road now. Paul says most everything appears to be good except for one very major problem. It is eating the tires like a kid with a big bag of M & Ms! It has traction issues at 100 mph as it will break the tires loose. So back to the drawing board on new tires that will stick on the street.

Nitto 305/35/18s seem to hold up pretty well (unless they are cold, then watch out!).
What size wheels can you put on the beast? I think the Marauder can only take a 9.5 inch wheel.
Great job on your car. Hope you get your tire issue worked out. I'll be lookig forward to see you & your car at SSH8
