WOW! There's a treasure trove of stuff there. The VT article is interesting, but a stroked and blown Marauder (hahaha that's just funny) could only muster 13.4 @ 104? This board is proof positive that ain't right...

Look at what Kenny Bell advertised as the time on the Marauder S. They don't want to scare people with the REAL times. :) I run a 14 flat, and I don't have a blower.

They don't want to scare people with the REAL times. :) I run a 14 flat, and I don't have a blower.I can understand the manufacturer publishing slower times... Somewhat. But an aftermarket "tuner" (I'm not a fan of that term - it makes me think of TunerTransformation)

Maybe there are a couple of potential buyers who would say, "Naw, that's just too quick for me." But really, if they're going to shy away from power, they probably shouldn't have a high HP car, anyway. Whether it's whether it's 400, or 500, it's obviously too much for that person. Then there's everyone else that looks at this says "$30K over sticker for mid-13's? I'll pass, thank you..."

PS - They can keep these wheels... Stockers look too damn good to get rid of!

The webmaster and founder, (NEV), has kindly offered the original hi-res (SCANNED) image as posted above. He found it in an automotive magazine back when L/M was actually making the minimalist effort to advertise. Someone at Ford L/M must have the original artwork. Come on Ford employees...pull some strings and locate it!!!

He wishes to express his gratitude for our compliments regarding his site, and to pass on his liking of ours as well.

I will get the image out to everyone in a mass mailing when it arrives. :up:

I don't about you guys....but if it's good enough...I'm off to kinkos.

I'd be curious to hear it. The '94-'96 Impala SS did sell very well.

That is the first article that I recall reading about the Marauder. And they are the only mag to get a sub 7 second 0-60 time.

[CRUZTAKER]

I have started a new thread (with an appropriate title) regarding this artwork. ;)

Thanks for finding this site Defyant, and thanks to webmaster Nev for hooking us up.
