listen to this thing!

[STLR FN]

Good grief that thing sounds mean as hell and I like. :drool:

[bryanthomas]

Sounds bad ass! But, uh.... might have been worth watching though if they actually drove the thing a few feet... :rolleyes:

I'm sure it puts down some sick power though.

[Cheeseheadbob]

No wonder why his driveway is cracked!

[blackf0rk]

No digg from me. He didn't drive it - l4m3

[1 Bad Merc]

Sounds like a freakin funny car! I'm sure his' neighbors love this car.

[Marauder]

Very Top-Fuel-ish. :D

[Ross]

I'll bet his wife says, "Isn't that thing a little loud, dear?"

[martyo]

That's what I call subtle! :D

[Shora]

Is it possible to make a marauder sound like that? I mean if, or better yet, when I have to replace my motor I really want to go with a set up like that. I don't need or want the spary, just good ol' displacement for the sound and torque.

For those in the know, when my engine fails, how hard would it be to replace the drive train with one of these old scool type systems?

I don't care about speed as much as reliability. The Marauder is a pleasure car for me and if it breaks down every other day it would take away from my overall enjoyment. No matter how much I enjoy driving a car, if it breaks down too often I feel somewhat betrayed. :o
Let me have it...

(Note: I obviously don't have the mechanical know-how as many of you but I do know what I like and this, or something similar, would be my dream set up.)

[RR|Suki]

I doubt an DOHC or OHC could sound like that... I imagine you'll need a pushrod motor to get that sound... High lifters aswell. Perhaps with the right heads the DOHC could sound that way though, I've just never heard such a thing

My thoughts exactly.....How 'Bout you DRIVE IT!!!!

I did not mean that I want to convert my DOHC for such a sound but rather to "replace" my DOHC with a pushrod (when and if the engine fails).

This would be my dream setup if it could be done for a reasonable price and with good reliability. If it costs more than a used Marauder then I would never entertain such a thought again.

I'll bet his wife says, "Isn't that thing a little loud, dear?"

And then he probably says, "What?"

[Leadfoot281]

Take the exhast manifold off a Suzuki Samuri. You'll be close. I did it.:D

[BK_GrandMarquis]

I guess it's just me then, I think it sounds like a popcorn popper. :)

That's definitely no sleeper.:lol:

[sweetair]

Yeah, what he ^^^^^^^said. You're not hiding anything here.

You could cam the MM. but the cost is around $1300 with very little bang for those bucks.

I just listened to that sound clip again, and that Vette sounds MEAN AS H#LL! Definitely a NASCAR sound.

Having acknowledeged how BADA$$ that thing sounds, I now wonder if it would really be that cool, for these reasons:

1: As several members have commented....You are NOT fooling anyone!
2: NO ONE will race you except a 'tard in a riced 17sec 4 door Honda.
3: If you don't run lowwww 11s minimum, everyone will say that the car is lame.
4: Driving it for an extended period of time would cause temporary hearing loss.
5: The local law enforcement will take a VERY keen interest in your car.
6: I hope that it doesn't have to pass emissions testing.
7: My 427 Cobra sounds MUCH better!!! ...nothing like 468 cubic inches of heavily cammed, solid lifter FE exiting through open side pipes!!!:D :D :D

I wish you never posted this. Now I can't stop thinking about putting a cam in my Z06. I avoided looking at such posts on the Corvetteforum so I would not be tempted.
