It started when i took out the car for a lil cleaning and on the way to thecar wash along side me pulls an imitator (nice lookin car) monte carlo.Inside were 2 kids looking and pointing at my car .Soooo light changes i let the car jump ahead (maybe his front tire to my front) then i stepped on it and it was bye bye imitator.

Then i was on 95 around the airport in philly heading northbound when a black jeep srt-8 flys up and slows down for me .I have cruise set @ 65 (so all can look and see it:coolman: ) he/she (dark windows) pulls along side me front to front(musta thought i was stock) so i turn off cruise and o/d button well they heard the car down shift and they hit it well i hit it too and man that car shot like a rocket and by 1 second that jeep was 4 cars behind..

Sometimes it has it's moods and some goofey things going on with it ,but she has never ever so far back down from a race.1BMF:up:

Just wanted to share..

You must be running with mods? That Jeep SRT8 is no slug. I did a little "spirited" driving Friday evening on one of the interstates here doing about 80 when up pulls a Cadillac CTS, maybe an 05 or 06. He takes off and so do I. At this point speeds are fast approaching the 100+ mark. I am pulling away and then the rev limiter kicks in. That is the first time anything has come that close. It still bothers me that I couldn't spank him but it was only because of the rev limiter because before it kicked in I was pulling away steadily. As soon as the wife and finances allow I am going to get a tune. I am having the Granatelli COP's installed this weekend. I purchased these about 4 months ago and tried to have a local shop install them. When I picked the car up It ran like crap, returned and they said they did everything correct. Long story short I had them removed and returned to vendor. Vendor said nothing was wrong with them. The new ones have been on backorder all this time. The reason I bought the coils instead of a tune was because when I bought the car they had to replace one of the coils and I figured they might give me trouble when the car is out of warranty

His Marauder is probably running the same HP only the Marauder is running it

at the rear wheels as opposed to the factory advertised flywheel HP

the Jeep is running. Plus, the Jeep has AWD; another

power robber. :)

You know Mark, that is exactly what makes modding our Marauders worth every penny. I never get tired of hearing posts like yours. It builds serious repsect with any car that challenges an S/C Marauder. WTG:D
