As four-door sedans go, this is about as good as it gets in terms of horsepower for the dollar; the Marauder offers 302 ponies for approximately $35,000. Mercury officials are honest about the target market: enthusiast drivers, many of them people who either own or have thought about owning a '94-'96 Chevrolet Impala SS with its Corvette-derived 5.7-liter V8.

Dick Cupka was the chief program engineer for the Marauder, as well as a key player in the development of the Lincoln LS. Both cars are V8-powered sedans. When asked which one he likes better, Dick replied, "Certainly, the Lincoln is smaller and handles better. But which one makes my heart beat faster? It's this one right here," he exclaimed while pointing to a parked Marauder.

He was certainly right.
I've driven the Lincoln LS, nice car but no where near the Marauder (very compact driver space too), and if it does handle better, it isn't by much.
