Can you give us a little more in the way of specfics? Who's car? Where was the feature done? When? Color of MM? At least something to point us in the right direction on this. ;) Even plates on the car might help.
Nothing in here (still March 2009 issue info) >>>>> http://www.mustangandfords.com/index.html

Tamien hinted towards this in another thread, he said that it was a members car from Canada, that's all he said...... He said he'd let him spill the beans when the time came.

Yes folks, that is Gary's car. He works at a dealership in Ontario, and had some work done to it at DaSilva's. An editor was talking to DaSilva while the MM was there, and was basically looking for a non-Mustang car to feature. There sat the MM, and the rest is history!

BTW, Gary wasn't going to say anything about the article because he thought it might seem like he was bragging. How "Canadian" is that, eh?:D

Yes, but I can't remember his variation of spelling "Marauder" that is his user name.

DaSilva's does excellent work. I need to cruise by there, it's been awhile. Perhaps I can meet up with Gary? :confused:

It is quite a long article as well. Should be a good read when I get the time.

Oh, all right already. Yes, Taemian is right, I didn't want to toot my own horn,:o but thanks for all the positive input I've received on this. I was surprised when I was asked about having the car put in, but it's cool, none the less. There was talk about putting the dyno chart in, but I guess space was limited that it couldn't be done (at least I have it for myself). It seems it's only made it to subscribers so far as I haven't seen in on the shelves yet. Probably in the next week or two?
It is good to see that the MM's are finally getting their due recognition.

Congrats! It is great to see 2 members with great rides in 2 different mags with feature stories! And to think how excited we used to get to catch a glimpse of a Marauder in a picture

Can someone scan and post the artical?
Got the April issue with MarauderTJA, now to find the other mag. Borders didn't have it. Now I've got NAVCHAP's car in a mag, TJA's, and mine in the newspaper. Any others we've missed?

Marawder,
Friend of mine photocopied the article for me. I'm curious as to why there was no AFTER drag strip runs mentioned with the results compared to the Before nbrs. Can you enlighten all of us here?
Thanks,

The dragstrip numbers mentioned in the article were taken by the author when the MM's first came out - they are not my numbers. Huw speaks of running against a 94/96-vintage Impala SS. I have not run my MM at the track, but hope to do so at either Cayuga or St Thomas some time this summer, just to get an idea of what it'll run with the changes I've made. I would have liked to get a baseline e.t. to have something to compare to, but I only have the dyno pulls to date. I'm more into roadracing, open-track events, where the MM really shined at Mosport last summer for a big car. Once I get the new brakes in, and with the changes I've made, I hope to see a 2-3 second drop in lap times. I'll know in June when the next event comes up.
Which reminds me - Wednesday June 17 is the next Mustangs at Mosport On-Track event, and any MM owners are welcome to attend. Figure $195 for the day, or about 2-1/2 hrs of track time.

Hey Gary, I just picked up the April issue. Nice article. I felt like I was looking at my own car. What other mods have you done since or are planning? And curious...where was the "custom SCT tune" from? was it a Lidio or DR tune?

No other changes to the car since the article. The tune was done by DaSilva Racing. Diego worked everything off the laptop while I was there. We took the car for a drive to make sure the drivability was the way I wanted it. He could have tweaked it to put out another 5-10hp and 10-15lb-ft, but I wanted to keep the car in a 'safe' zone so I wouldn't have any problems since I do drive it every day (120+km for the commute). The shift quality is good and not harsh, so it's not a problem on a family outing.
