Congrats on the new Marauder. I can't wait to be in the same shoes as you. It looks like it will be early 2004 before I will get mine. Not soon enough if you ask me.

I think that several things happen (mine currently has about 10,500 miles on it):

1. You get used to how the car performs and where the optimum points are (esp. for shifts).
2. The car and its computer get used to you and your driving style.

Anyway, so far, mine likes me, and I like it a heck of a lot.

:coolman:

enjoy the car, also what comes with time is you notice your car becomming slower because you are used to it.. soon after the mods follow... first the chips..gear..stats..and plugs.. then supercharger.. before you know it youre in for a long haul.. and its FUN! enjoy

Aftewr 7,800 miles-- with current mods--wife says last Sundaywhile going up on rampo to interstate passing two cars---"how come that wans't faster"--( with thoughts of a S/C in future) I responded .."yeah --you'd think with what we got in her already she would have done better"---( trying to plant the "need"-Oh yeah- for a S/C from the VP) and the wife replies---==="yeah sounds like a super whatever --thats faster --right? - might be it!"

SO --looks like the "confince" part hasd been completed--now on to the other part---oh yeah--after 7800 miles --feels like 78 to me--G R E A T !

Have almost 9000 miles on my garage queen.Since the flash it's like another more potent car,the one I think Mercury intended on making!

Then after she approves the "needed" parts you can take the small block out from under the gas pedal that keeps it from reaching full throttle....hehe........

Should hit 38K by the end of the week, still at least as good as the first 350 miles, probably better.

Marauderman, can I get your wife to call and have a talk with my wife about that supercharger issue?
