Wow, i think thats a good opening statement. Theres a lot of stuff there and everyone that cant make it..... your missing out. Sorry to tell it like that but with everything I saw toda...y. wow. You might be wondering how I got in... well thats easy.... the back door =) It took forever and a day ( 45 minutes) to find the Marauders.

The Following is my own personal critique of my own personal observations. Please do not take offense to anything I say,after all what do I know. Please do not edit this post as I still have free speach rights. Thank you.

Pauls Performance Marauder- Damn , this is the one with the 6 speed. Beautiful machine. wheels look awsome. THe grill conversely doesnt shake my tailfeather. Its TOO shiny and the honeycombs are TOO small. The headlights , well they are basically all blacked out minus 2 holes over each one and they are jsut differnet, maybe when i go back tomrrow I will like them more.the KVR front brakes look awsome. as do the reinhart rear brakes. O one of the best features is the louvered hood, WOW thats , i'd buy one =) They call this the street stalker for a reason. The mercury emblems on the side dont look bad, they have lines or "cuts" running toward the back of the car and it is a nice touch. I wish I could have jacked this thing up and taken a look under neath.

Jerry Barnes/ Trilogy Marauder- Hummina Humina Humina . First let me say Jerry has some awsome kids that were EXTREMELY firendly and helpfull. When I got to the booth his daughter introduced herself and we had a charming conversation. Unfortunately Mr. Barnes was out finding seats when I arrived and I was pressed on time so i had to disembark. ok now for the car. The front and rear fascia are all that and a bag of chips , its really well done, Crisp and Clean describe this car well. Its always nice to walk up to a show car an see the exact same interior as the car you drive, its a strange sense of faimiliarity. Under the hood the car is just as exciting with 390 RWHP and 345 RWTQ this thing hauls alot of a$$. Ok ive written alot here and im tired so off to sleep. P

Too bad you didn't get to talk to Jerry. He is a really nice guy and really loves the MM. His company has done a real nice job on that car. By the way, that is the same car that ran 12.4 in Tenn this year. How do like those widen wheels all the way around?

Wide? Wide is an understatement . THe wheel and tire combo looks like a dream. I can ponly imagine how that car handles... like the commercial says wider is better
