its a lot easier when your car doesnt weigh 4250lbs (about4500 with me in it), which is why these are not good track cars.

True our style comes with a weight penalty but my point was with the better to weight to power ratio out there the Marauder isn't going anywhere, cant replace good looks;). Also to give a little credit where credit is due, those times on stock power train is no joke

That an amazing power for the stock engine, I agree with how long will it last.

My mach weighs in at 3060 lbs with 1/8th of a tank of gas and in race trim... I want THAT drivetrain in it though... Those new mustangs aren't exactly ballerinas, they're pretty heavy for what they are too... I can just imagine dropping another 600ish lbs...

Actually, I'll be happy with just the auto tranny for the marauder... 4.17 1st gear would work wonders to moving our yahts off the line :D

3658 with the automatic... Add in a blower vs the plastic intake, intercooler, piping, etc... that thing will push 3800 lbs...

They are a bit heavier than the 2010s, which are a bit heavier than the 05s, which are heavier than the new edges, which are heavier than the sn95s, which are heavier than foxes... Thank god they're not as porky as the camaro/challenger though :) Challengers at least are huge for a 2 door...
