quoted from PoliceandSecurityNews.com
Unless you’ve been on a yearlong trek to conquer Mount Everest, you know that, earlier this year, Ford released the much awaited Marauder. This all black beauty features the four valves per cylinder engine, a host of innovations, and rides on 17" polished rims. It was a snap to drop this engine into an Interceptor since they share the same assembly line in St. Thomas, Canada.

Although this car was not in official competition, it was put through all the tests and it blew away everything on the course! With a top speed of 141 mph and the quickest acceleration of any vehicle tested this year, this may be Ford’s answer to the LT-1 Caprice.

Apperently,.. many people have been to Mt. Everest this year! haha! 17" rims huh? Well,.. at least they mentioned it! and I'm glad to hear it blew the doors off the competition!

Just got back from Mt. Everest and missed the first post.
Great news--if it happens in 2005. I'd love to see the 32v V-8 in the PI.
141 mph top speed. I wonder what driveshaft they used?

Thx Hack! Do you remember what size rim was on that Vic? Maybe that's why they mentioned 17" rims!

There is rumour that Ford may use the Panther Platform for a new Lincoln Mark series. They may have sudden new interest in keeping the Panther platform around and for future development

Maybe we could get Mercury to post a bill board at the MT.?

Thanks for the link it was "good" read.

They must have switched the tires?

Any way thanks again:)
