Don't forget the 4.10 gears or the tune. Stryker74 had nearly the same mods, and ran similar times. It seems that gears and tune helps them... with the lack of low end torque, like I stated that they have a problem with. Again, stock, Marauders are AT BEST low 15s. You simply cannot find ANY proof to show otherwise. Do I need to define 'stock' for you?

When my Marauder was stock my best time (and only) run time was 15.45. The main reason I did the mods was that it had a terrible delay between shifts and when you'd hammer it you could count to 2 (not 2 mississippi, just 1,2) before it would launch. I did all the mods at once so I don't know how much each piece did but gears and the new program was the bulk of it.
Mind you my best time was 14.3 and my average was about 14.6, when I was bracket racing I would dial in at 14.7 and did very well.
I liked the car but its build quality was something terrible. I could not roll up all four windows at once (not enough juice), interior stuff broke all the time and eventually the rear end exploded, the driveshaft fell off and polevaulted the rear end. (yes I know I drove the car hard, but she was very well maintained) This is after 34,000 miles and a grand total of 9 1/4 mile passes. (not a Ford hater, just my experience)
At that point I just gave up and bought a Charger SRT8 and later my SS.

I hear you on the issues. I have yet to hear of a single manufactured vehicle that doesn't have problems somewhere down the line. All windows at once problem seems to be with every PW vehicle I'ved owned, so I know what you mean there.

Good, now that I'm childish and pathetic, maybe I'll hit this home a little harder for you:

@ your poor attempt to show proof...great job on posting PAGE SEVEN.....PAGE six NOR seven has mod's, track, or DA listed.....HOLY CRAP..you're dumber than I imagined. ROFL....that's almost as bad as 'we lined them up at the dealership and it proved what magazine's have reported'. But hey, at least it's a link right?
ANd that kids, is why you shouldnt' smoke crack.
