Well coming home from work last night and I spot a Cadillac CTS-V LSx non-SC variant. I pass and notice an older gentleman in a dress shirt and think to my self no go. Anyhow he must have heard the Corsa exhaust as I pass him because he pulls right behind me at the light. As the light turns I give it a little gas to clear the car next to me and I see his front end lift so I mash the go pedal and he never could pass and as he shifted I would build a lead of up to a 1.5 car length lead. He gives a thumbs up as he turns off....not all black taxi cabs with black rims are easy prey:D

Dynocon. Yeah my tuner backed the timing down since builder pulled the knock sensors. 331/380 on 91 oct. 22 degrees. longtubes are worth 30-40hp. I may have it done again with the sensors installed and longtubes shooting for 370/390 oh wait I live in Cali i cant! I am looking to do a Vortech SC V2 S-trim then upgrading the head unit to a T-trim to keep the CARB EO#. also, this is a auto trans as well being a 4200lb brick.

Thanks guys! A real sleeper lots of folks have the look of "what is that" until they see the "Black chrome Marauder" in the rear bumper;) very fun.

Sinister Sleeper

Thanks guys I much rather drive the Marauder than my 2006 Mustang GT for sure.

Here is my youtube channel: sohc281 - YouTube

GodSpeed Omega Deep Dish Black Matte rims 20x9 on Nitto NT05 255/35/20 front 20x10 on Nitto NT05 315/35/20 out back

And notice the Mercury God Head center cap from the stock rims fit like it was meant to be!

Badass, always loved those cars. I would think the motor would put out more power, but I'm sure with the blower it will be a killer street sleeper.

Remember an Auto Mach 1 makes 270-280rwhp while the same power train in the Marauder will make 230-240rwhp; difference being 4200lbs.

So far Ive managed 331/375rwhp (91oct) with no knock sensor so conceivable I could make 340s/380s on this same setup with the sensors (tuner prefers) which would be 100rwhp/120rwtq (more with 93 octane) over a stock Marauder. I know a similar setup in a 98 Cobra making 405/400tq. Then long tubes on the Marauders are worth 40-50rwhp no lie simply because of the manifolds and 2.25" piping from the cats to the H pipe. The highest recorded big bore stroker setup in a Marauder was 368rqhp/378rwtq with alot more work done to it on 9.5:1cr.

Nice kill. I've always liked those Marauder, and yours is bad ass looking.

Thanks the blacked out deep dish rims really set off the sinister look for sure.

I've always wanted a Marauder. Nice kill

Thanks! I usually dine on Bavarian muscle or HEMI's.

loooove those cars, not a fan of the wheels but everything else is awesome

Thanks, the wheels look better in person. the Godspeeds look odd in pics because how deep the lips are.

I love the 315s out back too...

I definitely agree.. I'd love to get a Marauder for a daily driver

Lots of Supercharged Marauders for sale right now!

Marauders for Sale - MercuryMarauder.net Forums

LOVE IT. :rockon:

I love surprising the unsuspecting HEMI and Bavarian muscle...the best part of owning one of these.
