    GM sells out to Honda, but what about Ford?

    Slim, it is my understanding that the Escape Hybrid will feature an ultra clean version of the Duratec 23 2.3 litre I4 motor. Actually, Ford just got done putting it through it's paces in Manhatten, and they were able to average 38mpg driving for 37 hours on a single tank in one of the most...

    Argh... gasoline switcheroo at the pump

    In our region here, Shell changed the name of their 93 octane premium grade to V-Power. Some of the stations are charging a premium for it too as my local Shell station charges 22-23 cents per gallon more than regular for it.

    Acura Kill!

    While a lot of that ricer crap is really retarded, a lot of it is made right here in the USA. Believe it or not, those ricers are doing their part to help keep the economy rolling, and I respect them for that. I just wish they would wake up, smell the Folgers, and get some automotive sense...

    have you found rubberbands in your engine compartment

    Well, I had the transmission flushed and had the filter changed this morning to find a plastic ziptie sitting in the bottom of the transmission pan :confused:

    SCT PRO: chip versus flasher?

    Regardless of what some of the downsides to the tuner are, i'm simply sold it for the fact that you no longer need to molest your computer box. Even if a chip is faster, i'd rather leave the ECM box alone in case some service department at some dealer decides to get nosy one day.

    Yet another gasoline thread

    Now that was a good read. I just filled up here at the local BP station for $2.35 a gallon for a $37 fillup :( Oh well, I guess it's not a a bad thing that I got rid of my Discovery SUV for the Marauder.

    Saturn SL Is Most-Stolen Vehicle in U.S.

    People who steal cars are just really scummy. I personally would like to force a car theif to live in the interior of an Acura Integra for 4 months as their punishment. Of course, that would be considered very cruel......... I'll be happy as long as they stay away from our Marauders. Heck, even...

    What does it take (Part 2)

    If he does that, how will he log onto http://www.mercurymarauder.net to get his daily Marauder fix? We all lose it once in a while. Don't sweat it as I have lost it and embarrassed myself on other boards as well with my previous vehicles..............

    Ford loves the V-8 cash cow

    Now that's finally a good article on our panther platform cars. I cringed thinking this was another one of those articles written by clueless eco-freaks getting ready to bash my favorite car platform, but I enjoyed reading it. I had no idea that these cars were so profitable, but that's...

    Marauder - A man's car!

    I'm glad that we have some lovely ladies on this forum as every car community i've been associated with in the past has been all guys. It's great to have a diverse group of people interested in Marauders. As far as the new F150 goes, i've honestly seen more women driving them than guys. Maybe...

    Deja Vu? with the GTO.

    Hey, leave Celine alone! I don't see why so many people seem to dislike her. Sure she married someone that appears to be twice her age, but the important thing is that the love is there. Her singing voice is also very pretty. As far as Trey Parker goes, I had no idea he was a Canuck. You guys...

    Thanks Lidio for the Performance

    That's pretty impressive with the gears and chip. It makes it so much more tempting for me, although i'm going to opt for the tuner. I'm been dreaming of being able to line up next to another Marauder, but no such luck yet. Heck, Marauders are such a rare sight around here as I havn't seen one...

    Argh... gasoline switcheroo at the pump

    I can't really give you advice, but detonation(depending on how severe) will ruin a motor before you even realize it. The knock sensor should be able to pull back timing, but it can only pull back so much timing............

    Tuning

    Hi and welcome to the Marauder community. That's actually normal and as mentioned, a feature of the 32 valve DOHC V8 motor. It's a motor that generally isn't hot on low end torque, but creates hp at higher rpms. I agree that you should give Lidio a call at Alternative Auto, or Dennis a call at...

    Oh, No! Transmission Line Leak?

    Out of curiosity, what causes these leaks? Is it the line corroding and wearing, something coming loose, or something else?

    Deja Vu? with the GTO.

    The problem as I see it, is that the new GTO doesn't look like what you might expect the next generation GTO to look like. GM seems to have a serious problem with this, as they screw cars up a LOT by doing this. It looks like a cheap rental car, and that's bad since people in the market for a...
