Yes, but knowing Chrysler's past quality control problems, the real question is: "Sure it looks like a $100,000 Mercedes, but will this thing really hold up better than that $9000 Kia Sephia over at the Kia dealership?"

LOL! I personally think i'm more of a cautious type of person, but my friends and family will swear that they think i'm getting way too radical and too much of a thrill seeker. I agree that a balance is definately important as well, since fear will help keep a thrill seeker in line. Like I said...

It doesn't seem like supply is the biggest issue at this time, more than the ability to refine it into the 13 million different formulations required all across the 13 million different regions in our country. Environmentalists are actually a huge chunk of the problem. Not only do they protest...

Sounds like you had a lot more interesting of a day than I did. It's always nice to see old classic cars that are in good shape. I wonder what kind of gas mileage you get in a 68 Marauder with the 390?

Out of curiosity, is anyone running Redline here? There was a test done a couple years ago(can't remember which magazine) using an LS1 C5 Vette, and they dyno'd more power after they switched the rear end gear lube along with the engine oil to Redline. Redline uses a fully poly-ether basestock...

Out of curiosity, wouldn't a 170degree thermostat be a bit too cold for our engine? Running a 180 degree thermostat may not be a big different from the 188 degree stock one, but 170 is a huge jump. Your car will be running richer, and let's not forget running that cold can decrease engine life...

I believe the Cobra pump you are talking about is the unit that was actually used on the Cobra R that has lighter weight aluminum impeller design which reduces parasitic loss of about 5hp or so. If you go with a larger stock like water pump, that may also cost a few more hp by causing larger...

If your car idled like that right after a coldstart, that would be normal. However, the idle speed should slow down fairly quickly as the engine warms up. Mine idles at around 700-750rpms when parked or in neutral, and 500-600 when idling with the transmission in drive. If your dealer told you...

I will have to do that someday. Unfortunately, Texas is like a good 20-30 hour drive for me. I wish I knew how I started getting interested in weather, but it's just something that really interests me like driving Marauder's............

Kinda sounds like a local lady who bought a BMW 3 Series and never changed the oil for 40k miles. At 40k miles, the engine siezed and she threatened to sue the dealership saying that such an expensive car should never need to have it's oil changed............... People who neglect to maintain...

I would be a little lighter on that guy, since I don't think it's fair to judge someone who we have never seen, or talked with. We can have our assumptions, but we can also never come up with assumptions that may paint a negative picture of someone who may be a very good person. Unless someone's...

Maybe it's the fact that I don't have a motorcycle yet, but I would be afraid to ride a motorcycle like that. When I finally get a motorcycle in the future, I would like it more as a cruiser to take leisurely cruises in the countryside, than to tear up the local streets. With a car, you at least...

Yeah, but what happens when he hits something we call "buyers' remorse?" Credit Cards at 20-25% interest has got to be depressing.............

My schedule is pretty hectic, but I may be able to make it for the drag strip evening Friday night. I won't be able to be there for the rest of the event though............

Among all of the chaos, I assume the Marauder was nice and protected in the garage, right? I am a weather enthusiast, and it sounds like that storm was something I would have loved to experience. The hail would not have been fun though :( Honestly, i'm still waiting for our first severe storm...

Hell, I may have to start coming by your house and start drooling over your toys! While i'm undecided on how to start modding my Marauder, i'm just too much of a chicken to give nitrous a try............ Dennis the Menace was absolutely one of my favorite shows when I was a kid! These days...

Yeah, but the unfortunate thing is that there is no replacement for displacement. When you are running 10 cylinders with 8.3 litres of displacement, it is just insane what the possibilities are if you supercharge that thing. I wonder what kind of gas mileage those things get..............

Hmm, I had no idea that the CV/GM had a different frame than the Marauder, but you do learn something new everyday. To be honest, I don't think it's fair to call Marauderrrr a troll, as he's just a little disappointed. Unfortunately, I think BillyGMan makes a good point and that doing a...

It looks like they arn't interested in making a kit for the Marauder, since I don't see it on the list of vehicles they are interested in.

I never understood why some people feel they need to make their motorcycle so loud. Sometimes I wonder whether their hearing is going to be negatively affected by that much noise. I personally like Harley's because of how they sound, and how they look. They just look so darn awesome.........
