Finally saw a commercial for the LS over the weekend. Lincoln claims 0-60 in 6.4 seconds for the V-8. If I remember correctly, that's the same V-8 as in the TBird. For '03 the HP is up from 250 to 280.

Also, didn't Mercury originally claim 0-60 in "less than 6.5 seconds" for the Marauder?

It's a smaller, lighter car - sure. But I'm with Sarge on this one. Even with just my low budget Reinhart mods I fear no Lincoln. Or Honda for that matter.

For those of you with a 00-02 LS, you should feel the difference in the 03, it really drives a lot different, more powerful....

SHHHHH!:banned:

Man I'm glad the wife wasn't reading along......DAMN man, you nearly cost me.........a shat load of money. She doesn't need to know about these "new ones". I am quite content with upgrading rings and such....not Lincolns!

I sold the tractor.....bought her a 3-stoner, and not only had enough cash left over for a 4:10 install, but now I get NO GRIEF over the next mod!

Next Friday....ROAD TRIP!!! :banana:

And Happy Mother's day to all.
 
We test drove an 03 LS V8 to compare it to the Marauder. My wife liked the "luxury" touches, but in the end we both decided it was too small, too expensive, too soft, and too slow. We bought the blue Marauder instead and haven't regretted the decision. :D

Lay off the Kid, he said what was on my mind, and I am sure many others here as well. I'm speaking for myself now.

This last May 10th was the 1st anniversary of the MM's debut. It's officially one year old, and many of us here paid full price for our MM. I did, and I'm not griping

If you want to come join us and share in the fun of owning one great car, you're welcome to hang.

Personally, I don't believe you either. Any MM for 19K isn't new, or, in good health, and now, I could care less on the facts.

Maybe you think I'm being rude to you here, but you asked for it.

First of all I have been reading these boards for a few months so my post count really has nothing to do with anything, just because I havn't posted, doesn't mean I havn't browsed the boards, everyone started with 0 posts.

I posted a general statement saying it was an awesome deal, even to awesome for me to believe at first, that's why I don't think its wrong of you all to doubt what I say. How it started was I was at my lincoln/mercury dealer, and they had a dealer demo for $23k in the showroom, I talked to my salesmen (who I got my current LS off of), and he told me right then and there If I wanted I could have a brand new marauder for $23k+tax. Believe it or not, doesn't matter. Than I spoke to my buddy mentioning the deal I was offered, and he told me that he was able to get it even cheaper, I asked how much, he told, I said no way, we argued back and forth, until he showed me it than I was a believer.

I use the board to gain valueable info, if I happen to share something, then don't attack me for it. I was hoping if I wound up with a Marauder, I would have a board to come to. Doubt me or not, it's not gonna change anything.

Sorry If I said anything that offended you, let this thread die.

See? This is EXACTLY why I don't respond to threads that ask how much I paid for something...it's no one's G.D. business...and it leads to pi$$ing contests...

Lson: If you really and truly can get a NEW Marauder for $19k, God bless you...but maybe instead of keeping it a secret, you might share HOW you managed it, for the benefit of any future owners here?

Well I've certainly learned to keep my mouth shut from now on... no one believes of the deal, so I will just keep it for myself, if I decide on it, I will be sure to make a post ;)
 
We already have one so what's the point? You get one,enjoy the experience and come back, say hello and tell us if you can kick an LS's A-S!!!!!!!!!!
