To All Members..

A head to head challenge has been made by MarauderTJA to race a Trilogy equipped vehicle at Bradenton Speedway in FL.

MarauderTJA has a stock MM equipped with a Procharger blower, 4:10 gears, and 2 after market mufflers.

No other mods have been done to the car including exhaust or TQ converter.

Who with a stock MM equipped with a Trilogy blower will accept the challenge in FL running 9.5 PSI, stock tires, 93 octane fuel?

Enough talk about pros and cons of both systems!

Enough talk about prior time slips!

2 MM's head to head!


This is all in good clean fun so let's not turn it ugly. :)

Whoever wins, we all win as Mercury Marauder car enthusiasts!

I guess his car isnt stock then....can the Trilogy car have 4:10s and mufflers then?

Well that's convenient since you don't have any.

Furthermore, if you read the post Lidio made that launched this debate, he indicated that gear changes were needed to get the centrifugal cars moving. Looking at MarauderTJA specs it looks like this is true.

How about running a procharger marauder that's really stock?

Guys, I am not trying to piss anyone off.

That said, a good matchup would be as close to stock as possible with both cars so that the kits would be the determining factor.

My car is heavily modded, but the next time I'm at Bradenton I have no problem stepping up myself.

Good clean fun, I don't even mind losing to another Marauder.

It's all in the fun.

Tom had the gear change well in advance, as do a ton of Marauders!

And yes, the next time I'm at Bradenton I will have a timeslip.

Tom's car is the most stock so his will have to do.

And yes, Lidio did start all this.

How about loosing to my unmodified Mach 1 then? I think it ran a 13.3.

Trouble is, by running gears on the Procharger Marauder you don't address Lidio's point about stock to stock comparison.
 
Only warning. Put the dicks back in the pants. NOW. If you can't take the man up on some clean honest fun and act like gentlemen, y'all can step right off the plank for a week or two.
 
While this has been fun, in all seriousness I will run anyone for fun, win or loose.

I'm not going to compare apples to oranges.

Lets keep this clean.

Procharger has a car to use.

Let's find a Trilogy who is willing.

I don't see what the big deal is, let's just run em.

I do not see why everyone is getting so upset?

Im not upset, I am just having fun. I do hope you make it to MVIII....We can have even more fun at the track...side by side....

If Carfixer will do a change out, maybe we can put in some stock gears for a day or to. I do not think it would be a problem to change the tune in that regard, but that is up to Tom.
 
No one is upset. Your just ignoring the issues being brought up. If you want to run for fun knowing the results do not prove or disporve what Lidio has said, then so be it. Have fun. But let's not confuse the run for fun as any type of proof as to which blower performs better on a totally stock marauder.

Logan, this is all in good fun! Let us tease each other a little. its been a long winter!

I was really hoping the event would be in the southern part of the US this year.

I would love to go, but I'm not up for the drive. If I did, I would accept anyone's challenge, win or loose.
 
Hmmm, that didn't come out right. My point is, If you have a issue with anything happening in this thread and you're not going to be nice or cordial about it, don't bother posting as I'll get royally pissy as I'm pretty much fed up with the anal retentiveness of the supercharger owners around here in general and how much they like to spray their testosterone around.

That being said carry on, but obey the site rules and don't make it personal.

Aye Boss, but you might be onto something...has anyone sprayed their marauder with testosterone yet?

Sorry, I don't buy that for a second. Most of the participants in this thread have been warned at one point or another about being *******s on this board and these threads ALWAYS degrade. Someone takes a comment personally and then launches a jihad to prove their superiority.

It's annoying considering how many times a week I repeat myself to the same general crowd.

Now, I'll go away now, y'all play nice now y'hear? I gotta go to Memphis tomorrow to go pick up my CTS-V so I can paste ALL your asses...Magnuson makes a lovely roots kit for the V...Hmmmm... :D

:burnout:

I respect that.

There is no more to be said in my opinion.

The challenge is offered.

Accept or not accept, that is what a challenge is!
 
boys boys!!

Why must you always want to race each other? I would like to see SOMEONE whup on the Impalas. Indy was not very pretty for the MM. There is really no reason for us to race one another, even to settle the age-old question of whos S/C is better. I would like for one of our cars to shut down an Impala just once!! MM's racing MM's is like having a fistfight with your brother, it only feels good for a few minutes when you win. To beat the shizz out of one of those chevy boys would give all of us a good feeling and more RESPECT from those outside of the MM brotherhood.

Just my .02
