@JohnLemonX i know what a Marauder is and looks like...if thats a maruder then it has Crown vic rims on it (yes i'ma aware the Merc has 5 spoke rims just like tha Vics do, but those are deffinetly not the Marauder rounded off 5 spokes), no spoiler, and a crown vic grill...I've owned a couple Vics and seen a many Marauders, and this my friend has crown vic written all over it...nobody would modify a Marauder to look like a Vic thats asinine
@NancyPelosi1954 but throw the same tech, time and turbo running same psi of boost on the v8 and you will
ALWAYS get more horsepower, only thing the v6 has is power to weight ratio but the extra horses take care of that, american cars = fast in a straight line, imports = fast in a straight line and around corners
@darkchild256 I sincerely hope you mean 4 and not 6, anyhow, did I say somewhere that I thought imports weren't fast in a straight line and round corners?
@NancyPelosi1954 yes i thought they were v6s i just looked it up, my mistake and the second part was my own oppinion and imports almost always get dropped in straight-aways due lack of torque to gain speed in higher gears, also my oppinion

@longshot1490 its a mercury, and you can clearly see that the marauder let up or something broke. look at the time and the speed... the evo got blasted out of the hole
It is a Marauder. He painted it sonic blue. I've meet him. And I bought the original transmission from that car. It is very much a Marauder, albeit a very different one.
15.54 with a 68 mph trap speed... I'm guessing the tranny quit as it tried to shift into third gear. The Evo missed fourth gear, which hurt as well: 13.18 @ 99.75 mph. I'm guessing the Evo probably runs high 12's at around 105 mph. I'm sure the Marauder is faster when it's not breaking.
Something really wrong with that marauder or it is just a shitty grand marquie with a supercharger cuz a marauder with supercharger runs high 12 to low 13, not some 15 sec
What a bunch of assholes commenting. That was a black 2003 Marauder before the conversion into what it is now. Its still %100 a Marauder regardless what most of you tools think.
Hmm looks like the Marauder or Crown Vic or whatever the hell this is, let off the gas or experienced an error, cause no way in hell is that EVO gonna catch up that quick, and you can see how the Marauder all of sudden looked as if it just died down.
does anyone read the discription? Its prorauder. its just got some aftermarket blue paint and i belive an 8-71 blower. look it up, he narrowed the frame and widend the factory wheels.
@superchargedregal yeah thats y i dont think its a marader who in their right mind would do a color chang on a car like that when the car like the marader is known for that color its mos likly a clone
@superchargedregal 2003 Marauder came in Black Clearcoat, Dark Blue Pearl Clearcoat, Silver Birch Clearcoat Metallic, and in 2004 they added, Dark Toreador Red Clearcoat Metallic.
@Richierich1285 HOW COULD THIS GET 2 THUMBS UP WHEN ITS COMPLETELY WRONG???? THE MARAUDER CAME IN 4 COLORS BLUE BLACK SILVER AND BURGANDY....WTF ?! PLEASE DO SOME RESEARCH.
@Richierich1285 - you're right, except for the Marauders which came in silver, red, or blue. The first year was black-only, the second year had four color options.
@Richierich1285 Actually the Marauder came in four colors from the factory: Black, Silver Birch, Dark Pearl Blue ('03 only) and Dark Toreador Red ('04 only).
@Richierich1285 the marauders came in mostly black but other color options were burgundy,silver(used by florida highway patrol),and dark blue from the factory
you guys are all stupid. a stock marauder runs 15's... same motor as the mustangs(which means your mustang wouldn't wheel stand with this) also, this certain marauder has a 4.3 32V mod motor with a HUGE blower. it's called the tuning stage people... he has already hit 12's while still tuning and a stock tranny...trust me, I know him personally
Lmao.... Still tuning, look how heavy those cars are. A full body like that....lol a steel body, A four dooor stilling tuning is not bad at all. I give props to that EVO bustin a nut down the 1/4 mile. Dont get me wrong, those EVO's can spin some power, but that marauder does pretty good. But thats my personal opinion...You peoples can opinionate on what you feel.
personally i wouldn't sleep in an EVO but a marauder's a mobile lounge. comfy leather seats, great leg space, powerful V8 (even stock) and it's rare also.
i wouldnt want to sleep in either lol. BUT i think the crown vic and marauder are the last remaining "muscle cars" (i guess you could throw mustang, camaro, and dodges offerings in there as well)
The Evo driver doesnt know how to launch and his reaction time was shitty. Regardless if it sounds like a weed wacker, lawnmower, doesnt matter, a win is a win and to top it off the gas prices nowadays Im glad I got a 4 cylinder Evo that sounds like a weed wacker and still go fast with money in my pocket.EVO FTW!!!
yea something went wrong. I'm guessing trans sinc eit pulled great thru 1st and what looks like most of 2nd but I dunno. supercharged 'Rauders are normally in the 13s or lower, depending on ring/pinion ratios.
Prorauder makes enough power to make a mustang do a wheelstand but you have to consider the extra few feet of length of a Panther chassis car.... The extra 1,000 lbs spread across a couple of extra feet makes it A LOT harder to raise the front in a Mercury Marauder.
Hey, anusbreath....I was replying THREE MONTHS AGO to the chevyhead who was trashing John's Marauder; I own a Grand Marquis myself. If if wasn't for the fact that you suffer from cranial/anal inversion, you would know that, Ricky Retardo. I've had the pleasure of meeting and talking with John back when Prorauder was black, and he's a way cool guy...unlike you, ballslick. It's easy to be a tough guy online, but I KNOW you wouldn't talk that way to my face, you silly faggot. I'm outta here.
the ford obvoiusly had a problem, you could by the way it stopped accelerating 20yrds from the line. The little weedwacker EVO is king amongst ricers but a pawn against American Muscle.
V8 = torque which is good for acceleration. Look up the Taurus SHO. The Yamaha V8 weighed barely more than a V6 but put out more torque in comparison. What you meant to say was weight causes bad acceleration but a V8 doesn't have to be heavy. RWD is also better for acceleration than FWD due to the weight transfer. AWD can be better or worse.
FWIW this run was when John grenaded his drivetrain. The stock transmission can't handle his engine. It's since replaced and MUCH faster. Search Prorauder.
d12, the Marauder didn't finish the run. Either something happened or he let off. You don't get a start like that and run a 15.544. MY Grand Marquis could come close to a 15.5 and it's stock.
I was going to say...What happened? My cousins crown Vic P72 used to go over 140 all the time.....How fast was that one going? it looked like it had a damn good start.
what happened at mid-track there?

Wow, prorauder is hot! too bad it didn't lay down a better # :(
My 98' vic can run a 13.4 w/ a 125, so i would have expected better from this.

Nice run! That's a Marauder by the way...

no its a vic, marauders were the new generation body style.

Search for ProRauder on yahoo and you'll find the info on the build. The Marauders shared the same chassis as the 03/04 Crown Vics

He is right people, its a 03 marauder, originally black, look it up on google.
Google: Prorauder or check out cvmusclecars dot com

That's a american car that got smoked. The Evo won. Shows how much you pay attention.

Lawnmower, then a weedwacker...doesn't matter what it sounds like. A win is a win.

Because the marauder let off before the 1/8.
nickoudumho 4 years ago 2
yeah he deffinatley had a problem or something, and you gotta keep in mind that vic weighs 4500 lbs.

Its not a vic, its a marauder and he has had some top end issues with it running lean. Still working out the tune.
crazychipmunk67 4 years ago 2
d12, the Marauder didn't finish the run. Either something happened or he let off. You don't get a start like that and run a 15.544. MY Grand Marquis could come close to a 15.5 and it's stock.

The car runs 13's but it has a problem with going lean at the top end, so he has to let off the gas 3/4th way down the track.
Its got a wet injection nitrous kit ontop of that blower and is still being tuned, itl be back.
