Question Marauder S

Hey Guys,
My wife is getting tired of her 6 speed and looking at getting another car. Do any of you know anything about the Marauder S that Kenny Brown is making.

I just read his write up, but that is never the real story. Any input will be great. I emailed him to ask what the 1/4 mile time and speed should be and will post if he gets back with me.

I understand Kenny does not enjoy a strong rating in service and would like to here anything you guys know.

Here is his link to the car.

Hey, thanks Andy for e-mailing me the link to this post, I'm sure I can help Alvin....


Dude, I know the felling of asking the tuners about their products of course they'll tell you everything is honkey dorey instead I think you should talk to the owner of the current and first Marauder S made by Kenny Brown to see whats up and to see what options you should opt for and stay away from if your woman makes her mind and decides to go with the Big Black Panther!

The owner of the current Kenny Brown Marauder S can be found on: mercurymarauder.net he goes by the screen name: mensrea Very nice guy... he was going to post times on the track but a small family emergency prevented him from going... he'll go soon, and have the #'s ready, thats what Kenny is waiting for.

Good Luck!

Oh and if I may add... Your wife got good taste in cars!

Dougie... That was....

Had a White 99L, sold for 02 Villager for wife, acquired Black '02 L for myself, sold 02L for 03 Marauder. Now selling 69 Cougar to buy another L because I miss my truck.

Then I think the magical combination will be complete...

As for Marauder S, it's a pretty kick *** sleeper. The entry price is pretty steep though and they're only making 11 this year.

Hello...I own the first Kenny Brown Marauder S

Hello everyone, I own the First Kenny Brown Marauder S, the car is a blast. We ran a 12.790 on street tires two weeks ago, and I just picked up a set of ET Streets I am dying to try out. Check out my car in Car and Driver and Autoweek.
AutoWeek magazine, cover car
http://www.autoweek.com/cat_content...._code=01859921

Car and Driver
http://www.caranddriver.com/article....&page_number=1

The car is going to be on AutoWeek TV in a couple of weeks...

Now for the reason I am here, does anyone know if it is possible to drop a Cobra (98-01) into an F150 and slap a supercharger on it? I wonder if that would be cheaper than buying a lightning.. any suggestions?
