They'd go about 14.70s on a good day. They were all naturally aspirated.

They kinda suck around town at low speeds, too much car and not enough engine/converter/gear to be really fun IMO, but they move out smartly once you get them rolling.

An upgraded rear end can do a lot to make them quicker off of the line. Powerwise they are kind of p. Pace with a Mark VIII. From a roll of say 20 mph they are hot! Basically they are a good sleeper.

Something always caught my eye about those Maraurders. That would be a nice project car someday.

I test drove the car, and I'm considering making a offer.

I don't know where the reported 300 H/P is, the car moves along verry smartly, a lot quicker than the crownvic cop car I used to own, But It is not a drag racer.

What I do like is the ride, For a big old boat, the Marauder really handels and on the higway, the car has the illusion of faster, faster, faster, at 130 KM the car is solid, no boaty ride and its quiter than my ( 09 Ram )

I have allways liked big RWD cars and its basicly a hot Rod lincolin
