Read an interesting article at work today. It states that as of June, 2004 no more orders for the Marauder. They say that the car will no longer be built. Better store em now cause they may be worth something in the future.:burnout:

The vehicle is a disgrace, it is advertised as a performance vehicle yet it accelerates like an SUV and handles like a Lincoln Continental. Only good thing you can say is that it didn't bomb as big as the recently deceased T-Bird.
If you need speed that bad, stick with a Mustang. Some guys like a little luxury (with a little pep)Originally posted by SnakeSkinner

how many other car companies are making big V8 sedans, not one. it may not be the best car to build to make profits with, but you cant say its not cool. Ever hear one start up? If i had the money i would get one.

Actually Chrysler makes the 300c. 340hp, 390ft/lbs and an interior that is just a shade better than my Impala. And because it has the suspension setup from the last e-class I suspect, it will handle a bit better too. Awesome car for 33k far more for the money than a marauder.
Long live the V8 4-door! Go to www.seanhylandmotorsport.com and see what they have done for the Marauder. I like big comfortable boats. Last one I had was a '97 T-Bird Sport 4.6....still miss it sometimes.:beer: I heard the 05 T-Bird will be the last year again? Any word?Originally posted by Tom Kuznicki
Thats funny, because when I left the plant today I could have sworn that I was building T-Birds along with the Town Cars and LS's, but , maybe it was just my imagination that helped to wear me out.

First off the 300C it butt ugly.
Second, I drove one and its a soft cushy Luxo ride. It gets moving quick, but feels flat at anything over 40mph. The exhaust note sounds more like a vacuum cleaner than a Hemi. BTW, at $33k it's stripped. Get one even close to loaded and its more like $38+.
I've shelled out a heck of a lot less total cash for my 04 MM ($28,000) and Trilogy eaton blower kit ($6,000). That's not to mention that my 04 will now run high 12s against the 300C Hemi's low 14s.
Sorry, the 300C just isn't really targeted to the performance enthusiast. It's far too "soft". Did I mention that's its totally F'ugly too?

Hey isn't the 300C displacement on demand? I read that 4 of the 8 lifters collapse at cruise so the car operates on only 4 cylinders. I'm sorry but, I won't and will never buty anything remotely close to displacement on demand! I don't believe they are still trying to implement this ridiculous feature. If I have a V8 four door I don't care about gas mileage I want power.
Even though they say the transission between 4 and 8 cylinders is pretty seamless, I want full V8 power all the time. NOT some buzzy little four banger half the time. SCREW the 300C! This is a Ford forum no more hamming up that but ugly 300C.
