Question

CycloneFE · 10-29-2008, 08:25 PM

Has anyone ever raced a Mercury Marauder(newer 4 door version) in stock class? Does NHRA allow it? I don't see any listings for the Marauder or Grand Marquis. Would this be a viable combination?

Just some random, getting ready for winter, thinking.

I think the Maurader would be pretty cool! Just have to make sure FOMOCO has sent the proper paperwork to NHRA. Poses the same problems as the Mustang Cobra & that is working on the 4v engine, potential difficulties in tear down.

It was on the guide & it fell into K/SA I ran my wifes bone/showroom stock 03 & it ran 9.51 @ 75 mph 1/8th mile...it ripped the tires pretty good each pass too. the thing would BLAST my buddy's rumble bee Dodge truck too!! My wife traded it for a Mustang GT convertable...it's fun too

I can see it now. The Masked Maurader!
Are the Ford Crown Vics in the guide? I looked in 2001 and didn't see one listed.
I don't know what years the Maurader were produced. I see a maroon one parked in the parking lot at the golf course near my house, but I don't know much about them.

the 03's were only Black in color & very few were made... something like less then 1000! we had one it was a great car & fun to drive BUT we bought it used about a year old & someone had played with a buffer on it! I t was so bad it look like someone had took 1000 grit sandpaper to it! Plus it was big & Marissa wanted a convertable so away it went...the plans are to buy one later on down the road. Her Mustang that we have now is an 03 with only 25,000 miles on it...it's like a new car & being a stick it's very FUN!
