WEll the other day this car i think wanted to go... I do know exactly what car it was but it was a continental... Everytime i see these cars their usually black with dark tint windows, 4 doors and have long double exhuast pipes..

The logo had those three slanted lines... so i think it was a continental car.. not sure what model.. Anybody know what im talking about??? It kinda looks like a undercover cop car.. but of course retired... cause a normal person was driving..

Well if it is that type how fast are they? I have a Type S with light wheels and an intake.. How do we measure up..

 

Mercury Marauder?

You'll beat it.

 

^^^ damn you knew it immediately.... ok thanks..

 

That's confident, you know much about the Marauder? Apparently not.

As much as I hate mag racing, the specs I find on the Marauder show that it posts very similar 0-60 times and 1/4 mile times to the TL-S. If you do beat it, it won't be by much. Yeah, it's heavy, but it has 302hp and 310tq. If you're stock, it'll be a good race. Should be close. I can't say confidently whether you'd win or lose.

 

Yeah the Marauder is a beast ...I would attempt though, but it's because I never back down from a challenge I haven't beaten a G35 Coupe yet but damnit I'm gonna keep trying

 

In stock form they are running mid 15's on their forums.

 

Here's a quote from car and driver:

It huffed through the quarter-mile in 15.5 seconds at 91 mph.

91 out of a stock type-s would be sad.

I'd sure like your retraction of me not knowing what I'm talking about.

Thanks.

 

Marauder? There is a Lincoln Continental, but there the same car.

 

a type-s will win by these stats

I love magazine racing.

I don't think a TL-S would have a problem beating a Marauder. You just gotta watch out for a SC'd one.

I think my brother got destroyed by one of those at the track.

 

That trap is the best Marauder trap I've seen from a mag.

my car and driver quote above was 91.

 

Still waiting for your apology for being a dumbass.

 

Stock Marauder should be equal to Type S, if not it's gotta rape you a BIG HOLE goodbye

 

Way to NOT read the thread, NOT know what you're talking about, and GIVE your opinion anyways.

 

I've read that those cars are not that fast ...and that the car was a bust for Mercury cause of its lack of performance = lack of sales
... I could of sworn I read in C/D that the car was running to 60 in the low to mid 7 secs...

now they do supercharge that thing at the dealership...then I may call it it a beast

 

keep it civil guys.

 

Stock vs stock, my money's on the TL-S. However, the Marauder does respond VERY well to mods.....as is typical of many domestic V8s.

 

Hey I'm just asking for an apology from someone that implied I didnt know what I was talking about when the fact is he didnt have a clue.

 

marauders suck!!!!!!!!!! they are slow. I in fact ran with one of the highway yesterday from a roll 50mph to start and blew his friggin doors off, those things are slow as hell. By 90mph I had 2-3 CL's on him and pulled farther away easily. I have a 99 TL BTW, but I am a little faster than a stock TL-S, but still a TL-S would also destroy this Merc POS.

 

I hate having to quote myself, but as I said - it would be a good race.

 

And again.... 15.5@91 is not a GOOD RACE WITH A TYPE-S.


Still waiting.

 

15.5@91 is ONE example.

Perhaps you should try holding your breath?

 

Didn't take me but a minute to scroll through the Marauder forums and find a stock time of 14.82@95 - and if that's not a good race for a TL-S, what is?

 

If you're going to take the FASTEST stock Marauder time you better not use magazine times for the TL-S.

 

Yeah the other objective example is 15.4@93.


So when you take objective examples and compare them to objective examples, you see it's not a driver's race.

Now if you're taking subjective times from a message board, as I just said, you can't use objective Tl-S times.

 

damn.. i just posted and left and came back to see so many posts.... lol..

well i have an intake wit lighter wheels so im sure that would do better than a stock TL-S just a little bit.. i guess..

Drivers who have them always seem to be speeding and act cocky..dont know why... but now i guess if one is trying to act like their all that. well.. then...

you know the rest....

ps.. i want headers and pullies..

 

one of my teachers drives a black marauder... i saw his pillar had a boost gauge. is that factory?

 

Drop it. Now.

 

When I ignore you what's going to happen? Show up at my door to receive a beating?

 

how about a little vacation from AZ? is that what you want? grow up.

 

I think you would absolutely ruin my life if you banned me for a while. In fact I think it would force me to hop on a plane and come hunt each one of you little guys down.


Give me a break, hardly authoritative.

I think you need a new hobby.

 

 

IP bans only work on kids in middle school.

The reality of the situation is that I defended myself a little more aggressively than you would have in the given situation. That is likely because you're a little nothing with a big e-bad ass job.

At the end of the day you have your reality, abysmal.

 

 

Some Marauders have that from the factory. It pushes them over 400 in both HP and TQ.

 

...some folks just have problems scaling the wall of adolescence.

Good call Mike.

 

I personally havent come across too many Marauders on the road but I do get the impression that their drivers are similar in cockiness to the Impala SS (94-96) guys.

 

That dumb ass not only has NO clue about other cars, yet he tried to play with authorities . Grow da fuk up TCMS and read up REAL TIME what people actually post it not mags racing

 

That would depends if you have some kind of FI and look stock . I'll try to look it up some fast ones.

 

I frequently park next to a black Impala SS, he's always trying to race.
