Please settle debate, white Marauder?

Even LX Sports only came in:
Dark Wedgewood, Black, Silver, DTR, and I saw a Dark Green one yesterday (yeah I checked it had a floor shifter). I dont recall seeing a White LX SPort Before....

they had an 05 white LX sport at our dealer I was looking at a couple months ago.

Really? Thats Odd. I never seen a white one before, then again, I never saw a dark green one till I saw the one last night, with 17" LX SPort Wheels and Floor Shift.....

The Ford Website says 05 LX Sports Come in DTR, Silver, Midnight Grey and Black.... No white...that would look weird, all white rear fascia and grille...:confused:

It looked like crap. But it had the LX wheels and floor shifter. I found it to be quite strange too.
 
Well, I got the news about my mother's car. It was painted at the dealer with the white color. And as for the door handles, they are replacements, due to wreckage on that side, it was fixed at Maaco.

Uhhhh

1. Those are the incorrect seats in the front front (No Gods head Imprints on the Seatbacks) Seat backs are not shaped like 03+ Seats
2. Incorrect Rear Seat (Shape and No rear Armrest)
3. Incorrect Headrests in front Seats
4. Driver Rear Door Lock Rod looks Chrome- Marauders were black
3. What are you doing taking a Marauder to Maaco for Collision Repair???
:down: :shake:

Indeed he is high on something.

Doesn't matter what color he thinks he saw....I have matched up with all sorts of GTP'S GTP-X's....whatever....

They're all driver dreamers...and slow.....:shake:

He was likely racing a SOHC Grand Marquis.

In regards to the issue at hand, I just hope it has been made clear how easy it is to convert a GM or CV to a Marauder look-a-like. How many V6 Mustangs have you seen with a "COBRA" rear bumper? Doesn't mean you smoked a Cobra.

From what I've seen, stock for stock, a GTP is probably quicker than a stock Marauder. Each car has potential from that point on, and it's anyones guess once mod's are added. I've seen some very quick GTP's but at the same time there are plenty of screamin' Marauders...

But more to my point, it's not hard to fake a Marauder with a CV or GM. A Marauder rear bumper that can be acquired, a dual exhaust cat back, and everyone thinks you have a white Marauder.

I for one am not going to bash the Grand Prix and I hope none of the GP guys bash the Marauders. I'd also hope the same goes for us here. GP's can be made quick, and I respect that. General Motors *should* have made them RWD but I won't even go there. :)

But, I'm a fan of cool cars.

And hey, a GP isn't a HONDA.

I wouldn't trade my Marauder for one, but I have seen modified GTP's pull mid-12's in the 1/4 mile. That's pretty darn respectable for FWD V6.

Of course for the cost of those mod's a Marauder will do mid 11's and leave a cooler burnout. :)

But I'm not bashin', it's just what I like. :)
 
Moments after reading this thread a coworker stopped me in the hall to tell me about the TAN Marauder they saw while at Indy last weekend.

At first I tried to explain and then finally just said it was cool and walked away.
 
No bash to their population....just that :rasta: dude posting he could run a MM with an aged GTP.

I guess my reply was more in regards to the ones I see every friday at the local track. Getting up there in miles, and driven by KIDS. None of these ran deeper than 14.

There's always souped up everythings...there is Datsun B210 that pulls wheelies at the track I attend. Big deal. It has no interior and breaks every other weekend.

The only Pontiac I respect out of quality build, nice interior, and plenty of power is the GTO. The rest are just in the mix of look fast cars with fart cans to make them sound fast as well.
 
God, Reading that Thread on the GTP Site did nothing but Piss me off!! How can someone insist on something that they have no clue about! I also didnt like the comment "Grandpa Car" Grrrrrr I like the Way That Dope insisted it was a Marauder to the Point that He had to type in huge Letters IT WAS A MARAUDER!! YOU FOOL!!!! Then to top it off, The Dude who Raced the So-Called "Marauder" Is so Convinced that his car is SO fast, That he Insisted that the Car he raced HAD to be Supercharged! As If a N/A Panther would be insulting to be Gained on by. UGH UGH. Its the Same Delusional Ideas that the Dodge Forum Members have!!
 
I agree that thread has some people bashing our cars and misunderstanding them, and yes there are plenty of GP's that are nothing. I've come up against a few, and there wasn't much to it.

Just want to make sure we give respect when it's due though. I'd hate for them to see this thread and think we're going to bash their cars without reason. I've seen it happen so many times, the debates just boil down to pointless fights about which car is better, when there's things on each that are good.

I still have a preference though, which is why I'm posting here. :) :) :)
 
This reminds me when I got my Maruader, I was still going to the Grand Am forums. Some people there mis-read one of my posts as bashing the new GTO. I had merely stated they just sorta rebadged an existing car that was the same style as it was when it came out in Australia in 1997, and by doing so they weren't really doing the GTO all the justice they could do.

What ensued was a bunch of "you drive an old mans car" and "where's your depends!".

I then reminded them the fasted 99'+ Grand Am was only in the 13's and this Grandpa car could easily embarrass them.

So respect IS a two way street, as much as I want to talk about it, it IS a two way street...

I totally agree:up:
 
Hey guys, I've tried explaining to them several times he probably raced a CV. And who the only takes a picture of their roof? Got something to hide?:nono:
 
I have a feeling that going over to the GP forums and explaining is a lot like our S/C wars; everyone has an opinion, some will be respectful, some will be belligerant, but in the end it's like pissing in the wind noone wins and everyone's wet.
 
I WILL give the GP guys one thing for this particular model year: the GP GXP. 5.3L V-8 (327 cid), the "paddle-shift" option on the automatic, and all the other options...really good car. Test drove one a few months back and woulda taken it home that day, but the dealer was a d-ck and told me my MM was only worth pennies. This after telling he had no idea what a MM was...

Hey lets not get crazy, your probably going to need FI to beat me.;) I know the Marauder fairly well, and was a whisker away from buying a leftover new one last year. I just couldn't imagine driving one in the winter in my area.

Nope,

Don't need that either.
All you need is a good TUNE, and a CAI, and the Marauder really perks up.
The guys that go F/I are the ones who want all out power,
and have the money to invest into our little hobby...
