[Shotimes] RE: OT - Autoweek stuff

[Don McKinnon]

Carl,
Did I say its not a performance sedan???  Its problem is that what everyone
else says about it, it heavy and uses a rev motor to motivate it.  Ford
certainly did not help its cause in the lack of promoting it.  The
dealerships here were marking them down and dumping them as fast as they
could, I guess they saw another SHO in the works.

BTW, I'm "into slushboxes" only because my AWA will not drive a manual with
the kids in the car when she needs to drive my car.  I've owned the 95 MTX
since 1997 and have many mods into it, have you forgotten...

Since you appear to be into slushboxes, what shortcomings does the Marauder
have that makes it not qualify as a "performance" sedan?  I happen to think
it's a nice looking car that goes like stink.

Does anyone else think of Bugs Bunny when you hear the word "Marauder"?

The lack of stick is what turns me off, so that's why it doesn't fit my
definition.
