1.) weight.

2.) your newer 3800 puts out equal if not more power.

3.) FWD vs RWD open diff 2.73 highway gears.

4.) Race a 2000+ interceptor or a marauder and we'll talk.



I wouldn't be too proud. Chances are I could probably take a 95 vic in my murano.

this just turned into serious bidnezz

you cant put an interceptor and a marauder in the same class...a maurader will take a PI'd interceptor all day long...and if it didnt theres something wrong.

early PI interceptor maybe. same year though (03) and they're close. The interceptor's gearing will help as the marauder was geared more for highway whereas the interceptor was sorta midrange.

though it's certainly a race i'd love to see, 03 cvpi vs 03 marauder. Same motor, just different tunes.

The Marauder is a sexy car. Only one around here and I love it.

Not even close to the same motor....the cvpi's had the 2v 4.6 and the marauders had the 4v's

FAWK i forgot they were DOHC. same year they gave the DOHC to the mach 1. Good call.


And yes, I don't know my GM v6s, i thought all the grand "insert random word here" cars were 3800s, my b.

it's a 95 vic!


If I had posted about my murano beating a frickin 91 fiesta i can guarantee the comments would have been MUCH more harsh.


Ok, maybe that's not a fair comparison. Maybe my murano vs. a 91 pathfinder.
MARK
i dont understand what the big deal is joe. were talking about 2xx ft/lb of torque vs 3xx ft/lb of torque. horsepower doesnt matter. i took him from a dig. i dont get why youre making this out to be a shit storm.

i'm not making it a shitstorm lol, i stated my opinion and that opinion was questioned, so I defended it.


I'm sorry, I'm not impressed by your much lighter fwd car beating a boat of a rwd car with stupid low gearing.
The Onion
oh please...no more fomoco vs gm....please for the love of god..

Man it really gets to Joe when someone says somethng about a Ford or Toyota. Fords are ok. They aren't going in my driveway, but not a bad vehicle. Toyota, over engineered poorly designed pieces of trash!
MARK
i have 3.29s for gears. whats your point. quit being a dick man.

lol you guys are too funny. It could have been an old caprice, it doesn't matter. I support certain makes over others sure, but this has nothing to do with that.


If it had been a more comparable car, it'd be cool.

Then again it could be any car that I just don't respect. VW for instance. Mark, if you had beaten a VW, i probably would have LOL-ed a bit and continued on.

I fail to see how I'm being a dick at all when I just stated an opinion on something that was posted publicly, and wasn't even rude about it. Again, if I had posted about my cobra beating a sebring, i would have gotten flamed and the response would be 'no shit you should have won'.

I'm sorry i'm honest, if you took it as me being a dick that wasn't the intention but I'm not apologizing for stating an opinion.
MARK
im lost.

yes. hense why i said 3.29's usually when you talk about gears, you talk about final drive.
