1996 Impala SS vs. 2003 Mercury Marauder

[SVT666]

So I showed my wife pictures of the Marauder and she just rolled her eyes.

[SaltyDog]

I'd take the Marauder, but the Caprice beats it in the engine department.

[LonghornTX]

Impala for me.? It just has WAY more cachet in my opinion.? It is the ultimate "big boy" ride? .

A stick option was never seriously under consideration; the clutch pedal would interfere with a key behind-the-dash crossbracing that is essential to the big Merc passing crash regs. - HOT ROD MAGAZINE

Oh well.

Oh well.

The Merc is a tank.  It wouldn't have made a difference in the real-world that much.  Oh well, indeed.

There's nothing wrong with a land yacht with a manual.

Aparently you've never heard of a "four speed, dual quad, positraction 409" Impala SS.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Giddy up, giddy up 409

Oh well.

I'm sure there's a way around that.  And besides, if you do it aftermarket, they aren't going to crash test your car.

i think he meant that the cross brace should have been sacrificed for a manual transmission.

Ah, I see.

But a lot of people [cough]Wimmer[/cough] do say that a big car shouldn't have a manual tranmission.

[the Teuton]

There are Range Rovers that have manual transmissions.  But, alas, there are some big cars that only come in automatic *cough Veyron*.

[heelntoe]

the veyron is no bigger t han a gallardo actually.(unless you mean power wise)

[the Teuton]

I meant weight wise, actually.  It's about the same weight as a Grand Marquis.

[heelntoe]

oh.

[SVT666]

I meant weight wise, actually.? It's about the same weight as a Grand Marquis.

The Veyron is 200 lbs heavier then the Marauder.

[giant_mtb]

Marauder for me.


...Why are people so into the Marauder but so hateful against the Grand Marquis and Crown Vicky?  It's the same goddamn car (basically)... 

[Raza]

Better engine, better transmission, better suspension, better looks.

Devil's in the details...

[FIU Panther]

The Impala you guys are missing the gotta have it pimp factor.

What other can you ride around listening to Snoop D-O-Double G and feel as cool in.

Impala SS for me.

Impala SS for me. 

Both of these cars scream AC/DC to me.

I mean the looks.  The only real differences are that it has fog lights, it's a few millimeters lower in the front, and it has some big wheels...other then that it's still a Grand Marquis. 

[Vinsanity]

it also has blacked-out headlights

[macchina]

The more I think about it, the more I'd go with the Impala.? I just really like full-sized Chevy's.? See America today in your Chevrolet.? ?
