Does the slow selling Mercury Maurader suggest the price of the next V8 RWD Impala?

what Eric said..

basically if you bring out a RWD V8, it better be faster, or at least as fast, than a fast V6 sedan, even if the RWD V8 car is bigger and heavier..

The Marauder was limited with the engine it got because they they couldnt get the transmission to be reliable enough.Thats also why the A4 MACH1 has less hp then the 5spd MACH.

And the car has a curb weight of 4165 pnds. w/o driver.It isnt no tooth pick.Now its Coefficient of Drag (Cd) 0.385 isnt too bad..
Ive heard a rumor that the car is to get a detuned BOSS engine soon,From what I was told NA 375hp VCT.And get a Lightning transmission.Will it happen?Who knows it is up in the air just as the FWD/RWD Impala.

I honestly dont know.It was a rumor,I have been spending my time looking for answers conserning the 05 Mustang..And I cant find out a definate power output of the GT or BOSS.300+ just doesnt cut it for me.Ive heard thru sources what it will be but Im not one for speculation most of the time.Talk about hush-hush huh?
