The car weights over 2 tons and has relatively poor low-end torque. The 2500rpm stall helps a little, but it still isn't going to be a rocket out of the hole, hence the "slow" 0-60 times. The mid-range and top end is without a doubt better, and should be more than enough to impress you guys. Besides, if you're judging the car on 0-60 alone, then I must say that you simply "don't get" the point of the Marauder.
-edit-
Don't forget that Vortech, Paxton, and KenneBell have been making blowers for the 32V 4.6 for over 6 years now. It won't be overly long before blown Marauders are stalking the streets....
