Sir Nuke · 08-08-2009, 09:30 PM

its supercharged, do the samething to a SS and you will have a better ride, and one that is better looking as well.

The powerplant in the ss wouldnt handle the boost that thing can put out.

Paperer · 08-08-2009, 09:48 PM

Yeah, those are beasts man.

Great concept = factory forged motor that you can just keep turning up the boost until you run out of traction......

I take it that happens to be yours? I would love to buy a svt cobra, but now the 04's are starting to age. I'd hate to sink 30k into one with low miles on it and for it to be getting old. I don't know, maybe I will go for a 99' or something. Something not as high in price, maybe something with a built motor in it, and then go from there with the whipple. Definitely get the 3.4, but now I hear there is a whipple 4.0 in the makes. You should youtube the gt500 with the 3.4 from lethal performance man, it is one sick car.

Thats all in ones own opinion. Newer ride? yes, better ride? In my eyes, no. Better looking? maybe to you, to me? no.

Everybody has different tastes in the way a car looks. Back then, I loved that Mustang design so much I bought one in 1998 before they changed the look to the ugly 99 and up years...I like the look of the Camaro better now after seeing them side by side in my driveway. However back in the day when the 2010 Camaro and the concept didn't exist, the Mustang was king in looks for a budget sports car..

Like I said, its your opinion lol. I would buy a 04, but like I said, I don't want to sink that much money into a ageing car. I may do a 99' and mod the hell out of it, if it has lower miles, or a new built engine in it. I know I had a chance about 2 years ago at a 99' with a 302 in it, with some goodies pushing around the 490 range on a conservative tune.

The 2003-4 Cobras are basically the Skylines/Supras of the American modding scene. It's completely insane what you can do with them.

I agree. Very sick cars.

Not mine, that guy seems to have a few vids out. I think a TVS is a good and inexpensive way to get to 600Rwhp for a daily driver. Of course, KB if you are going for crazy power.

Only problem I have with the Terminator is that the GT500 is a better car in every respect. Really glaring differences? The interior in the SN95's is positively archaic in comparison.....ergonomics are terrible and materials are horrible...and the GT500 is a better dynamic car in every way. Factor in the reality that the GT500 is faster both stock and modded and the night and day difference in handling between the two the Terminators really shouldn't be demanding the money that they do IMO.

If Termy's were cheaper I would likely feel different since value is always a factor, but right now the price tags attached to these things still makes me prop up an eyebrow.

That is if you can even find one.. Tried earlier in the year for the 'ploder and settled on late 4th gen Firebirds. Sucked really, they have a faux Cobra done up at WMU's lab that I loved (wat). Donated from Don Seelye in 03 and had so much crap done to it..

Well, that was 2 years ago. Probably either got rid of it now or have something else setup on that frankenstang.
