Awesome! It pulls pretty d@mn hard. I'm just enjoying it because I have to put it away for winter in another month or so. So the svt focus I just bought will become the new dd.

Forget the Mach 1, forget the saleens, and forget the roush. Why? They can always make more of these...bigger, better, badder. The 03/04 Terminators will never be reproduced. Why? SVT has been mainstreamed as the "performance group", factory muscle has been farmed out to joint efforts with Shelby and God knows who else in the future, and the government demand for auto manufactures to raise emission standards and mpg will prevent pure factory muscle in the future. The Termis are what at this point will be the factory cream-of-the-crop muscle cars. The 2010 Mustangs don't even have the IRS!!! John Coletti was kick a** for SVT program, but like all the greats he hung up his hat. To those who have a Termi...take care of them...you have a legendary car that will only get more valuable.

yeah the ride is a tad bit nicer. and im not just talking about straight line performance. this thing wheelhops just from getting on it. you could be roadracing or auto-xing and it will wheelhop.

An IRS Brace would help out with that a lot. That and some good tires.

When my car was stock I had no problem with wheel hop, and even now with the power I'm making I still don't have to much of a problem with it.
