hope no one took my little post as bashing termies....I simply was just stating they are not the car for me...that is all...They are power beasts without a single doubt...I am just one that is not a fan of them at all...I dont think the OP as trying to start or even bashing them..I think we can all agree that there might have been something wrong with the termie he drove to get that kind of reaction...oh and FWIW...I have no problem keeping up with termies...have a few beasts here and they are incredible machines...but have not had my lunch handed to me yet...but there are always faster cars out there for sure....

personally i love the style of the terminator mustang and the raw power of it...however, the interior looks like a 1984 ford escort... .and when you add mods to the interior it looks like a 1984 modded ford escort...

I agree with you only I test drove the new 5.0 and it felt like my 07 gt when it was stock that car should have felt like my car with all my bolt on's! 37,000 for a new gt no thanks I'l buy a used gt500 money well spent. Sorry but Its along the same line you expect something better only to find what you have isn't bad at all!

If you can't feel the difference in 100+ hp then I have no idea why you bothered adding bolt ons to your car.

Now we're talking!!

Joke aside, I agree with the less appealing interior of the 94/04 cars.

Now that's what I'm talking about

-- seriously though. My boy has a Termi with minor bolt on's and I wanna say he swapped his SC too -- either way he has 606RWHP and 554RWTQ - you have some SERIOUS modding to do

So no. You aren't really "done" with this car until you get your shortblock put in and get your 600whp.

besides the wheelhop, there isn't much not to like about a Termie. I like the body style (had 2 of S195). They are just too old for my tastes. With the age you get problems. I'd love a 4v motor in my Bullitt

hell, a stock Terminator will eat most supercharged S197's without much effort. Pulley + tune and they will eat most anything alive.
