Help!
At the first of the year I was going to buy a terminator. I am going to have about 8grand to put down but now I am starting to think that I would be better off just spending the cash on a good power adder and buying a GT at a much lower payment and continue building the gt up. I don't know what to do?
What do you guys think and if I were to go the GT route what would you spend the cash on to make the GT fast? I am not looking for a track car just a quick cruiser and garage queen for some weekend outings.

with 8 grand you could buy an MMR block and build a vortech kit and work from there.
hard to say tho. because thats putting 8 grand into mods, with however much for a GT payment. depending on how much you find the GT for, it may or may not be a wiser idea. say you end up paying 7 grand for the GT (which it may even be more than that) after TTL, thats 15+ grand invested already. you can find a termi for a little more than that. so really, its up to you.
PERSONALLY, i would use that 8 grand as a nice down payment on the termi, or maybe even just buy a GT outright in cash and not have any car payment then you can slowly start saving money for mods with the lack of a payment.

Everyone here will just say save up for a Cobra. I myself like the idea of building a GT instead of a Cobra. I think you would have a blast in a GT with a KB blower, gears and a sticky tire. That would be a very fun and fast street cruiser.
You ever come to Lincoln much?

Don't get to Lincoln very often but would like to more(maybe when I get that car to cruise with)!
What do you guys think about turbo kits? I like the idea of cheaper insurance with the GT also and I have already had a 2000 GT with a vortech and it seemed like the power was too high in the power curve for it to be a good street car.
