Don't get mad. Do Terminators suck you and F you? No. Absolutely they do not. They are not the end all be all. In Cory's case, hes already spent probably 7500 bucks on his motor if not more, and to throw that away because hes frustrated is downright rediculous.

I did not realize he had that much money in his car. Op, keep the car.

Not mad at all. Just love me some termis. And 7500 is alot to spend on a motor, alot more than some payed for their cars. If there is that much in the motor then i would deff get it taken care of because that is a beast ready to be unleashed.

forgive me if my math or numbers are a little shakey here lol....
shortblock 2300-2500
cams 650 + install
TFS heads 3000
edelbrock intake manifold 600-800 with install
6061 plenum -250 ish
longtubes 500 -750ish with install
Roughly 7000? Not including install on all of the parts? Keep the f*cking car and get it sorted out. Giving up now is like breaking up with a smokin hot girlfriend before you get her in bed. Just....WHYYYYYYYYY! lol
Get the thing figured out, black saleens, trap 115 in the 1/4 with a good tire, and that thing will be pure S.E.X

Hey boys...car is just pissin me off lately and im kinda getting sick of it.
Im taking it to St.Louis and if they can't get her straightend out then ill probably sell the car.
If you were to get another car...what would it be?
Ive been lookin at Machs, Cobras (99-04), T/As (No Camaros).
Im lost on cars to look at, im really into muscle cars, but i wouldn't shy away from a Subie or something like that.
Id say 20k would be my limit (sale+loan) Help me out boys...this is a serious time

Hey man I feel you on that one. When my car was completly stock no issues what so ever. When I started putting money into her then all hell broke loose. Between the new tranny, rear end replacement, front tire wear, exhuast leak and just replaced the engine, I was all ready to give it up. Hell I even drove a 11 5.0 and a 08 challenger SRT-8. Also I totally agree with Purp. Sh** happens. If you get a new car and start modding it somethings bound to go wrong with it. I say keep the car, fix it and enjoy it. Good luck bro..

That changes everything. Keep that car and get it tuned right and it will be a beast!

I'd say keep it with what you already have in it. a 2v that can blow away most cars is more impressive than a 4v that can IMO... Stick with it I highly doubt you'll regret keepin it once you get the bugs out and a good tune.
