Default How many would trade their S197 for a Termi?

I am very happy with the way my car is looking but still need to work on the way it runs. I have always loved the 03/04 and a local car lot has one that I got a ride in the other day. It is making me want the power and the ported Eaton sound. I know my car is smoother and more roomy inside but I am still tempted. I want to know how many of you would still trade your S197 back for a Cobra. Thanks

Here is a pic of mine now.

Even with that power, I think I'd still rather have your car. Looks way nicer. Save up for a blower .

I wouldn't. I can't get over how ugly the interior is on the older cars. It's so bland. I hate the melted look of previous ford interiors.

If I could find a low mile, un-modded, completely bone stock, factory spoiler delete, little old lady owned Termi in white I would.

In other words, no.




Before I bought my 2010, I was considering one, I just couldn't find one that wasn't beat to hell, or rigged out with all kinds of aftermarket junk, lowered, etc, etc etc.....

I think mine looks way better but i would rather have that engine. I think ours only handle like 450 rwhp safely whereas the terminators can do like 1000ish. But if the termi had pretty low miles and sonic blue than yes i would trade.
