04 Terminator
Ive watched probably every termie video on youtube and such, but theres no comparison to riding in one.......
The 'ol man just took me for a ride in his 04 Comp Orange vert termie that he recently aquired a few weeks ago. What a cherry this thing is. 3,300 miles, 1of72 04 comp orange verts made. All yourbasic boltons (catted x [&:]), dynoed @ 469hp 472tq. Supposedly theres 16k in the car, including suspension and custom stereo. Not a bad car for $28,500.
Now about the ride. We get on the exit ramp, wait for the clearing, from about 5mph at the most (fast enough to let the clutch out and roll) he gets it. Now, Ive heard a lotta bad things on the nittos, but these 315's COMPLETELY hooked and we were ****tting and gittting. They did spin 1-2, maybe a hair in 3rd, but I was pertty impressed. We only went up to about 120, but man did we get there fast. The second run-of-the-gears started right under a passover, boythat intensified the sexiness of the eaton winding up.
Needless to say, this is the fastest car Ive been in (4doorcivicsleeper right next to it). I don'tget scared driving, but Im a pretty sissy passenger (comes from riding with the wife
) so I did check my draws when I got home (lane changes got me the most). Im in no position to have a car of this caliber, but, today fellas, a goal has been set, I have to have a terminator [&:]
P.S. He's planning on throwing on a whipple here in the near future

Pss Pics and vids are coming asap, I was in the middle of tearing my yard up when he showed up, so I wasnt prepared

RE: 04 Terminator
The guy got caught up in a buncha IRS mess. His business partner took out a $29,500 loan against it, but never saw a penny of it back, so he sold it for what the payoff of that loan was. This is all 3rd party info, but the man selling it was the business partner.
He also said that as far as he new, the car had never seen any kind of water. Unless it got wet during the shipping of it, the owner had never even washed the car!!
Doodad, He had your twin before this one.Pulley, cai, o/r x, catback, pp'd eaton, 498hpI believe. Then he traded that for a comp orange coupe, then sold that for the vert. Before all these he had a low-10 secsc'd 89 gt AND a mid-10 sec juiced coupe, but we were on bad terms until here recently, so this is not the fastest car he's had, but the fastest Ive encountered. He's already had a ls1 bird try'n pick on'em, put about 10 lengthson'em (this coming from the bird driver, dad didnt know how many lengths it was). He's looking for 600hp when its said and done
