the GT500 vs the Boss is a totally different car and driving style. the GT500 will smoke it in a straight line but take a turn and the Boss is gone.

The Boss may lose (and I'm not even sure it would), but it's certainly no slouch. And it's still N/A, once folks start putting out boost kits for it, imagine what it'll do against a GT500... But I digress from the topic du jour...

But yeah, you're certainly right about them being different driving styles (at least I think you are, as I haven't gotten to drive either one yet ). Handling doesn't matter to some, it's all about the straight line speed times for the track or just for bragging rights. But I love the handling of the Terminator. I've driven numerous cars (including GTs, Cobras, and Trans Ams in particular) through the mountains in GA/TN/NC and the 04 Cobra is by far the most comfortable and most fun to drive through there. I am one of the ones that likes having the IRS and would consider that a plus when deciding if I should buy a Terminator...

the only 2 cars i have driven that handled better than my V6 is a Porsche Cayman and my old Corrolla. that corrolla was a beast around turns but it also had about $2000 in the rear end alone.

this is true, i took a hiatus from the forums as well.... tired of the monotony and trolls, kinda sad the forum as a whole has gone downhill though there is a small group of guys in the 4.6 that are pretty cool.

I spend most of my time on local boards where I actually know people. RKC is my main one. There is a big MN chapter and we host a get together every monday night that draws 2-300 cars out. Even that site has changed some over the years but its nice to know who the other person you are talking to is.

I logged onto here a couple of years ago, but I just got serious about talking a few months back. Are you guys telling me I have missed the fun times and people here??
