Hey guys, I havent really ever posted here in here (mostly hang around the gen 2 L forum) but I have a request for everyone in the Northern NJ area that owns a termi...
I have been toying with getting rid of my weekend driver Lightning and my recently acquired dd 2002 audi s4 in favor of a termi for the following reasons:
- makes more sense to have a 6speed weekend car in NJ
- s4 is expensive to maintain as a dd... id rather just get a superbeater
- i want the handling of an s4, but the brutality and obnoxiousness of my L all in one car
- i love my L, and told myself i would never sell it... but after get out of the s4 and into the truck, I only wish that the truck was as good around the corners as it is loud, awesome looking, and quick
i want to check out a terminator in person in order to know if this plan of mine is even feasible. here are my reservations:
- i'm a tall guy (6'4" or so) with long legs and ive been told the termi is a bit cramped to some.
- 2 years ago i traded in my L for a 2001 z06 and traded the dealer back 3 days later. the z was fast, but it was not as fun to drive as the truck. it wasn't loud, and i didnt feel like i could take advantage of all of its power while driving around town simply because it is geared so tall (essentially i felt like i was driving a caddy from the cockpit of a fighter jet). that being said, i've always heard that the z is most certainly an upgrade from the termi. i want to see if i get that feeling, or if i feel like the terminator is just a better handling Lightning haha.
"What is in this for me!??" you may ask. I am willing to offer a ride in either vehicle that I own and throw in a heaping dose of "good conversation with a fellow SVT enthusiast in person rather than online" in return!
I live in mendham (right near morristown) and im willing to drive a little to meet anyone that will take me for a ride in their car/possibly let me drive it. Shoot me a PM or reply if you're interested.
