Well I figure I need to update this thread, I will make a new thread with better pictures of both my cars. but I have had my terminator for almost a week now. the body really is in perfect condition as is the rest of the car. I fixed a few small things that were bugging me, but I spent the weekend really enjoying the car.

It really is a perfect Terminator and will only be better with an RXT and TVS. I regret not trying to pick this car up. Ray, cant wait to see the next toy, I had a feeling it was going to be a C6 hahaha

Feedback on the terminator vs. the GT500?

Thanks guys,
I love how raw the terminator is and it's a blast to drive. The Shelby is a purpose built highway monster. It will do 60 to 160 in the blink of an eye lol. It really is comparing Apple's to Oranges. The Terminator is surprising stupid fast for a ported Eaton car and the exhaust is just insane lol. When you're in the Shelby you don't realise how fast the car is till you look at the Speedo. Overall yes the Shelby is the dominant car in almost everyway. But as crazy as this might sound, the terminator is more fun to drive. But I don't think I could pick one or the other. That's why I bought both lol. I'm truly grateful to finally be at a point in my life to own my 2 favorite cars.

Rock solid to hear. What a great pair to have in the garage. To drive the cobra or the shelby....such a hard choice!!

Nice find!

To me, my 2013 feels like it's purring like a kitten at 100+mph, compared to my past SN95 mustangs at that speed.

One thing I loved a lot more about my previous 03 terminator was the exhaust sound. I haven't heard any 5.0, 5.4, or 5.8L come close to touching the sound of my 03 w/Borla Stingers + Bassani X.

You truly are very fortunate to own both. I also know what you mean about the Terminator being more fun to drive. It's not as polished, overall, as your Shelby. But that brutish ride is SO much fun. Enjoy both of those hot rods. :)

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. I love coming home to see them both sitting in the garage. The cobra failed emissions today, so I need to figure out what needs to be done to get her passed.

Dyno comp is going retune the cobra and they will get all the monitors to say passed.

Funny i had the same issue when i bought my 03 last year. Ended up going with another tuner, but picked up my x4 from Dyno Comp. talked with the owner and seemed like a down to earth team/shop.
