[QUOTE="1Kona_Venom, post: 16684573, member: 101429"] ^ all good points on prior posts. I'll touch on the driving experience till you find one. Many HP Terminator owners, I know of 2, scowled and grumbled and talked shit about the 13/14 being slow and laggy. Like me, they were adapt to the low end hit of VMP power and all that that an 04 provides. I too felt the car was way overpriced for what it was. I drove 2 base models and a fully loaded PP and TP car. My point, do not anticipate a monster behind a STOCK 13/14 (3:31 gears) compared to your current setup. The solid axle is also takes some getting use to after having an IRS with FTBR etc. Pass on the Base Model. Get the Performance Pack optioned car for the electronic suspension. I have roads that are better driven in sport mode vs normal mode and vise versa. The Track Pack isn't needed. I wouldn't have paid the extra $$ You probably will want to budget for or try and get a car with the following; 3:73 gears MGW Shifter No OEM tires (very dangerous) 2.4 Pulley TB, CAI Upper and Lower Control Arms, Panhard Bar, Eibach springs Exhaust....tough with EPA now Biggest bang for the buck are the gears!
