[QUOTE="Corbic, post: 16424562, member: 171475"] Fixed that for you.... It's New Car vs Old Car, and if you're just looking for refinement and innovation, the 350 will be outclassed in 5 years. The Terminator, at its heart is a 1979 Fox that's spent way to much time in the gym snorting coke and shooting steroids. It's a throw back to a bygone era. It's chalk full of design compromises, ergonomic issues and is basically an over powered, under braked wet noodle, but all of that adds to the charm. I've never driven a 350, but I'm guessing it's a 120% S550 GT. The S550 is a long departure from the Fox cars and for me is more comparable to a BMW in terms of drive and sound. It finally achieved "full sports car" and is why a Challenger sits in my driveway and not a S550 or 5th Gen. There is also a monstrous price difference. I don't think Terminators are ever going to get cheaper, I do suspect 350's will eventually come down. I'll be curious if they end up like the 96-98, 99/01 cars in terms of price and desirability now that we have a GT500 again. Is a GT350 $40k more fun then a Terminator? Is it $40k more fun then a used base S550? [/QUOTE]
