AHHhhhh Haha!! Thanks for that link moc! I don't care what they call it.. Coupe is priced at $35k?? That is music to my ears!! If they build a vert, which I hope they will.. It can be had for around $37k. Man!! $37k and running mid 12s stock... what more can a Ford fan ask for?!?!

Well my guess is that Ford will jack the price sky high. I'd say keep you car and finish it. You could build a car that would smoke a Terminator for less than Ford is asking for one. BUT, the Terminator would be new, and it would have a warrenty.

i totally agree!

Mach 1 01-19-2002 01:53 AM

Im with Unit on this one.


Wait until they actually make the dang thing before you start worrying about it.

it might not even ever make it into production.

And if if does, I wouldnt run out to buy one, because they will just come out with something better the following year. Like they did with the Lightning. Would you be pissed if you shelled out $30K for a new lightning, then the very next model year, they make many nice improvements to it? I know I would!

moc 01-19-2002 01:58 PM

I want a ride !!!!
 
i don't care when they build it ,i just want rbatson to take me for a ride hehe then i can get one to
;)

rbatson 01-22-2002 11:38 PM

No problem MOC!! :) I need to call an SVO dealer and go ahead and put an order in, I guess. I can swing it now but(hopefully) in a year from now it will be much easier for me.

If this car doesn't come through then I may shop the lightning, that is a pretty sweet truck.

Mach 1 01-23-2002 01:37 AM

The Lightning is a REAL SWEET truck. If i had the financial means, there would be one in my gargage as we speak.

GO For IT!

Just dont get the first year of the new style, as they made major improvements in the latest version.

I believe it has a different intake manifold, gearing, and a few other things that I cant remember off the top of my head. Didnt it go up like 20-30 HP rating also?

Dan the Man has one, maybe he can tell us what the deal is. Whatever happened with the lady who swiped his door? Did she pay or walk away?

Mercury 01-23-2002 04:03 AM

I believe the lightning had a 15 Hp increase. And they had changed the rear gear.

The Horse Power increase came from a diffrent MAF, and a diffrent Intercooler and Intake. I think the only thing that was diffrent about the blowers was the holes for the mounting.

As for the name of the "Terminator", I could care less what they called it. I wouldnt care if they called it the Powder Puff Princess Express Mustang. Its supercharged, Its got a 4V 4.6, It would haul A**.

I get sentimentally attached to my vehicles. I would say sell your Fox, and get the Terminator, but I dont actually know what I would do if I was in your shoes.

ALthough.....The Mach 1......Thats more in my price range. If they keep the 4V motor, and the Ram-Air, then I will seroiuisly consider selling my 2000 GT to get me a Mach 1, that is if I dont have it payed off by then. If I do, I'll just keep my 2000 GT, and see what I can do about getting me my Mach 1.

rbatson 01-24-2002 10:01 PM

Thanks for all the input guys!! It has given me ALOT to think about.

rbatson 01-25-2002 12:05 AM

TNT, you really got me to thinking of older cars and something I've always wanted. What do you guys think of this car? I've wanted one since I was a kid, a very young kid. My dad had one, I practically grew up in it.. ahhhh, memories:)

GOD, I could see me driving that!!

Mach 1 01-25-2002 12:41 AM

sweet. what is it?

a 68' Cougar would be my guess. I dont care for the vinyl top, but other than that...

I remember this girl I dated in high school. She lived in a small, modest house, with an un attached garage out back in the alley.

To my surprise, I find out her dad has a 70' cougar eliminater tucked away in there! I couldnt believe it. I never even knew the guy liked cars.

Maybe I should have stuck with her? that car could be mine today!

rbatson 01-25-2002 01:01 AM

Good guess Mach, its a 67. I searched the 68s as that is what my dad had but this 67 is as close to what I'd like as I could find. It has a 302 in it and he wants $4500. I was thinking, for the price tag on the terminator(cobra special or whatever) I could have just about all the cars I wanted in the past and 1/3 of the money to build a garage to put them in. I'd love to have a 67-68 cougar, a 89-90 XR-7, a GN and a 91 lx notch... what a garage full that would be:)

Mach 1 01-25-2002 02:00 PM

hey, when you get that garage filled up, I wanna come over and play!
