How many do you have now?

What made you fall in love and switch.

Either way, welcome. I'd only pick up a terminator.

So you went from a KB Terminator to a '94 Z/28 and you think you've somehow upgraded?

I'm not talking **** on Camaro's whatsoever, but I'm sure everyone will agree with me when I say that sounds pretty ridiculous.

Doesn't that have the LT1 in it? LOL

He doesn't have a Terminator, he has a '98 Cobra. At least, that's what I think he said.

Post some 'pics of the Cobra!

Yes, HUGE difference between a 98 KB cobra and a Terminator with a KB on it.

The 2.4L KB (the Blowzilla) was specifically made for the Terminator, either way. They had the 1.7L KB and 2.1L KB for other 4V applications.

And still, blown 4V > N/A LT1 all day long... Is there anyone that disagrees?

I had Mustangs for 10 years too, last was a triple black Cobra 'vert that was BEAUTIFUL. Once my kids got old enough so I didn't need a back seat I got a Z06. I've been going up in horsepower ever since!!!!!!

I had Mustangs up until 1999 when I got divorced and wanted another car (to celebrate). The 94 Formula had almost 300hp, a 6 speed and aluminum heads stock. Just couldn't justify getting another Stang. I still have the Formula, with a few extra "ponies" under the hood now. Mods for the LT1 are cheap and have a good return compared to the modular Fords IMO.

I'm all about the lsx, but that Terminator is just what the name implies, but a forced induction lsx ftw. I'm getting some prices together for my car's build. Helped my uncle build up a fox body with a 460 in it. Lol.

Blah, if you are talking stock/stockish cars then sure it backs its name up. If you are serious about making a quick Lsx powered car (ie. h/c spray) then it isn't so easy to get a terminator to back its name up. They like rolls and Lsx likes the track.
