    It has taken me a while to pay down debt and ready myself for my upcoming refi on my home. I will be aggressively looking all around for a nice Terminator. I dont know much about car haulers, but, of course Id like to find one locally in North Florida.
    I just wanted to say it will be my nicest car ever bought and cannot wait for a deal to happen.
    After reading all the mags when the Terminator came out, then reading Frank Moriarty's book, and seeing all the streetfire videos, I am so excited to be so close to owning one. So far, Torch Red is my favorite followed closely by Competition Orange.
    It's just nice to be so close, hope to have good news in a few weeks!:D

    No! I had never driven a boosted car before I bought my Terminator. I had ridden in a few turbo and centrifugal equipped cars though and thought I new what to expect. The low end torque and grunt from a roots supercharger is completely different than the high-end rush you get from the other FI equipped cars, it's addicting and you'll love it from the very first time you drop the hammer!

    First of all, welcome to the terminator club. I was also quite anxious to get in my own and drive it. I drooled on them since Ford released them and was excited to drive it.

    I agree with U.M. when he mentioned the difference between other boosted vehicles and a positive displacement supercharger. I have driven many a turbo and the lag til 4000 rpm is horrible. You wont have that problem here.

    There are good deals to be had out there, just keep your eyes open. I looked for two months daily online until I found mine and it was worth the wait to get the deal.

    Good luck and happy hunting.
