Gotta sell the terminator, need advice

[stangboy86]

I'm thinking $10k or so. I could do the ol' bathtub full of ice routine and just take someone elses and sell it. Maybe I'll sell a kid or 2 on ebay. The sky's the limit, you just gotta think outside the box.

dont take my idea but i wanted to sell my whole life on ebay... house, cars, lawnmower, clothes, furniture, even the dog for the right price. for only 10k i think ill keep the kidney though. with my luck they'll try to say something is wrong with it and want a refund.

I will give you 29.95 for one Kidney. LOL

Good luck on the sale, sorry to see your white vert go. I hope things pick up for you soon.

it kills me too being i own a "bad ass foxbody pushing 500 hp" with 4 lug and stock brakes. i guess i was just more worried about getting there than i was about stopping. as far as four lug... whats the problem??? its not like you need five lugs for anything other than sub 8 second runs(which you need a lot more than 500hp for) or for more wheel choices. truth is its just a money thing. it was "put nitrous on the car, or buy brakes". what would you have done? then again after looking over my receipts from last year, with the $750 i spent on filling my nitrous tanks over and over again, i could have bought aerospace brakes. but id just rather be fast, since i cant afford to do both.... yet. if you are like me, your car is never done, and there is a reason for everything if you are serious about foxes go here www.corral.net. you WILL find what you are looking for.

Well, going 5 lug really does not matter, just gives more wheel choices but the brakes are important. I had a 93 back in 94 with the standard for the day bolt on parts and I know from experience that one slow down from 120 to 40 will get the brakes smoking and hardly working. The cobra's come with decent brakes but could always use better pads. I'm not much of a drag racer but I like the mountain roads so the brake department is important to me. Do you have 500 hp with the drums in the back?

yup... and it sucks. i agree with you... i just never had the funds for quality brakes. its not by choice.

I checked out coral.net and the do have some decent rides for the range I am looking.

Sounds like stang boy needs to upgrade the brakes. Since I am passing on the ZO6 and keeping the Termi I am thinking of upgrading mine as well.

yes i will if i ever get around to it... and... if i can bear to spend my loot on stuff to NOT make my car faster..LOL! seriously though... the brakes are really at thier limit. i realized it at the track when i could barely slow down at the end of the 1320. at island dragway in nj there is a turn when you exit. i though i wasnt gonna make it... then i smelled that oh so familiar smell of clutch slippage... only it was the brakes.

btw... there is no comparison between a zo6 and a terminator. and its not all just about performance... its also about attitude. id pass up a vette for a mustang any day.
