Thats my doc martin to the left of the photo. She's not the fastest but I've taken down a couple Nike's with her.
Hmmm?
Would have been an 04, maybe an 05 as it was Sept. I've seen a few run high 14's when driven right. From all of the Magazine tests I've read this is about what to expect. Makes sense...no matter how "dumbed down" for America the Audi is, it is still a German, Autobahn engineered car. High speed cruising is a normal fact of life over there. Gearing and good aerodynamics make for some long legs.
Just checked out some pics. 05 for sure. 3700 lbs, 335hp/310tq, 6 speed Triptronic Auto and good aerodynamics. Bad Ass ride!
Hmmm?
...I like to think of this as a People with an LS forum to talk about anything somewhat car related rather than just a strict LS forum. We all know each other pretty well and it's good to see something different every now and then.
I still own my LS and this is the only place I post for the most part
Post on LS1.com. I'm getting tired of hearing about your Goat. Goats (1st and 2nd generation) are easy to beat with Terminators.
Then don't read it, like I just said. LS1GTO.com is a good site.
Forged internals and a S/C will give you a little advantage huh. Try putting forged internals and an S/C on an LS1 or LS2 and see how easy it is.
The GTO doesn't come equipped like that, does it ?
So, that's really not relevant how you could modify a GM product. With the Terminator, all you need is a smaller pully and a tune to gain a lot.
But lets be honest here... as good as the 03-04 cobra's are (and they are great cars), for straight line performance, you've got much better options out there now (namely the GT500, new camero if it ever comes out, and the challenger).

mods on terminator
- pulley swap + tune
- drag radials
- CAI
mods on family sedan
- drag radials
Stock to stock on a 6.0L goat, I think the match up is pretty good. But lets be honest here... as good as the 03-04 cobra's are (and they are great cars), for straight line performance, you've got much better options out there now (namely the GT500, new camero if it ever comes out, and the challenger).
Hell, I bet once they start putting those direct injection twin turbo V6 powerplants (EcoBoost right?) into cars, that 03-04 cobra might be disgraced by a factory 6-banger with nothing more than some tuning.
Sad but true... Oh well, I'm still buying an 03-04 cobra convertable within the next year or so!!
your ford fanboyism is showing
I was chosen to moderate a "mustang" site for a reason... I know my sh!t and I am not for either side... I love all cars equally, imports, domestics, ford, GM... and sometimes dodge (cough cough)
with this being said I probably know the inside and out of the said 4.6L DOHC modular engine before you could even make a gesture to talk about it, and with that being said you probably think you could take a terminator and push 750PSI through it because the shortblock is forged... on the contrary, a stock terminator can only push around 14PSI coming from stock due to heatsoak on the stock eaton... any more than that and you are asking for something to let go...
and your arguement makes no sense either... like all ford fanboys you talk about aftermarket mods and not talk about the cars at hand (ricerish if I do say so myself), so going off of the arguement you layed out for me lets say a terminator swapped to a 14 PSI pulley and got a tune (good for around 75-80RWHP if properly dyno tuned).... now for the same money said person B can get a LS2 GTO and give it a hearty cam and still run right next to it all motor... IDK your grasping at aftermarket support is sort of funny, both cars are great cars and I love terminators, I adore them even more than the GT500 due to the fact the GT500 is a tank and is actually more work making it go fast than the terminator.... but stock eaton on the pint sized heat exchanger combined with your mindset equals one wrecked car
also the LS2 motor can hold up to around 550-600RWWHP given the proper cooling mods (meth, heat exchanger, etc, etc)
unless you have any other fanboy nugget of inspiration you would like to try to cough up?
you act like I'm some GM punk that doesn't know anything, when in actuality this 21 year young kid probably knows more than you and is far more mature about it.
both cars are very equal and deserve respect... but because you own a terminator you feel the need to shake your balls around like you have something to prove, the person in me is ammused... but the psycologist in me tells me you are threatened ;-)
