Just did a handshake deal on a '04 Terminator -- 10k miles --- stock except a 2.6 pulley. Original owner - Keith from Nova Scotia! :rockon:

Back - in the game.

What color is it? Any pic's of it ? Is it cost effective to buy a used car that you have to ship so far ?

Thanks, Sherri - Got knocked down - not out!

Car only has 10k miles on it. Even on the original tires. (not for long - looking at some 305/17 Nittos - on some wider rear rims)

SVTKeith was the original owner. Just a 2.6 metco pulley and a 91 octane tune. Makes 450 rwhp. Going to load in a 93 tune when it gets here (JDM says 40 hp). They can't get 93 up in Canada.

Only other mod might be a rear end brace (IRS - the only weak link in the Cobras).

This one stays stock - got all I need! :rockon:

Congrats on the Terminator Ruf!

I had one back in the day, awesome car. Make sure you do the cooling mod for the cylinder heads. They had a tendency to run hot due to a design issue in the early cars. Here's a link: http://www.lethalper...ooling-mod.html

Been good. Lost my job at the bank after 15 years, took a stab at selling cars, and now I'm getting ready to start a marketing position at another dealer on Monday.

Got rid of the C6 and moved up to a Z06. Also picked up a clean low milage 2001 C5 while I was working at the dealer. Plan was to resell it and make some money off it as I bought it for wholesale but now I may just keep it.

How have things been for you?

Good luck with the new gig.

Not much going on here.

Divorced. Sold the '07. Selling my house. Renting a house with a garage. Retired from teaching. I'm now a p/t warehouse manager at a food pantry. That's about it! :hysterical:
