a vette may be a different story.

the weight issue of fitting isnt my concern really , its the 6'8 height that is my cause of concern.

does anyone here own a new mustang and one of the 00-04? i think the shape of the bottom of the dash gives a little more space in the older ones. but my knees were pushing on the dash of the new ones really bad.

do the terminators have "tilt" seats ? like where i could angle my seat so my knees are higher or lower ? (know what i mean?) it looks like they may be non power seats tho... im still a total newb to most things mustang.

I know the power seat in my Mach ( and 99 GT) allowed for you to tilt the seat. I have an 04 and my wife has an 06 , but I honestly never really noticed which one had more leg room.

it wasnt that the length of the legroom was the problem. it was just the design of the dash came down a little too low on the 06 for my legs. ill have to mess with the tilt and stuff and find a good fit. even on the gto which i fit in great took a little time to find the perfect position.

I have a seat rail extention on my driver's seat and it's amazing how much extra room it gives you.

yeah 4 inches is a lot... especially when i was just barely too tall to fit in the stuff i sat in. head room shouldnt be a problem, i actually look shorter than some of my friends (who are my size or a little smaller) when we are all sitting down.

but im still up for taking rides.

I have seen them there before , but I think they may of pulled it from their website cause I can't find them now. I do know that Lou is able to get them if you need a set.

**Sonic03snake** · 01-29-2007, 12:59 PM

Yep, I sell the seat rail extenders for 48.95 per seat. Beware of RPM Outlet, do a search on the Better Business Bureau site before you buy anything from them.

X2, RPM outlet FTL. They are definately not the best to deal with.

**axles of evil** · 01-29-2007, 02:26 PM

and what is the cubic inches of the 4.6 liter? 289 ? i know all the GM measurements, but never had to go smaller than 5.0 (302 ford 305 chevy)

**BoneCrusher** · 01-30-2007, 01:22 AM

I'll give you a ride in mine. Come over, jump in and we'll drive to a dealership that has a terminator for sale and by the time we get there you'll walk in and buy one on the spot.

There is no comparison between the 03-04 cobra and any GTO unless you don't like gobs of power easily attainable.

I have a 2.76 pulley and a ported eaton (with supporting mods of course). Here's what that got me:

thats a lot of power with very little work... to get that out of the gto id have to go with a twin turbo setup for about 6500 bucks. then install and tune it all. then the motor would fall apart eventually bc its not forged. and id need hardened pushrods, valve springs. lower compression (if i want it to last) etc etc....

id be glad to go for a ride sometime. riding to a dealer with a terminator around here may be a long drive , i havent seen hardly any. but i just started looking.

haha, i'm in no way trying to start a war here, but u better search a little more before you become another ill-informed mustang owner... I 100% respect the cobra and the power it puts out ( i mean, i absolutely love the sweet sound of the blower), but don't fall into a trap... if you would go with the newer LS2 goat, a properly tuned head/cam setup (along with full boltons obviously - you'd be stupid to not do that) will net you 500 for sure... granted, i dont think you can skimp on cam size, you gotta get a manly cam, but isn't that the best part?!?!? 500 or so would probably be ur limit tho, unless u go with a rediculously large cam, or a rediculously expensive set of heads
