The car looks great, it's nice to see something built a little different. Wheels look sick on there.

I like the look of the wheels but the whole bagged part i'm not a fan whatsoever its a disgrace imo

agreed

mckpat03 · 10-31-2011, 12:33 PM

It's definitely not for everyone. It's good to see someone go in a brand new direction, though.

96Clipse · 10-31-2011, 12:54 PM

That **** really is bitchin', gotta respect somebody doing something that everyone else thinks is a "disgrace"
Whether you like the style or not regardless of "omg its a termi it needs to be all business no fun!" props go out to this guy for doin his own thing no matter what the haters say.

95naSTA · 10-31-2011, 01:30 PM

It would be a lot better if it was static..

Edit- or hydro

cmr076 · 10-31-2011, 01:39 PM

being "original" is not always a good thing. Sometimes there is a reason people dont do certain things.

**Got Insulin?** · 10-31-2011, 01:49 PM

I think it's pretty rad. I wonder how it hooks up with the bags.

I'm wondering the same thing.

Dilley · 10-31-2011, 02:28 PM

Oh i'm not sitting here saying that the guy is the devil or anything I was just saying from the opinion of a fellow terminator owner i'm not a fan

mckpat03 · 10-31-2011, 02:45 PM

Here are some things I grabbed from his thread on SVTP:

Quote:

Height preset 3 (90% of travel) For comparison's sake, that's a bone stock 1995 Mustang GT in the background.

Height preset 2 (50% of travel)

Pancaked (0% of travel)

I didn't take a pic of the full-up height, but it's higher than stock, and we know that stock ride height is absurdly high.

Quote:

I don't have a video of the car airing up, but here's one of it airing down from ride height (preset 2):
Pssshhhh! Bagged03Cobra
EDIT: That may be preset 3 in the video, looks a little too high for preset 2. Either way, it doesn't matter much because it's fun to watch!

Some other points he made:

Quote:

I'll keep short:
The car ran its best quarter mile time AFTER the air suspension was installed.
The car still handles far better than what could ever be used on public roads.
The car still accelerates far more than what is smart to use on public roads.
The car is not a race car. It spends 99.9% of its time on public roads.
The car no longer has an interference fit with speed bumps and steep driveways.
The car will not get its exhaust ripped off because it's so low. It's got air suspension, I don't drive it slammed to the ground as you see in the pics.
The car's drive height is almost identical to what it was on the coil springs, so if you saw it driving by, you'd never know it was bagged.
The air system doesn't weigh a ton. At most, it may have added 40lbs to the car, which already is a fat pig anyways.
The car will never have wider wheels and/or narrower tires. I think that would look absurd on a Mustang.
Taste is obviously a personal matter, but I think the car looks great. So does my girlfriend and our two daughters. Those are the only opinions that really matter to me.

Foolinaround · 10-31-2011, 03:03 PM

Car looks good.

Slevin · 10-31-2011, 03:11 PM

dsmbruno · 10-31-2011, 03:37 PM

I think this is legit, and the facts that he said its 1/4 mile was even better after air that took any doubts i had away of it hurting street handling/performance. Very unique and i like it alot!
