[QUOTE="P49Y-CY, post: 16609555, member: 10216"] there is another option... downgrade. not popular, and will get a lot of hate at a car show lol, but in my experience it's perfectly legit. the original radiator in my 130k vert is still going strong... however two years ago, at 58,200 miles, my coupe's radiator got a big leak in what appears to be right in the middle of the core. so, after researching and finding out that you could no longer get a true oem style replacement, i installed a cheap, chinese, generic gt radiator hoping it was gonna be okay. but now it's been over two years with more than 19,000 miles, and it keeps the car cool with zero problems - it actually even runs cooler than my oem vert. it is functional, a direct drop-in replacement, and requires absolutely no modifications to any other system (that was important to me). i drive my cars hard, every day, in the hottest area of the country. so i think that unless you are going to track your terminator at big road courses, a gt replacement will work fine for any street or strip car. fwiw here is a link to the thread i made at the time - [URL]https://www.svtperformance.com/threads/i-downgraded-my-radiator-long-read.1172966/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
