[QUOTE="TJSwoboda, post: 7091977, member: 6882"] Someone on this board once said that stock Terminators "aren't fast." OTOH, I think a lot of ricers are born when they go from an old Buick or Oldsmobile to something like a Civic LX manual which, when winding it out would seem fast compared to what they drove before. My first car was an '81 Cutlass wagon, my second an '88 Saab 9000 Turbo. While the 9000T [i]was[/i] very fast for its day, it sure isn't by today's standards, yet to my not-quite-19 year old self that baby [i]screamed[/i] when I dropped the hammer. In short, get used to a dragster on afterburner and it's going to seem slow. Get used to a 54 horsepower '67 Beetle and then go to a Chevy Aveo and the Aveo's going to be speed incarnate. [/QUOTE]
