[QUOTE="Torch10th, post: 9596571, member: 15703"] I've owned both a Terminator and currently own a 2008 GT. They are worlds apart and do things well from different angles. The terminator is a sledge hammer. It's approach to speed is sheer brawn with no thought for control or precision. The S197 on the other hand is quite a bit more precise. It has the better chassis and the better suspension which means it benefits from more precise handling and better grip as well. It does lack in the power department however. Fortunately the little 3v is a pretty damn good motor. Many people push it to right around 500rwhp on the stock internals without issue. It also then benefits from having the nicer interior etc. My suggestion is to figure out exactly what you want from the car. If you simply what to go fast, get the terminator. It does it a bit cheaper and you don't have to worry about the engine as much. If you want a car that has a bit of power but drives really nice, go for the S197. Either way I don't think you'll be disappointed! [/QUOTE]
