Have you had any issues with yours dying when you come off of a load? My idle will lope when I’m not on the throttle especially when coming to a stop sometimes it will catch itself but many times it will die. It always starts right back up. I heard other say there could be an update to the ECM so I had that done at Ford but it didn’t change anything. No check engine lights or any other issues that I can see.

[@KyleSVT]

maybe your air idle control valve needs cleaning or replaced?

[@fatkat311]

@@KyleSVT hey, I appreciate your quick response. This was already replaced. It didn’t make a difference. If I find out what it is, I’ll be sure to return and comment. Thank you.

One of the best cars I have ever driven. Damn, the stick, the supercharger, the exhaust, you actually feel like you are part of the car. I can still imagine my feet as I downshift giving a quick little rev and throwing it back in gear. One of my favorite parts of driving this car. This car needs no music, it has its own soundtrack.

[@Ghxstei]

You had to watch a KZbin channel to get you into new edge mustangs? It took that much? All it took for me was sitting at a stop light and a sonic blue Terminator rolling up and driving right in front of me...a 3 second interaction ruined me! Lol. All joking aside, it's great to hear people still love the New Edge and especially the Terminator.

one of the best sounding cars ever made. i was in love with these when i was young. no fancy shit. just basic controls a steering wheel and hella juice.

[@Shillmehowtolive]

I have driven two of them. They exceeded my expectations. One of the most fun and engaging vehicles ever produced. This is coming from a Mopar guy.

[@jebwatson]

That first pull onto the highway was a thing of exquisite beauty. Like angels singing! Huge grin on my face :)

[@DrBIeed]

I’ll never forget the night dad and I test drove mine. I was thinking about getting a Mach 1 and the dealership that had it was being an ass about the trade in and jacking up the price on it. One night my mom and dad got into it and so dad was like they’ve got one of those new supercharged Cobra’s over at another dealership, let’s check it out. Long story short took the Cobra for a test drive. Got out on the interstate and let it have it. Immediately dad was like “You know after this you will never be happy with that Mach 1.” 😂 This October will be 22 years of ownership. 😁 Loved every minute. The wonderful thing about this car is you can put cat-back on it, Stingers in my case, without doing anything else to it and it sounds like you’re driving a stock car with a blower on it.

[@zr1daddy14]

I sold my 2003 terminator and bought a 2013 GT500. Both amazing vehicles but the terminator was just pure raw power and it felt so damn good!

[@hhaste]

Terminator with IRS to the GT500 with a SRA almost seems like a downgrade. Do you enjoy the GT500 more?

[@jaybomb5022]

​@@hhasteHave you driven one? There's a reason the bullit kept a solid axle for the track pack.

[@03cobra4]

Music to my ears. Took delivery of my 1st one back in 12/02, but had to sell within about a year. Got my 2nd, 03 DSG in 2012 with only 15k on it, 100% stock (never pullied). Just did a tune, exhaust, intake and springs, along with AFS chrome replica 18s. Daily drove it for two years. Drive it once in a while now. Sits at 50k miles. Turns heads whenever I take it out. Favorite car of all time, not even close.

[@B_r_i_n_k]

This has to be one of the best videos I've ever watched. The first word that comes to mind is "peaceful". No talking, no music, just engine, exhaust, and that beautiful supercharger whine. Thank you.

When the 03-04 cobra came out i was 17-18 years old and absolutely fell in love with that sound! To this day it is the most unique sounding mustang you will ever hear from its time!

Great video. My uncle Brad bought an '03 Mustang Cobra Terminator brand new in 2003. In 2004 he let me drive it. I loved it. I recall how I could get the back end to step out sideways even on hot asphalt in Phoenix. I loved the whine of the supercharger. I also thought the signatures on the motor were neat. Super cool car. He told me it would be a classic someday. He was right.

Nothin compares to the Eaton blowers in those cars man. To me they are one of the best sounding superchargers out there

[@KyleSVT]

I do love the heaton scream. The Kenneth bell 2.2 sound good too.

[@CoiledTermi]

Idk man, the 3.4 Whipple sounds absolutely mean. Wish i had the money for one, but the ported Eaton will work lol

[@midnight347]

@@CoiledTermi I think the gen3r is a badass blower. If you got it pullied fairly aggressively making at least 18-19 psi or better yet 20+ if you got fuel good enough to do so safely they also sound very good. It doesn't scream as loud as the stock Eaton because it's way more efficient but make no mistake they let their presence be known lol. I'm pushing 20 psi on my 07 gt500 with a gen3r I need to get some nice in car videos like this done. I got some with the stock m122 but haven't gotten any good videos since the gen3r. They're badass blowers that can make some big time power while fitting under the stock hood without mods. For the money the gen3r is the best blower available imo. It's great on stock motor cars and can make 1000+ on built motor cars.

[@GameOver321]

​@@KyleSVTagreed. 2 best sounding blowers.

[@adamcurrier3190]

I rode in a gently modded 96 mystic for years and I owned a 01 GT drop top and this video was an excellent reminder of what that life was like.

[@drewskeez1156]

Always wanted an 03-04 cobra as a kid in high school but couldn't ever afford one. I ended up finding an 01 bullitt and drove that for a few years until I blew it up. Did an SLP lm2 exhaust, H&R SS springs, Steeda short throw shifter with a pistol grip Hurst handle. Was a blast to drive with just those mods...especially as an 18-22 year old kid.

[@codyking4848]

The terminators were by far the coolest cars Ford ever made. Raw, visceral, extremely powerful for their day. As a teenager, a Ferrari, Lamborghini, or whatever could pass by and I'd be like "cool", but every Termi I saw was like a whole event for me, lol. Nothing else in the world sounds like that supercharged DOHC 4.6.

Considering this car is 21 years old. Still a respectable amount of hp for its time even in stock form. The only car faster, by a few tenths given the weight advantage was the corvette ZO6, which was 17k more msrp. These cars were intentionally under rated at 390 hp & torque. Recent magazine articles have tested bone stock terminators on the dyno and they consistantly produce over 400 hp and torque. The new 2024 gt is claimed to be 486hp, but on the dyno comes up low 400s. Minimal mods like a pulley can push the stock terminator motor into the 500s. The block and internals can handle 800 hp. I recommend the book "Iron Fist and Lead Foot" . About Jon Colleti, the mastermind behind Fords SVT dept and his effort to build one of the greatest mustangs in Ford history, along with his battle with Ford to keep costs down making the car more attainable for the enthusiast. It's amazing what went into the design process. From the silly shift light this car has , that was really an effort to dodge the proposed " gas guzzler tax" on high end sports cars back then , to the forged Manley rods that are nearly 10x the cost of the rods in the gt at the time. I stumbled across a black 04 convertible last summer with only 15k on the odometer. Outside of a magnaflow cat back, it's stock. That's how it will stay, as it's automotive history.
