I remember in 2003, I was 23. I heard a supercharged whine somewhere in the back as I was driving on New Jersey Turnpike, and suddenly it blew by me. It was a Yellow Terminator with the signature whine. I cannot describe that feeling as it passed me. It is THE MOST ICONIC car to me. You nailed it! The terminator is theatrical.

[@Llggd]

I used to own two wrxs. One was stock and the other stage 2. Both were quick from a dig and the stage 2 one got going when the turbo spooled fully. I own a Grand Prix GTP comp g after and old lady totaled my stage 2 wrx. It was cheap and I wanted a fast car but at a small price since my insurance screwed me over. I realized right away that I had instant torque and more power than both of those cars. It's modded too and I have embarrassed a big turbo golf R and an Evo X in it.

It was build #35 I came on KZbin just to hear that scream, although I don't why I'm punishing myself. He absolutely refuses to get another fast car. He says he doesn't trust himself - someone challenges him at a stop light and he couldn't say no. We've both been driving almost 50 years already, I'm just major bummed he doesn't think he can learn from his mistake. I miss driving it too!!!!!! I still have our 03 6 cyl but it's an automatic.

[@braddfordy]

@0nes And Zer0s yea i daily drive my cars and the interior was definitely cheap and horrible but did she sound awesome lol

[@AdrianRivera-rt4ce]

@0nes And Zer0s true, it has the same design interior as a 1994 mustang v6 model, but the engine and the outside of the car is what makes the car stand out.

[@sassiitalytours]

@@braddfordy These older cars are way cool, but you're right about how far the more modern cars have come. I had a Fox body with everything thrown at it, cage, big Brembos, built motor...and as cool as it was, you could go rent a new GT with station wagon tires from the local Budget or Hertz this afternoon and be faster around a track and in a straight line. The new cars are just light years ahead of what we drove 20yrs ago. Man I'm old :).

my two dream cars are a 97 Toyota Supra twin turbo black, and a 03 cobra black

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

The car was/is a beast. For 2003 and 2004, there was nothing like on the street it in my opinion. A super capable car in stock form that became an absolute monster with just a few modifications. And without even seeing the car, when you hear the exhaust of that modular V8, you know its a Terminator Cobra. Its a beautiful thing to see a 15 year old car run with a new coyote. Snappin' necks and cashin' checks. I wanted a Termi back in the day and I'd love to have one right now.

[@r0bz420]

Wish I still had mine. 1997 with a 5.4 swap and tremec-tko 6 speed. It's still out there somewhere in New Mexico. You have to try a Cobra-R(2000), even though naturally aspirated you will love it.

Wrong. Its all about what makes it go...

[@ares7738]

@@alexyoungberg5232 The appeal is definitely in what makes it go. As a car guy, I can appreciate the terminator engine. But I get what OP is saying.. When your idling at a stoplight, you may think "damn that 4v v8 with a big ole supercharger sounds reallll nice right now." But, when your slamming the gas on the highway and pushing the hell out of it, all you can think is "WOOOOO SUPERCHARGER WHINE YEAAA WOOOO YEEAAAA AMERICA WOOOO" and at that point it just becomes an absolute experience, that as a true car guy you wont forget. And you wont remember the feeling of thinking of all the parts in your engine at the time, you'll remember the rush of adrenaline you felt as the surge of torque threw you back in your seat. You'll remember how everything slowed down and just kind of clicked. Adrenaline, relax, clutch in, right hand, next gear, clutch out, adrenaline again. It's an absolute surreal feeling that doesn't come from thinking about that parts, but using them. But what do I know? I'm just a bored car guy drooling over old v8's on youtube at 1 o' clock in the morning.

That signature jolt when you get into high speed is so nostalgic for me. The first and only time I got to feel that (and I've been in many other speeding cars) was when I was about 6. Thanks Uncle Pat lol

[@Mr.Robert1]

My only Ford was a new 2003 Cobra. That's why I searched for a video. I drove the car like a complete Maniac for 3 years I did not do any modifications but exception of some window tint and a little bit of exhaust work. I loved everything about that car I wish I kept it but I didn't.

[@390fe451]

They were rated at 390hp 390tq stock from Ford (Crank). They also cost $10,000 more than a GT. It was ALOT more! You got what you paid for since it was a car WAY ahead of its time but it was EXPENSIVE! Freshen up the brakes like you said and put them on equal tires and I'd put that Cobra against a 6spd 18GT anyday.

[@marlostanfield1087]

Lorne Mann I own a 03 Terminator with just a smaller pulley, exhaust, & tune.. easily taken down 14 and newer Coyotes.

[@JPIndustrie]

eh I'm def all nostalgia about this car but I would still rather be in a 2018 GT PP2 + all the trimmings for every day

[@sliknik1025]

Really doubt just brakes and tires would make it handle as good as 18 GT, even a base model. But shouldn’t be far behind. Both great cars.

[@sliknik1025]

Marlo Stanfield smaller pulley, exhaust and a tune in the Terminator would give it more power than a Coyote so it’s no surprise. Plus it’s lighter if I’m not mistaken.

Street - have a Whippled s550 now and absolutely agree. The s550 may look better but I hate these new touch screens and other bullshit. Just give me knobs for heat/AC and radio. Touch screes are slow and I have to look at what I'm doing. Old school was better.

My brother swapped an 03 termi engine and trans into a 2000 GT mainly because the 8.8 live rear axle for strength. His 4.6 4 valve has ported heads, built rotating assembly, cams, removed the supercharger and went with a sullivan intake and a big single turbo. It runs pretty well and on 26psi and E85 it makes 980.... Those 4 valve cobra engines r great

[@bigcheese2987]

I bought my terminator this year in September. 03 torch red, had 37,000 miles on it, I had been wanting to buy one for the last 10 years. It's amazing to drive. it turns heads anywhere and everywhere I go. Everything you have said about driving this car in your videos is bang on. I have said it before and I'll say it once more, I will sell my soul before I ever sell this car.. its amazing to drive and truly an honor to be able to say, I own this car.

[@Djuane]

Its held its value because its a mustang with forced induction from the factory simple 😂

[@r6master69]

And only 20k of them made maybe 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@Overtorange]

Let's not forget the fact that it was one of the first Mustangs to include IRS. It was also one of the first to include a six speed manual.

Big Yoshi also can’t forget that it’s the must durable engine Ford has ever made with pushing 1000 on stock internals and it being completely fine

[@mantastotoraitis6865]

not true first gen gt500 was force induction as well now they almost match the price of the terminator. I think the real reason is they nailed the look with the tweaks they made , internet fame, and the weight made it feel more raw with the driving experience instead of heavy weight being pushed by more hp like the cars of today.

Car still had the original tires on it when I got it. Why did I want a Terminator so bad? I was at the Chicago Auto Show in February 2002, when O. John Coletti and John Scarpello roasted the rear tires in McCormick Place. I said right then that I was getting one one day (I was a broke college kid at the time) and 13+ years later I got one. It left that big of a mark on me that I had to have one and it only took 13 years. Thanks to my wife for letting my sell my Ford Fusion Energi (that was a year old) for my 2003 Cobra.

Nice. The only mods on my '03 Cobra 'vert are 3.73 gears, MGW shifter and custom pulleys. Stock crank and blower pulley. I ordered the car from the factory and picked it up on September 30, 2002. The SVT team took it off of the line and track tested it. I have the certificate certifying that they had done this and also a certificate of the mileage that they drove it. It's been a great car since then, supplanting my '99 Cobra 'vert as my long distance vacation cruiser until I bought my new 'vert in 2012. Never any trouble with any of them. Great cars, all.

My dad has a '96 Mustang Cobra and it's great. It may not be a terminator, but it's a lot of fun. Wish he'd drive it more though. The car just broke 10k miles. It's still on the factory tires so it can be a little scary to be in at times but most of the time it's just a lot of fun.
