What It's Really Like To Build a Terminator Cobra In 2020

[@JordanSVT]

I feel like your experience with building a Cobra is a little unique because of all the silly little problems you run into. I feel like other Cobra owners don't have these issues 😂 at least not as much. But it's cool to see where the Cobra has come. I remember saying 2020 would be the year that you'd get to do these cool mods with the Cobra but then Covid hit and I thought it wouldn't happen. But it did happen! You got the engine, cams, a whipple. Can't wait to see where the build goes next. Also, why no ads on the video?

[@Jordancraigmiller]

It should have ads, no idea why it would, it is monetized. Thanks man! It’s been a crazy year for sure.

Man I miss my Terminator. Torch red 03 cobra was my first car, I owned it for 12 years. From bone stock to ported/E85/solid axle swap and a bunch of other stuff was a fun journey. I’m glad people are still enjoying these cars. I had the steeda tri-ax with an UPR adjustable clutch quadrant/firewall and loved it for racing. It was quite notchy and not the smoothest for low rpm shifting but up top it shifted better than any of my friends cobras/mustangs.

[@Magnasynn]

Also my car has 126K miles and your car gives me such inspiration.

[@The_NJG]

The 03'-04' Cobra is my dream car. 2004 is the year I was born, I feel a connection to it.

[@josephpetruccio7306]

I’m building a Marauder so I’m saving this for the future. Thanks for your struggles so hopefully I don’t have to

[@JustinHollandFitness]

I’m ready for a ride. And Hose clamp is what you need. Keep these type of vlogs coming consistently and it’s only a matter of time before the algorithm picks you up more. 👍🏼

[@Jordancraigmiller]

I can see it now “blind man vs 700 horsepower terminator cobra.” Haha! Let’s go

[@JustinHollandFitness]

Jordan Miller yes sir. Your car is still the fastest I’ve been in and now she has a cam, whippple, and 150+ more hp!

[@Bloodreign137]

Always one thing after another but every time you’re getting closer and closer to having her done!

[@jamespruitt8965]

I really want an 03 Cobra. I'm used to driving a coyote but I love the raw sound and feel of the cobra. But it seems like based on the few people I've talked to they have a lot of problems. Or is it just isolated. You're thoughts?

[@manningyveseldon2604]

Dude I love it when you get upset about the car it's funny.

[@troypaukovits1739]

Jordan would you expect less raspyness wiith an off road h pipe vs your x pipe? Asking because im debating about installing ataks and i already have an off road h on the car.

[@pingpong4016]

Less raspy would be H pipe for sure.

[@robj7638]

I first saw this car on ThatDudeinBlue. It inspired me to buy borla atak for my ‘03 lol. Clean ride 🤙🏻. What cams are you running and what gen whipple? I’m currently looking for a whipple kit and intake manifold to put on mine. Pulled the motor out and doing a complete rebuild.

[@Moe1985]

Bought a Cobra, already tuned. Dyno’d @613whp, wanted to re-dyno tune it, it made 643whp but I feel that with the old tune it pulled a bit stronger. My question is: does Cobras ECU learns your driving habits? Asking this because I drive the car twice every month and never at WOT, just casual cruising.

[@Jordancraigmiller]

Not 100% sure but I really Don't think it does. Haven't had any issues there, I think you probably just changed the torque curve.

[@Moe1985]

@@Jordancraigmiller Excellent point, Jordan! I’m starting to think that as well.

[@devontajohnson7491]

Right at 631whp, but I gotta say it feels faster! Thank you 🙏

[@insanekiller9256]

What do u have in the rear for suspension and gear wise and transmission? If u don't mine me asking

[@Jordancraigmiller]

As if this video the rear suspension is mostly stock. But I do have a 26 spline input shaft, RST clutch, upgraded transmission gears and transmissions was recently rebuilt. Only H&R race springs and Polly bushings on the rear end for now. Will soon be doing a full coil over setup!

[@dennisjohansson6927]

I just bought mine. 2003 cobra. 520whp. Just thinking about what the first things i should do too minimize risk. If anyone feel like they have alot of knowlage i would love to talk too some ppl

[@Jordancraigmiller]

I have full videos on that! Hold on I’ll link a few! I can tell you right off the bat, replace the fuel pumps if it has decent mileage. Do a return style fuel system or if you’re on a budget just put the kenne bell fuel brake in your fuel rail pressure sensor to keep it from busting. All cooling mods, I.E coolant expansion tank, heat exchanger, etc. I.R.S Polly bushings to prevent wheel hop, new alternator if voltage is low. Check the tune or get a tune that’s keeping the fuel tables correct at all rpms, I.e correct air fuel ratios. Get some R compound tires if it doesn’t have them already because street tires hurt people, check brakes, new pads, better pads if they’re stock. There is more but thats what I’d recommend getting started.

2020 was probably the most unlucky year of my entire life. With my car, with my business, with everything. My advice would really depend on your goals and how you’d be driving the car.

[@JM-tj2kl]

The cars are pretty reliable, however like any car once you begin to modify there always be an issues you are chasing or "bugs" to be worked out. Doesn't mean they are bad cars we as the owners typically create our own problems in the pursuit of more horsepower!
