What's with the little mini air filter that looks about 2 or 3 inches big? Not the one on the air intake.

Is that the same setup as the 90s irs cougars? I had a 93, 351w 400hp with an open 7.5, the torque made both tires spin 97% of the time, never broke though 😁

@@MaverickBlue42 crankcase vent.

It also had upgraded frictions in it

@@Greywolf-mv1hx it is not the same as the cougar. I will tell you the 99-04 cobra IRS will fit any foxbody mustang with very minor modification, just needs custom springs. They'll fit I think 79-04 any mustang.

Question about your car. Did you buy the car bone stock or did it already have some mods? Or did you buy it as a salvage title? I would have a hard time cutting one of these up if I owned it factory stock, they are worth quite a bit in that condition (and rare).

@Life is better when I do something. I missed that, I was just more surprised at the amount of mods done to the subframe of this car. I can only imagine an owner would be able to sleep at night if this was salvage title and was already modified.

@@logdon17 Bought it with the subframe connectors and some really basic suspension stuff. I did the front subframe, the coil-over conversion, and a bunch of other stuff. It never was a completely clean car, it had minor mods when I bought it, but the last thing I am going to do it is a bigger blower and the supporting rear suspension mods, and fuel system.

Get that supercharger oil changed at some point too if you haven't already.

Man why are you driving that gem in the salted roads?😫

@@loafandjug321 - wtf are you talking about? you must be smoking something

@@300zx-sfy8 Back in 2003, having nearly 400 HP/TQ wasn't something to laugh at. At the time, the Pagani Zonda C12-S was the fastest thing you could buy, and it had 555 HP.

Love love love cobras💙 but all that salt is bad for cars isn't ??

@@svtk0310 it is bad but once in a while shouldn’t hurt it too much.

Weeeeeeeee 😂

Gonna have to agree w that one

I agree the Terminator is the best modern day non shelby mustang ever. I have a torch red 04 cobra with just 29hundred original miles. I bought it about a year ago for 33grand and today it's 60 grand and rising. I also have a 93cobra low miles all original also. The cobras 93 and 03 04 are going up in value every day.

I also am lucky to have a 07 427 edition convertable supersnake and a 10 900hp grabber blue supersnake. Also a 08 GT500 and a 07 shelby gt and a few other car's and honestly I think my Terminator will be the most valuable out of all my cars including my supersnakes.That is definitely saying a lot. My 07 427 convertable supersnake was priced at roughly 100 grand and my grabber blue supersnake was listed for 135grand. My point is my 04 cobra new back in 04 was 34grand.Today the way it sits with 29hundred miles on it all original. It's easily 60 70 grand and going up every second of the day. SO TRUE

Keep it man, and maybe pass it on to your children, if you have any, when they come of age.

And they say american cars are rubbish and unreliable lol I say 🖕 you to anyone who Mocks our cars. You can still see cars from 40 to 50 years ago still running.

I've been toying with the idea of selling it, but it is such an awesome car and probably the most reliable car I've ever owned!

@@jamesdolan9245 don’t sell it! Those are some of my favorite cars

I have a 93 Fox 5.0 coupe in Reef Blue Metallic (1177 produced) . I bought it in 95 and I'll never sell it as long as I can drive it. Don't sell your car you'll regret it.

Yeah I eat those cars for breakfast tbh

When new way back in the day I put the car on the dyno and it was getting close to 400hp at the rear wheels and it's stock! 😮

Wow I didn't realize in 2003 they put out that much power I had to Google it cuz at first I didn't believe it

@@jamesdolan9245 haha nice! These cars are legendary

@@kd-jj1rn Yes back in the day these cars had absolutely insane amounts of power. Even today it feels like it has way more power than the numbers would suggest. They are a blast to drive!

@@jamesdolan9245 yeah that's insane because in 2010 they had only 315 horsepower

Called out, too! Lol 😂 Poor guy is going to have a police escort to the emissions inspection station, when he crosses back over the TX state line.

I remember way back when they had a five year emission test period in my county in Florida, the threshold for passing for the 5.0 Foxbody was so lax you could gut the cats and still pass. As long as they could see they were there you were good to go.

This video will be used as evidence 🤣😂🤣😂🤔

Cats stink

You dont need cats in Texas they dont do emission testing.

Yup, this was the first car that really challenged the LS motor GM cars. Great mustangs, I still remember the sound thst Eaton charger made.

😍So true brother.

Unmistakable, especially the SN95 platform cars. Even the new ones are pretty clear.

I wish he would have mentioned that, that was a huge difference between the GTs and Cobras in 03/04. Not to mention every Mustang made before it

Exactly.

Even the 1999 SVT Cobra had IRS. Cool cars.

@@Quantanimus actually Wizard said it was the same diff as a v6 Mustang.

@@robertbeirne9813 V6s had a 7.5 solid axle with an open diff. This is an 8.8 independent rear based on the Thunderbird and Mark VIII of the era.

Hehe you seen that too.

' CarWizard'...?

I’m building a cobra now. Looking at all the goodies on my to buy list

He was like a kid on Xmas day opening a gift! Wizard bouncing up and down made my day

I highly doubt its daily driven in that condition and milage..Badass all the same for driving it on snow covered roads thou

@@trevorb7645 well yeah it's probably not any more, but 120k miles on a 17 year old car someone at some point daily drove it for at least a decade.

@@christenn32 its possible I guess. Im in Canada where the roads are salt covered shit show half the year. That car certainly hasnt seen much salt

@@trevorb7645 LOL! Hey were getting a little bit of that in the states right now. Ice everywhere. My daily is a 5.0 so I ain't going anywhere. LOL!

@@trevorb7645 license plate is from Texas , doesn’t really get cold or snow down there all that much , except for now they’re dealing with some shit now

This...

Not just v6’s, but even the gt’s this gen had a solid/live axle. The cobra was the only one with the irs.

The differential is the same, it just has half shafts instead of axle tubes. This selling point was also a huge pain if you wanted to make power, because Ford gave away all the stiffness in favor of extremely soft rubber for NVH and nice ride. Tons of problems leading to all sorts of aftermarket braces, diff covers, aluminum bushing replacements, etc. The lower control arms in particular had a tendency to deflect to the rear under launch causing significant problems. I spent more money on the rear end of my 03 Termi to get it to launch straight and not explode than I did on any other part of the car.

well the cobra did get 31 spline axles on the IRS where as the SA got 28 splines.

Me too haha!

Get that intake and supercharger

How many marks

Same

@Scotty secretly loves Chryslers 99-04 was the best. Eventhough they were built on the same platform from 1979.

@Scotty secretly loves Chryslers At least you didn't say the Mustang II

I can't get even the slightest bit excited when I hear about and see a new electric Mustang.

Love my 03 Mustang GT, sounds amazing with x pipe and flowmasters.

Back in the day a lot of Cobra owners swapped the IRS for solid axle.

@@devianb lol now all of us new edge owners are looking for the IRS. To be honest though, I'd be happy to toss any 8.8 into my convertible before I do the 3.5 eco swap

I thought the same thing when I bought mine.... I am putting the running horse back on...

Rare to see anyone that remembers the Terminator cobra even as a person that owns one. But it is very entertaining when someone reacts to remembering it. And that is a fact, they did come with the running pony in the grille from factory.

300 to be precise, killer car

@Timothy Mckee same thing when it comes to republicans

@Timothy Mckee it’s just change with some wild politics there is no threat. Edit: that’s exactly the problem there isn’t a threat for the first time in our lifetime

Term limits

@Timothy Mckee it’s still not a threat rather, you want the Chinese government to be a threat. There is no threat besides, this has nothing to do with the mustang cobra 🐍

@@greathornedowl3644 Fuck! I thought at -15 in Scotland this week that it was cold! ❄️❄️❄️

Thats still slow

I think it’s because the Supra is more unique, either turbo or not, there are so many variants of the Mustang it’s hard to stand out.

@@RawShogun because this cobra wasn’t at the center of a movie, that is literally the only reason why the supra is so popular, the Supra literally isn’t that special performance wise, it’s heavy for a Japanese car, it has average power for a 90s Japanese performance car, the 2jz is a great engine but this cobra has a greater engine and isn’t as popular so I’d say it isn’t the engine that makes the Supra so popular, therefore the Supra is only as popular because it’s in fast and furious

@@nickmacias00 Thats a good point but don't act like there isn't a dozen variants of this car as well which makes it hard to stand out to non car people. The cobra probably has more street cred anyway which is why we are here.

@@RawShogun there are dozens of variants but the fact is the terminator is only two years 03-04, you can tell it looks different than a typical GT, my point is when you see a terminator you know it’s a terminator if you’re aware of their existence of course, despite all the street cred that the terminator has, there’s still a lot of people who don’t know about the terminator, I’ve come across plenty of Japanese car guys and even other american car guys who think it’s “just another clapped out 90s mustang” but literally everyone knows about the supra, it’s iconic, but why? Because of fast snd furious not because it’s a unique looking car, there’s plenty of unique looking cars that aren’t nearly as popular as the supra because they aren’t at the center of the most popular car movie franchise in history, the same exact thing can be said about the 1970 charger, it isn’t any better or anymore unique than other 70s muscle cars yet it’s easily the most valuable one now

@@nickmacias00 absolutely right you got it spot on... and the hype only continues to grow like 12yr olds thinking the R34 GT-R is the fastest* car in the world :/

Sorry, but no they weren't. The 1999 thru 2004 COBRA Mustang got IRS, but not the other New Edge models. The Mustang got IRS across the whole line in 2015.

Cobras.

@@blmb047 Yes, you are correct. I didn't think cobras was in his original statement, but I could very well be wrong about that as well.

@@kenevans8959 his comment said all COBRAS. Not all mustangs

Yeah, seems like a pretty major omission for a regular road car to not have them? A bit strange Wizard didn't follow up on that?

lmao

That's really not even that bad. We usually don't have bad winters where I live but for the past 4 days, everything has been frozen here after a bad ice storm. I'm not really anal about it but my car is usually clean when the weather permits and it probably looks as bad as this one right now. It would be worse if I was commuting every day.

That's nothing. Cars here in Maine look 10 times worse than that during the winter.

Well thanks for the weather report!

How long ago did you sell it?

I’m glad I sold mine. I got an electric one and it womps on the old gas one

They must have only hit humans.. not objects

Until the newer ones anyways.

Do you like men ?

yeah Ford seats suck...most just swap em out even though the seats in that car are very desirable

Yeah that was during the era where the instrument cluster, window switches, signal /wiper stalk, steering wheel, and dash/door panel appearance all were identical or super similar between the Mustang, Taurus, F150, Expedition, Windstar... the whole damn lineup...! and when you went over to Lincoln and Mercury you saw the more of the same stuff! I'm so glad car companies got out of doing this. Ford and GM were so bad at it. I look back at it with nostalgia,, but at the time it made me angry!

Dashboard creak

I kinda like the bad interior to be honest. It adds character, this car wasn't about having a nice interior with tech and creature comforts. Its bare bones and it's simple, I like that about it.

@@JordanSVT what's amazing is the best stock seats came in the 93ish GTs...in my 96 cobra the leather died long ago...I have Sparcos, they are quality and comfort. Temi's have that damn head tick issue, but after that yeah it's the one most of us want.

that'd be it mine did the same thing before I replaced it
