I actually daily drove my terminator for about 2 years. Driving to work and college and it definetly holds up. Only issue it gave me during the time was the alternator went out as we all know that is what happens with these cars. Definetly not as conveniant as a more modern car but it got the job done. Now I have a daily driver and she is my garage queen.

Haters try to strip it's icon status anytime they can. It's been compared to cars well-beyond its target design and way newer that it's year of manufacture. I find this rewarding as a Cobra owner and truly telling of how iconic the platform really is. It has a reputation and street cred. I drive mine knowing that there are other models these days faster, but not by much. It's full of character and it will always have that visceral "bad-ass reputation".

@@SVTEvan that and they hold them under a modern microscope. What I mean by that is they may say "it does 800-1000 to the wheels big deal the new coyote do that too dude" and shrug it off like it's nothing completely ignoring the fact these are 20 year old car doing this and it also has a better trans than a new coyote (manual vs manual). The fact you can make that power as easy as you can make it with these just shows how far ahead of the game they truly were. In 2003 it was a super badass car and bang for the buck was out of this world. They're legendary for a reason. It wasn't common in those days making that kind of power that easily on mostly stock stuff. The coyotes are just now beginning to do what these were doing long before they existed. Everything I say about these carries over to 07 up gt500s too. Particularly the old iron block cars they're built in the same vein as the terminator and can make big power with little amount of work (considering it's an older car). Love these cars.

As far as using the gearing I use 5th alot with my 07 gt500 has similar gearing in trans but steeper 1st gear. But I also have 4.10 gears. 5th the in between gear I call it comes in handy with 4.10s around 40-55 mph I use it to keep it from lugging around it's nice for cruising with steeper gears otherwise I agree with what you said about the 5 speed.

I have a variety of cars ranging from 1964 Skylark LS swapped to an 05 GTO. I like them all in different ways. Recently purchased my Red Fire 03 Termi 18k miles all stock. I like all the cars but I find what makes the Cobra special is the rawness. It's not the same with Hellcats don't get me wrong they are nice but definitely not the same. I drive all my cars but Cobra is unique.

It's the reason the hellcat exists. Along with the zr1, zl1, ctsv, c7z06, etc. They owe their existence to this car. You could even say 07 up gt500s although that is essentially just the newer version of the cobra lol. All those cars owe homage to the 07 up gt500s too. It's amazing what they can do with such simplistic mods to be as old as they are. Very impressive cars. There is a reason they're still sought after.

Looking for my next car and I’m going back and forth between a mystichrome cobra and a boss 302. Boss 302 has much nicer interior but the cobra is just so iconic and a powerhouse
@midnight347 Жыл бұрын
Either of them are awesome and can make big power pretty easy. It comes down to if you want a more old school raw straight up muscle car type feel with the old school sound or a more exotic sports car/muscle car/ type of feel that is newer. The cobra is gonna have a notchier trans and feel alot beefier in that regard I think the t56 is better than mt82 ecsp once you swap a 26 spline input...They're both great I have a 750 rwhp gen3r 07 gt500 and I'm gonna sit a boss beside it in couple years because those are badass cars. I'd like a terminator but prices are nuts and I already have something similar to the terminator w my gt500.

I really can't afford an 03-04 Cobra they're my dream cars, so I'll be trying to swap the engine & into my 04 GT. I've seen it done before paired with the Tr3650, but hard to find a terminator parting it's guts out for me lol..
@SVTEvan3 ай бұрын
I know a handful of guys who did built tr3650 swaps in their 03/04 cobras for 1/8 mile racing. The owner prior to me did the swap. Personally, I’d never have gotten rid of t56 for anything other than an auto. Down the line, the car will be getting a built auto. The 03/04 cobra was/is my dream car too. I love it, but it’s also so dated compared to my 5.0. I drove it one time last year.
@DrBIeed Жыл бұрын
I’ve owned my 03 since it was new. I remember what it was like at the time. It was shocking. I know the Viper and Z06 had been occupying the relative territory for a few years at the point but just the pallet Ford gave you from the factory. You can bolt on 700hp. The car originally stickered at 34k. I mean it was 10k less than the MKIV Supra when it came out 10 years prior. Its insane that this car existed during the time frame that it did. My only regret was not buying a second one to play around with so I could keep my original fairly stock for value sake.

The 4v could hold its own even before terminator. They went from keeping up w ls1s to walking the hell out of ls1s lol. And the potential oncee modified is another win for thterminator.

You need to get one that isn't 100% flawless and low mile get one mid miles 80-120k. If it's been taken care of its fine. Many of them were taken care of. You can tell if it wasn't it's a 20 year old car. You don't have to get a prestine low mileage example especially if you wanna mod it and drive it anyways. I got my 07 gt500 April 2020 with just over 100k clean title tasteful mods for 16500. Had minor paint chips on the front and it's not perfect it is a really nice driver which is what I wanted. You prob can't find anything near that in today's market but getting either for 25k or even less is Def still realistic as long as you ain't looking for a perfect low mile car.
