When I made this video, I didn’t even owned a Terminator ( Crazy I know ) I’ve loved these cars since 05-06 more less.. I do wanna apologize for the bad editing and voice over, I was learning here how to edit ✍️ Thank you guys for watching and if you like these cars I believe that you will enjoy this channel. Thanks
I own a Silver Terminator and after I installed an intake and a 2.8 pulley I ran into a Corvette Zo6 and was thrilled to pull away from him. I knew I had bought something special. I now have a Lysholm 3300 Blower making 609rwhp on the stock pulley, amazing!!!
Thanks to Coletti we've enjoyed the absolutely crazy horsepower wars of the past 20 years. These days you're not really fast unless your boosted. That's a helluva legacy. I hope he's enjoying retirement. 😉
Yup you are correct sir. The “new edge” is due to the edges added to the sn95 platform. I still remember the day the 1999 Mustang Gt was released. It was such a different “modern” looking mustang I remember thinking 😆 And that statement was true! It’s a timelesss body design like the Supra. Like ahead of its time!
03BLKSNK Jerry Harris Wow man, your words truly mean a lot, I put a lot of work into this video, I just wanted to show my appreciation for the 03/04 cobras 🐍 My all time favorite car.. Thank you 🙏🏻
I remember watching that show at the beginning of the video when it was first on TV I was in love with these cars I was 19-20 years old at that time and there had never been anything like that before. The cobra went from keeping up with ls1 cars to destroying them they even took out base corvettes and with 600 dollars in mods could pull on the 20k dollar higher z06. These things were extraordinary
Justin Johnson Thanks Justin 🙏🏻 This one took some time to make, I really wanted to make sure I got the story the closest to how it really happened.. But man what an amazing story for the terminators, really a car that was a Pioneer for its time and how the ls1 would’ve never been able to compete with them even if they wouldn’t have cancelled them in 2002.
Coming from someone that sold his 01 Lightning a decade ago... get buried with them both lol. Even today, I get chills when I hear that eaton screaming. I would seriously take a low miles Termi over a Ferrari at this point in my life. It's a bit irrational and a little obsessive, but it's the truth.
@@TheMGChannel you're welcome! Really enjoyed it! John Coletti is one of my automotive heroes, I just wish he'd come out of hiding and talk more publicly about the Termintors and how theyve faired over the last couple of decades. Just be interesting to hear his thoughts.
Sweet83GT Yes I couldn’t agree more, he should definitely talk about the terminators it would be amazing to hear from him in his words, the development and everything they went thru to build this legendary machine.. There is a book about the development of the terminator that goes into detail about it call “iron fist, led foot” it covers the story about the terminator in depth..
Josh Shepherd Thank you so much 😊 the 03-04 Cobras have always been my favorite cars, and the story of this car it’s amazing as well, I tried my best to recreate it, so I’m glad I’m able to share it 🙏🏻
The MG Channel my favorite cars also finally got my dream cobra last year 10th coupe with 13,000 miles on it... I remember them new being 14-15 years old going to the ford dealership every weekend just to see them
03BLKSNK Jerry Harris Thank you for your kind words, I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I put a lot of effort into making this video, I sometimes go back and rewatch it for fun. The Terminator definitely has a unique and a very special story
I just added a 04 torch red cobra to my mustang collection with just 29hundred original miles.Original paint and tires.Bone stock with just mufflers changed that is it.The only thing that I will do is full exhaust and maybe lower it.Nothing else. I know I can make it a very fast car but no need I have a gt500 and 2 super snakes.
The story of the Terminator goes back much farther than the 99 cobra, even back to the early 90’s when the Probe was almost called the mustang. The book “Iron Fist, Lead Foot” by John Coletti himself, details the Terminators development. It was actually originally slated for the 6.8 V10, but when it couldn’t shake the SVT Focus in SVT’s annual test/cruise, they scrapped the V10 idea, went back to the 4V 4.6, and set an M112 Eaton on top of it that they were having great success with on the Lightning. Both the 99, and 01 cobra’s were released because the Terminator wasn’t finished.
Wasn't they also considering the 5.4 4v na for a while? I swear I remember reading about that in mm&ff when they were talking about the new improved cobra that was on its way. Similar to the 2000 r.
Guys let’s look at the facts on this post. Car and Driver said the Terminator was quicker then the Corvette coup, Not the Zo6. 03 Zo6 would smash the Terminator all day, meaning stock cars. Nevertheless, terminator is an awesome car.
It wouldn't "smash" it but the z06 was quicker stock for stock. The cobra put down more power on the dyno than even the 02-04 z06 but also weighed 500 lbs more and had worse aero which was the difference in the race between them. With pulley and tune it could pull away from a z06 under 1000 bucks in mods.
This car is loved by the mustang community. But it seems to be underrated by everyone else. Even video games. Forza, nfs and all the other games out there never give you the option to use this game. I wish there was just one good game that gives you the option of tuning a cobra. They have far lesser cars all the time. But for some reason, they never have the Termi
Yeah man it sucks, I’ve always ask myself the same question, but in reality what happens is that they use the “best model” of each generation, so for the 99-04 Mustang they use the 2000 Cobra R because it was the track ready Mustang, with no AC, no radio a unique motor a special suspension tuning and because they only built 300 of them. That’s why you never see Terminators on video games, unfortunately. I would rather see a Terminator over a 00 R all day but they don’t agree.

Wow Amazing 🙏🏻 What year Z06? I just recently bought a Terminator Cobra 🐍 I’m in love 😍 lol
Never heard of that blower for terminators. I know they made the blower on the Ford gt but it was like a 2.3. That's pretty sweet.
My dream car.
Everyone gives props to Shelby (RIP) and well deserved but John Coletti deserves so much credit and respect for creating the Terminator.

1999 Cobra 🗣 “ But I have amber tail lights!”
😂
These Cobras have attained the most street cred of any other car.

This has to be the best Terminator Cobra video to date I've seen
03BLKSNK Jerry Harris Wow man, your words truly mean a lot, I put a lot of work into this video, I just wanted to show my appreciation for the 03/04 cobras 🐍 My all time favorite car.. Thank you 🙏🏻
They said they made 390 hp, but it was really about 425 hp/370ish whp.
Yes they were definitely underrated from the factory
I love my 2004, so much fun to drive.

Yes, you are 100 percent correct. No one at the time had ever seen anything like that from a mustang.
How much psi are you running?
cobra owner: yes
Great video.

Great video man I own a 04 cobra and 01 lightning both are great vehicles and will have them till the day I die. SVT FOR LIFE
MIKE J Awesome 👏🏻 man, must be nice to have them both

Josh Shepherd Wow congrats 🎊 13k is a brand new car .. You should make a video of it, I would love to see it..
Wow, as a cobra fan I could say this video is super detailed. I love it 👌
Yes it was very detailed, very 👍 .
I'd like more ~say~
°98 saleen s351? maybe🙂
Thanks for this video, it made me smile. I wish I got a coupe instead of a convertible. But she's a Terminator

Gerald Sanders awesome man I enjoy hearing that, Thank You
03 Terminator, I’m glad I own one

Felix Serrano Awesome car no doubt

I want a termi soooo bad!!!!
Competition Orange preferably 👌🏼
Hericane Survivor46 04 Competition Orange is one of my favorite colors as well for a termi 👍🏻 really hard to find too
I had never imagined a car painted orange would look good until I saw the Terminator and was hooked by that car color combination.
Best fucking video on TH-cam!

Your cover photo is a friend of mine
Excellent video!
No one else mentioned the Obama and Hillary war room pic hidden in the videos
Thanks man! Yup in 2011 good eye
🔥🔥🔥
There is NOTHING about a convertible that conveys a single thought of performance. I can't even fathom why someone other than a girl would want one.
