The 03 Mustang Cobra is one of the most cherished American muscle cars ever produced. The Termi is a vicious, loud, intense ride that made the SN95 Mustang generation shine the most out of all their models a the time. Most 03 cobras roaming the streets nowadays have whipple,kenne bell, or other giant superchargers modifying the terminator cobra for insane accelerations. However this time around we hop in a Ford Mustang Cobra that has only 15,000 miles,the factory wheels, the factory eaton supercharger, and is nearly flawless. So does the terminator have to be crazy modified to be nuts? Let's find out. Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much for watching guys!
Do you remember the first time you saw/heard a terminator cobra?
ThatDudeinBlue my dad use to build foxbody and he had a friend with a terminator and kennebell most beautiful sound ever
ThatDudeinBlue yeah it was your first review of Jordan's. My buddy at school told me about them and I youtube searched "terminator cobra" and you had the most promising looking video, over 4 years later, they're still my dream car
First time i ever heard a terminator in person i was pullin up to the tattoo parlor in my 91 si hatch dude with a full bolt on cobra and a sweet set of sve wheels went flying by full throttle. My chest got all tight tears came to my eyes and a big smile went up on my face i could have only imagined what it felt like to be in that car!
Now the only thing left to do is review a 2000 mustang cobra R. Found one online for 54k with less than 5000 miles on it. If I end up getting it you're the first person I'm coming to so you can review it.
Went to the dealer with my dad to pick his cobra up when I was 8, now 15 years later I have my own.
A Terminator with 15k miles?? Talk about self discipline.
I bet he paid 30 grand for the car.
@@Dee-xu1yk Probably, a coworker of mine recently paid $35k for an 07 GT500. The high end Mustangs seem to hold their value fairly well and there's sooo many editions to choose from, Saleen Roush Shelby Bullit Mach1 Cobra Foose. Some are a little harder to find than others.
@@Dee-xu1yk in the vid it says he paid 24k. But I first thought close to 30k myself
I got it with 5500 miles. The guy wanted 24k for it but he liked my 97 Cobra so we worked out a trade and cash.
I bought a 03 with 9299 miles on it 1NOV15. Paid $21k. You can find deals out there, just getting harder by the day.
I had a silver 04 Cobra, before I got married. If I had it to do over I would still have the Cobra and not be married. LOL
Steven Densmore you and me both I sure miss my 03 mg cobra
Stay strong bro!
You and me both buddy!
Steven Densmore I had a 04 silver cobra and my wife at the time (2009) pressured me to sell it. I traded it in for an 09 Scion xB. Then right after that she left. The moral of the story I should have fought to keep my cobra and let her go! Lol!. Now I have a 2012 Boss and 03 Mach 1 and will never let them go until I am ready!
@@rickeybarnes6471 Damn these bitches ain't shit and ungrateful. I got left because I didn't sell my car it was an 85 300zx, a tin can for her but a sexy classic for me. Got more looks from that car than I did being with her and it at least told me what was wrong with it and wouldn't leave no where without my concern lmao
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.
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. An unexpected sleeper with a damn good whine to go with it
It’s cool that people can keep the mileage that low but I personally never got it. I bought a sports car to drive not preserve in my garage
Right
Ok boomer
Bryson Wiley maybe it wasn’t their daily
@@jecsivelasquez8305 So original.
Bryson Wiley I never got that either. Like, you paid for it, cool. Do what you want with it. But if I buy a car for the pure joy of it, I'm gonna drive the shit out of it. Something like this? I'd put 2k miles on it in a month, easily. Something like this you preserve until it stops running. You don't let shit like this sit around.
Supercharger whine never gets old
That’s the only whine I like to hear
💯
Sounds so good
Actually it does. It's a couple of spur gears meshing together.
I don't even mind that you do the same cars, they're all different in their own way
Isaiah_ isgod amazing comment
Isaiah_ isgod every owner makes them their own.
Ever car has a story
I have had my 03 cobra for 11 years got it when I was 19 with 15,456 miles on it. Made 369 rwhp bone stock. It now has 31,156 miles on it and makes 840 rwhp I will never sell it! It’s just to much fun to drive...
how tf you managed to save up 20k that young did you not have any bills
I was an arborist. That was back when I started my own tree service, it wasn’t uncommon for me to make $4,000.00 a week.
@@dirtraptor3403 wow. I make 2k a month :(
Doing something right I guess, keep it up
@@angelgjr1999 lmfao
I bought a 03 cobra off the show room floor Sonic blue i’ll never forget the feeling driving it down the road from the dealership
That must of been awesome!
I had an 03 GT sonic blue . bought new. Loved the color. Got so many compliments
Do you still have it?
@@Kgio-2112 I just picked up a 04 Sonic Blue Mustang GT with 66k on it
QUICK NOTE
accidentally misspoke about the stock Cobra's HP. 390 crank not 365!
ThatDudeinBlue pin the comment my dudee. Love the video🤘🏽🤘🏽 1996 & 1997 Mustang gt owner here and the terminator will always have me heart!
@@Super123ronald haha my 97 Mustang GT was prolly the slowest car ive owned, I put so much money into it to try and make it fast. I eventually sold it, but I really did love that car.
Hey TDIB, which do you TRULY love more, Turbos or Superchargers?
390 hp, but makes 365 rwhp....hhmm. Ford definitely underrated the Terminator Cobras.
@@chrism.728 365whp is ~420 crank. Not a huge difference over what it was rated at. It seems most cars are rated 15-30hp less than what they actually have.
The thing is a legend.... To this day it still hurts major feelings on the street
You need to race this! That would be awesome
Facts
Not really man I've sold two maxed them out big blower and meth and new 5.0 with blower kills it
Thank you for making a terminator video. Mystichrome next?
@@BigYellow1500 true. personally id s till rather have the slower termi. i love how they sound. cant stand how then new 5.0's sound with exhaust mods.
The 03 mustang cobra lowered on some nice wheels is probably one of the best looking cars ever made
ford was so ahead of their time with body style 🙌
@@Mr.Riddler447 They had to be, after being shit on by everyone because they made the Foxbody then SN-95. A 20 year streak of ugly mustangs.
So true!! And one of the best sounding also!!
DuBstep115 are you kidding me? Foxbodys are one of the meanest looking cars of its era. Mean and fast. Everyone wants to grt their hands on em, chevy and dodge fans🤷♂️
@@Mr.Riddler447 So right Alex. When a Fox is done rite, in my honest opinion, I dont think there is a better looking car than a Fox. I just bought a 2020 GT PP1... 6 speed and I even think the Fox is just all around gorgeous. I almost bought an 87, with a Saleen body kit. All cobra built forged motor, vortec 11lb, heads, tremec 3550 trans, 9" rear, all interior and on and on. About 40-50k in mods. Ran low 10s... And it had these 90s style custom wheels that were wild....
I daily drive my Terminator... 16 psi on the stock blower and 178k miles!!
Glad to see you finally got into a mostly stock car!
16psi on factory eaton? Careful homie flirting with fire tune better be perfect...
@@mr.christopherp.4851 Its a tad under since it's not ported lol. My car has better compression numbers than my dads Terminator with a 2.87 and my cousins with a 2.76 upper. It's been on the car for at least 10 years. My car is "safely" tuned so if I wanted to I could squeeze more out or just throw a port on.
Older than your kids and still screaming through the streets hurting feelings.
@Based God damn bro who pissed in your cheerios
@Based God lmao i like you
@Based God them some fighting words
@Based God r/iamverybadass you're gonna be internet famous!
I love my 03 terminator one of the best cars at all times
Does it suck? Well...
Hell no it doesn't! The sound alone puts it far above what you can buy these days. The power and the raw feel is awesome. The interior, well yea maybe not as good s modern interiors lol but no one is buying a terminator for the interior!
They're just here to hear that supercharger whine and scream
@@WitchTrials92 as am I!
Fr I won’t care about interior unless it’s a luxury or really expensive car
@@ninersfan9765 exactly. Performance outweighs the interior!
MaxSpeed yeah that’s what I’m talking about
2003 mustang cobra terminator best mustang ever made ,my opinion.
john sosa yeah at leeeeaaaaast one of them
john sosa top 3, but not the best
James sevensix it is without Question most Definitely in the top 10.. only someone who has no clue what they’re talking about would say what you said.
Top 10 production Mustangs ever..
#1 69 Boss 429
#2 16 GT 350 R
#3 03 SVT Cobra

@chris koepp dont forget to mention that a factory terminator motor was the first v8 to hit 5 seconds in the quarter mile with the factory block and crank 🤯
@White Stallion Yea i agree with you.hes not very educated about these. For a mustang, waaaay a ahead of its time! 6 speed not 5 speed manual, IRS plus a DOHC engine and with a blower! Yea!!! Easily top 3!
It was the snake bite video for me. I ended up buying a 12 thousand mile sonic blue terminator 10 years ago that ended up fully built with a whipple. I sold it because I lost my job. 5 years ago. Today I bought a 15 thousand mile dark shadow gray terminator. God is good.
Nice video. Why I think it's still popular: Supercharged, T56, Built Motor, RAW, Affordable, and designed by Camilo Pardo (designer of 05/06 Ford GT) So It looks great even today.
affordable? not with its reliability! haha
@@elias04svt14 not sure what your talking about?
They're not the most reliable cars... unless you have a super low mile, unmolested one which is not easy to find.
@@elias04svt14 That is very inaccurate. I have owned my cobra for 8 years now and I can tell you they are very reliable. Also it's not just me, there are so many owners with super high miles and no major reliability problems. Don't know where you heard that from but they mislead you.
@@KyleSVT From first hand experience lol. On my 2nd one now and i always have little things here and there needing to be replaced. I still wouldn't consider a $20k, 15 year old car affordable when most 18-23 year olds can't go to a bank and easily finance one.
The only downfall to a sn95 is the interior and the back seats are 100% useless unless you're a small child or a gallon of milk.
MR SK1LLFUL no one buys them for the interior tho I am right
I wonder if anyone upgraded the interior of one with modern materials
And if I can fit a gallon of milk, that’s plenty
@@the1anonymouse Seen some sick Fox body Gt500 interior mods so I'm sure.
When I was young I would ride in the backseat of my grandpa's mustang GT and I would fit, I was 5,10 back then. It was comfortable
Showroom Terminators chassis dynoed at 360-370rwh.This means that the actual crank was 430ish.Every one of these rare cars you spot on the road looks brand new ,to this day.They are iconic and all owners treat them that way.
Respect is given where deserved and these cars deserve the upmost respect and admiration they are more amazing than any video can ever show
Honda guy here. I remember when I was 15 with my permit some guy in a terminator turned around the corner in the oncoming lane and just romped on it hard. The thing was straight piped and my window was open. Let’s just say my grandma (since only a permit at the time) and my ears were ringing pretty hard lol. Ever since then I knew I had respect for them dang terminators 😭
I think it captured people’s hearts is because at the time, there really wasn’t anything like it, a 400hp muscle car was unheard of, the Camaro and Firebird were dead, the Viper was too expensive. Econoboxes were supposedly the future, and here comes Ford with a supercharged Mustang, it was a rare car of the time.
What to you mean, fbodies are still alive & well today.
Not to mention the terminator came along with the restart up of the horsepower wars. A little later came the new gto's and new 1st gen SRT lineup. It's also iconic for being the American civic because it took very little mods and cheap ones to boost the hp threshold easily
@@kindafitsam8512 they were out of production by '03 is what I think he meant
Guess ya forgot bout tge c5 z06 that was in tge similar price range as tge cobra although comparing the 2 is apples to oranges like comparing the viper to the cobra. Either way id still choose a c5 z06 over the rest unless a gen 2 viper came along for a decent price since they are just gorgeous.
@@kindafitsam8512 The "f body" was discontinued in 02. The newer Camaros are not f body's, they are a different platform
Camaro guy here and that supercharger whine is the best
Bugatti guy here and all I can say is meh.
What a drip........
Pryonto Sarker dodge demon is
@@nicktronson2977 like if you have a Bugatti, my ass lol
I still love these SVT Cobra Mustangs, even today, year 2020.
I remember seeing these SVT Cobra Mustangs way back in the day, and it was awesome, sat in one too in the Ford dealership seen it up close, still love it, brings back so much good memories of the old days.
It was found out a while ago that Ford underestimated the 03 Mustang Cobras horsepower (some say due to insurance back then) since people are finding out their stock cobras would dyno at 360 some 370-377 meaning it's making close to 400+ at the crank with a body that weighs way less than the modern Mustangs.
The general consensus is that it made closer to 430hp at the crank
@@OxBlitzkriegxO I’ve driven one and it doesn’t feel like 370 or even 390 HP. Thing is a beast. It scared old ladies, and wimpy ass Tesla driving liberals when I was flying down the road. 😂
Nissan and Honda boy here, and this is the one mustang I need to own one day
check the junkyards
Infiniti owner here. and wouldn't mine owning aswell.
This and a Foxbody for me.
Nissan owner of past cars: 95 Maxima 98 Maxima 03 Maxima 04 Altima 08 Sentra and I freaking want a mustang bad
Kay Jackson I can understand why. You need something exciting
I will never get tired of you doing 03/04 Cobra videos. I've had 5 Mustangs since I was 17 and the 03/04 Cobra has for a long time been my dream Mustang and I am now in the position to get one in a few yrs. Its amazing these cars get the recognition and attention that they still do. For anyone who is a fan of these cars if you have not done so you really need to read the book Iron Fist Lead Foot, its all about the production of the 03/04 Cobra.
It’s funny seeing all the usually guys commenting on these videos 😂
@@Wretched2JZ haha I see it often. Pretty weird coming across replies back before I even had the car. How far its come in a short time. Can't wait for my blower upgrade video to drop in a few hrs
@@Lethal_Venom yea I know I read it and was like ok this was early!
I’m just late in the game 😆.
Happy to be apart of it now tho!
@@Wretched2JZ absolutely!!
@@Lethal_Venom you must be so happy now looking back! You did what you said you were going to do!
When you can find used coyote 5.0s for less than a cobra now
@0nes And Zer0s had both at the same time. even my 13 5.0 would get the lions share of drive time. my 15 5.0 even better
@0nes And Zer0s yea i daily drive my cars and the interior was definitely cheap and horrible but did she sound awesome lol
@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.
@@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 :).
Hey David, just wanted to say a genuine thank you for creating such amazing videos! They literally get me through the week. At the same time, you have ruined my life because now I have a hella long list of one off dream cars😂 thanks again
Your boi Spoolin
These will never go out of style.
😃
Man oh man do I miss my 04 terminator!!! I was the original owner and put 105 thousand miles on it!!!! Enjoyed... every... single.... mile!!! But now I own a 2018 Gt350.... love that even MORE!!!! Bless you Termi and I hope your new owner enjoys you as much as i did snif snif 😊
You made a mistake. The termi is only going up in price
@@AM-wi6zo A terminator with 105,000 miles is only going up in price? To what exactly, 14k to 14.5? Now if it has 105 miles on it I would agree with you.
I Purchased my 2004 cobra from the original owner in 2007 with a little bit of warranty still left on it. I still in the car it has 60,000 miles on it now with a tasteful modifications nothing too radical much like the car in the video. Kara made 468 to the tire just enough to have a great time on the road and put a smile on your face. One thing I enjoy is if I go to a car show normally I am the only cobra of that era at the show. Always gets a lot of looks on the street! Really enjoy your videos thank you for all the work that you do to develop these videos they’re really great!!
Terminator videos never get bored!!
That’s a nice blk terminator 15k miles, I was so lucky to find mine completely stock last year red fire vert with 4k and now has 7k all I did MGW shifter and full slp exhaust it sounds really loud and good...!
I hope he takes care of this car. An unmolested terminator is going to be worth a small fortune in a few years.
Don't underestimate its value.
Hershel Nightsbane Oh I am. Trust me
This is why we should all invest in classic cars. Even if they are not classic yet.
There are definitely a few cars to invest in
I have a 04 mystic chrome convertible with 125k miles of smiles on it. Never done a burnout or tore it up, but i will say it has seen 160 with the top down on multiple occasions.
Love your car reviews really helped me get way more into cars
Have enjoyed your videos of the 2003 Cobra. I have a 2003 Cobra with a pulley, chip, and cold air intake. 6,500 miles. It stays in my garage the majority of the time. I love it. Great videos. Love your enthusiasm for the Cobra. I feel the same way!!
Huge Chevy Pontiac guy here I drive a 2010 ss with a stage 4 cam. When I bought the car it brought back the feeling when I was 12 riding in my brothers friends 03 terminator. I’ll never forget how I felt in that car. It will always be an icon no matter what type of car or company you prefer. Long live the terminator.
16 people who disliked this video drive a Chevy who all got gapped by a cobra
Either that or they fucked a guy driving a stang
And one just admitted it !!!!! Butt hurt bitch !
Smart mustang owners always put a Chevy inside if they want to be fast Nobody puts a Ford engine inside of a Chevy LMAO
@Orion Indeed, it's a fact--no one wastes a perfectly good Ford by dropping it in a rust bucket GM chassis.
Everyone just lost six IQ points reading that illiterate nonsense.
Hey man you are one of my favorite youtubers. Keep up the good work!!
Nope. Still not sick of you driving terminators. 20 years later and still one of my all time favorites.
This is absolutely my Favorite Mustang of all time! I drive a 98 Mustang GT, but this would be my dream car. My grandfather had a 69 Mach 1 with a 427 Cobra Jet in it...Super Fast! However, this Terminator was ALWAYS my favorite. Great video brother..!
They were rated at 390hp to the crank
Car really was making 420hp at the flywheel
Yeah it really bangs out 420, Ford purposely underrated them for insurance purposes.
Ford actualy underrated them quite a bit.
Yeah but some had 380 rwhp stock
@@kyoakland Marlo don't know what he's talking about, when the 03 mustang cobra first burst on the scene they produced 420 horsepower to the crank, Ford purposely underrated them because they knew that it would be hard for individuals to get them insured if they didn't because at that time that was an insane amount of power for a car to possess.
Don’t even need to watch it to know it’s going to be great 👍🏼 keep up the good work buddy
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
BEST review you've done hands down over everything
03/04 Cobras take the cake for most awesome FORDS ever built !!
My dad owned a Terminator that looked just like this one. Man I wish I appreciated that car more at the time. I just saw it as a regular black mustang.
UpperRobin29 it’s cause you were young and dumb. Now you know
Latnlvr 😂
THIS is a BEAUTIFUL example of a stock Terminator! I love THIS model the MOST, of all the 2000s Mustangs!
GREAT job👍!
adibee88 Thanks. It was always my dream car and couldn’t turn it down when I saw the mileage
@@Snake_Cobra You're Welcome and got a Super Example of a seemingly-extinct Species! 🤘
I'm really glad you've tested so many Terminators. It'll educate the general car public a bit more. Not that I need any recognition, but whenever me or my buddies, that also have Terminators, go to car shows and half mile racing events, nobody seems to know anything about them or even care. If it's not the new 5.0, nobody cares. So thank you for taking the time to give the car it's rightful dues.
I wish they would recreate the terminator or put them back into production for a limited amount for the 15 year anniversary
I’m not tired of it keep the terminator videos going
Love seeing a review on a mostly stock Cobra and hearing your thoughts on it! Great video!
Arguably one of the most loved mustangs of all time... Beautiful.
Every time David reviews Terminator Cobras makes me want to get one so bad. I love terminator they are so badass
ThatKidRick .... ventura.craigslist.org/cto/d/2003-ford-mustang-cobra/6742743490.html
im getting one i love them
JASON JEFFERSON dang really you are lucky
Thats what made me pull the trigger on my 7k miles mystichrome terminator sitting in my garage on Ccws 😎 I’ve had three z06s , a 2006 coupe viper.. None of those put a smile on my face like my terminator does..
Do it ASAP. Have had mine for a year a have definitely hurt some feelings
Glad you enjoyed driving it David. I try my best to keep it original.
Good video, I’m enjoying your enjoyment haha. For real though, I appreciate your enthusiasm on these cars!
I have a 2004 Terminator #1286 with less than 8k miles that I've owned since 2008. Factory original except for a catback but I still have the original exhaust in case I ever want to make it fully stock again. I'll never sell it, but I always say its gonna be my Barrett Jackson car down the road. I love this thing.
Cars like these are basically rollercoasters. You don't think too much about what makes it go or anything, really. It's not a vehicle, it's an experience.
Wrong. Its all about what makes it go...
@@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.
I will never get tired of Terminator Cobra vids, maybe in the future you can get one as a project car.
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.
Terminator's were rated 390 flywheel hp / 390 flywheel tq. My stock Sonic Blue 2003 made 381.6 rear wheel hp / 380.0 rear wheel tq.
I almost bought a 2010 cobra and then I watched your video on the 03/04 cobra and now I have been a proud owner of a o3 cobra for 6 months now and it is amazingly fun. Thanks for the videos.
How is it in terms of reliability? I want one too lol what have you had to do on it since you got it?
This Cobra is like exactly like mine! Nice to see another basically untouched cobra around! Mine also has stock wheels and believe it or not stock front tires! Great review like always!
Oh Gee i Wonder why the REAR tires would need to be replaced as opposed to the front :)
What you running in the rears? Size and tire model? Lol
6SpeedFletch Cool man. Yea the guy I got it from had the tires changed so I tried to get them back right.
Quick question: What can you do with the Cobra's suspension department, to keep the car planted and avoid crowds? It's to help out a girl car enthusiast that she is a die hard mustang fan.
@@marlostanfield1087 Nitto NT55's they're 285 wide
Got my Terminator in 2004 and raced on the street so much nobody in town would race me anymore once they saw me coming lmao. I daily drove it for 5 years also. Now she stays in the garage and comes out on nice days
Sweet Machine! Thanx for bringing it out!
I'll never get tired of these episodes
This car will always be my dream car.

I agree about the braking from that era. I did some drilled and slotted discs up front with some heartier pads front and rear and it made a WORLD of difference. Like next level. Before that I was turning or buying new rotors every 6-10 months because they were warped.
Don’t stop driving or doing reviews for the terminator. Your videos with terminators are the only ones I can watch. Others are just dry or don’t know what they are talking about. I plan on having one some day. That is my dream car. Thanks for the good videos.
The rear end just looks so awesome imo.
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.
When I think of SVT, I think of this mustang and the F-150 Lightning. My favorite period of Ford cars in my opinion. I grew up liking Ford and these were some of the first cars I researched and really fell in love with. If I had the money, I would have this Mustang and a Lightning in my garage. Great video 👍🏻
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.
Never! The 03-04 Cobra is a legend!
This and the 02 SS Camaros are THE street racing machines for me.
ls1 for life
Agreed.
98 Firebird Formula WS6 and this FTW
2003 cobra, 02 SS camaro, 02 WS6 Trans am and 02-04 Z06 vette are always gonna be my favorites
Brett Gast oh hell yeah, those are beastly too
I bought my 03 Convertible 1NOV15 for $21k. Had 9299 miles on it and it was bone stock. Now has 34,xxx miles. Short throw, ORH Pipe, Flowmaster 40s (only mod on car when I got it), tune and CAI. 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.
I own an 04 convertible with 45k miles and a 04 orange coupe with 22k miles and love driving them in the summer! Keep making videos about them, love watching!!
I love this thing! Shows that we can build amazing cars when we try.
Terminators will never suck first those motors can handle 1000hp stock and second there just a beauty from the outside no matter what if modify or stock
the 4.6 32v was one of the best engines ford ever made all the 4.6 fords were great last forever
Hell yeah, the Terminator Cobras are probably one of my favourite American V8s.
EASILY one of my favorite cars of ALL TIMES !!! im on the same boat, watched these cars came out when i was a teenager and DAMN these termis blew my mind hard!
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.
One of the best cars of all time for sure.
Does not suck at all!! The best mustang ever produced in my opinion and gets your attention down the road every time
Back in the day I was a Ford hater. But you had to love the 03 Terminator. As soon as you seen it you showed your respect. Of course now my mind set has been drastically changed. I love ALL cars. I hate nothing. I welcome everything with an open mind and open arms. Great video. 👊🏼
The sound of a 32V modular V8 with the whipple whine will forever be one of my favorite sounding engines.
Your 4th Terminator review huh? And still haven’t looked at mine😩oh well
Another NICE video✔️
PJ Morrison
Lol what part you the US you in? Near AZ? Got a Terminator as well.
God damn that’s a good looking car man just subscribed I’ll watch your vids later
Marlo Stanfield Louisiana, the dirty south lol.. Wish I was in California or something, but I’m grateful🤷🏽♂️
Kelton Derkach thanks bro, hope you like what you see!🙌🏽
I know yours is a Terminator, but when I looked at your profile, I saw a silver one with a cool front bumper and thought it was a Saleen.
Someone out there throw this dude the keys to a mercury Marauder 👌🏾
For what?.... They're slugs unless they're Eaton swapped. Stock they are horrible.
KingpinSkinnyman for what???? clearly to review 🙄 & you they don’t come supercharged right 😂
@@samboo18fuksdogs1 he can get any crown vic and it be the same. You must want him to review it for the looks, the car has no performance.
KingpinSkinnyman lol why do you care what another man wants? 🤔
@@samboo18fuksdogs1 because I watch these videos and want to see QUALITY... that's why.
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.
I wish I could purchase one like this ,drive it all the time, and it never got miles chips or any wear forever, what an imaginary dream for a dream car.
It’s tough man...I drive it and have fun but still have discipline lol
You should review a Buick regal grand national
Rage Meleon si
I second this statement.
Yes
Hell YES!!! Please review the Grand National!!!
They are just laying around everywhere I'm sure it will be easy!! Why haven't you reviewed an f40?
Nice stang I'm a fbody guy but I appreciate these mustang gens my favorite is the foxbody I wish 99-04 stangs had t tops
Dave Rodriguez hell ya get you a t top fox you might like
I'm a fox body fan myself. I still think about my 89' fox 5.0 back when I was a freshman in college. Hurts me still tht I had to sell it back then. My performance parts were outweighing the stock.
love your terminator videos - I may be biased as I own an 03 cobra myself though
the Terminator mustang never ever gets old. my fav mustang ever.... well minus a 65 fastback 😉 lol. love seeing you make these kinda videos
I need this in my life...like now... Its been my dream car since I had my first car. (02 V6 mustang) *sad music*
Marshall Baeth you will get there
Marshall Baeth ...it’s for sale!!!!
ventura.craigslist.org/cto/d/2003-ford-mustang-cobra/6742743490.html
It’s got the same miles...😮👍
My 04 drop top cobra is for sale. North Central Pa. On cargurus.
I away's remember the cobra kenne bell vid that was done about 10 years ago - th-cam.com/video/2lQX3cOAbes/w-d-xo.html
Please.. don’t ever stop making terminator videos !!!
My family owns a ‘04 Black Mach 1, had it since ‘04 and only has 25k miles... it’s still brand new so I know what you mean by how crazy it feels to drive a old car that basically drives just like it left the factory! Amazing feeling...
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
Its held its value because its a mustang with forced induction from the factory simple 😂
And only 20k of them made maybe 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
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
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.
Some of my favorite TH-cam videos are “mustang cobra vs cop” so many videos of cobras just leaving the cops in their dust.
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.
Great review. Giggle machine absolutely. I have a '03 10th Anniversary. Stock. Just turned 30k mi. Awesome car.
