The Terminator is just a name for the '03/'04 Cobras because they can "Terminate" most other street cars in races. Very fast cars.:eek:

The Terminator name was the internal project name the SVT team used during development. John Colletti dubbed this car the Terminator because it was built to terminate the competition (camaro) once and for all and it did.

A stock Terminator really isn't all that fast, but with a grand can be made to compete with C5 Z06's. I know, because I own one.

Wow people..

They are the 2003 and 2004 cobraswhich are factory supercharged unlike all other years. These cars are more desireable because they are factory built to handle forced induction, where as previous years are not and will not handle near as moch horsepower... Ifyou lookinto buying a cobra, you'll notice that they are usually at least twice the price.

stock terminator not that fast!? HAH. and you'll only see 12.8 with a really good driver. someterminator owners barely hit low 13's becuase that irs is pretty tough to keep it from wheel hopping

The 2002 Cobra Special was unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show in February 2002 as the 2003 Cobra. It was formerly referred to as the Cobra Terminator, but the Special Vehicle Team decided to drop it because it sounded too violent, and they didn't want to pay royalties to the movie franchise. Visit Timeline: 2003 Mustang (http://bradbarnett.net/mustangs/timeline/99-04/03/index.htm) for photos and information on the 2003 Cobra.

Not That Fast.....

Well, until the '07 GT500 was released, they were the fastest factory Mustang ever produced. Capable of mid 12's out of the box, though with a great driver.

How many cars are capable of that out of the showroom? A corvette or two (pre C6), a couple exotics, and some vipers.

Not a bad crowd to be thrown in with for a fraction of the price.

Not that fast? Awfully bold.

I had a stock one. Well not completely stock it had a catted x pipe and a cat back. I beat a C5 Z06 by a bumper with me and 3 others in the car. So I'd say with 1 grand in mods you should be beating C5 Z06's.

Then the driver of that Z06 did not know how to drive at all and I'm calling BS. A loud and thunderous BS. There's no way in hell you being stock with 4 people in the car (now totalling what ~4400lbs) beat a car that is 3100lbs. No F'in way.

People, if you really think a 13 second car is fast, then you guys are sadly mistaken. Hell, 11 second cars aren't even fast anymore.

Well I can see your chart is based on your 14 second car. 13 seconds is not "quick". I guess I'm just used to being around a ton of 10 second cars lately. I don't mean to be-little anyone.

The Cobra with an average driver (stock) and when I say average I say a 2.0 60" will run a 12.7-12.8... That's pretty damn fast for a car to be right out of the box...

Allvenom, since you're on such a high horse - what does your Cobra run? Curious.

I am around 10 second cars all the time, and 12's is still a fast time for a car to go. Just because our cars run 11's and 10's... doesn't mean 12's are slow - they're just slow in comparison, but a 12 sec qtr mile is still damn fast. you're just a prick.

An average driver is not going to run 12.7-12.8's with a stock car. You want to know what my car runs? Line up next to me you douche.

If you read my last post, I apologized for coming off as if I was offending anyone for their times. I am just used to being around fast cars. I get pissy with Cobra owners who think they own the world with their stock car because it has a blower. Yes, it is "quick". But you will get your ass handed to you by a myriad of cars out there, including SRTs, F-bodies, etc. It is by far, not the fastest thing on the street. You will also not find a more loyal Cobra owner than me, but I am a realist. I know that even though my car is a beast, it is still beatable. Now go f*ck yourself junior.

wow now you sound like the douche. You also never answered his question on what you run its not our fault you suck at driving and that is the mentallity that you have about all term's. Here is my 1/4 with just a cat-back.

yes that says 12.9. I thought average drivers couldn't do that??? Yes I did run some high and low 13's that night because it was my first time EVER at the track, this was I believe my 5th run of the night.

what does your car run man? i see and run with 10 sec cars at the tracks all day, but most of those are purely drag cars. i can drive to the track and run 11's then crank up the radio and blast the a/c for the ride home. in my opinion 11 sec street legal/street trim cars are pretty darn fast. lets all quit the pissing match i figure the op knows what a termie is by now. Venom you don;t have to get all pissy just cuz someone askes what you run. i would like to know myself since you have too many mods to list.

So seeing that i can run 9's all day long has no affect on me causeI STILL SMILE WHEN I SEE A COBRA for the simple fact its a stock 12 sec car yes mines a 9sec but hell nothing is stock on my car so your comparing a civic to a lambo!!! Id have one but just cant see paying 20+k for a cobra just to hot for my feet right now. Bah u own a cobra but dog it wtf sell it to me since its a slow dog ill give ya 15k so then u can go buy them bad ass SRT"S << my ass!!

Dude, could you put a coherent sentence together? I will gladly list my mods for you.

Here you go.
Stock block bored .030 over, CP Pistons, rest stock
2.3 Whipple
3.5 Upper/6lb Lower
60# fuel injectors
BAP

Accufab TB
Bassani Mid Length Headers
Bassani X with Cats
SLP LM2 Catback
Fidanza flywheel, Fidanza DFX clutch 26spline upgrade.
Stock IRS
M/T Drag radials
Some papers in the glove box

Other misc crap that doesn't make it go any faster.

All this tuned mildly at 19lbs of boost.

Like I said before, a high 12 second car is not fast. I love my Cobra, I'd own nothing else (ok maybe a C6 Z-06), but I am realistic to its limits. I never think I'm the fastest on the street because there is always someone faster with way less power (Our cars are pigs). I think you all have misinterpreted my post as an attack on the Cobra world and you are sadly mistaken. You people just need to wake the f*ck up and realize that while you may be quick, don't screw it up and be an ass for the rest of us getting your ass handed to you by an Evo or whatever and shown to everyone on youtube.

Oh, congrats to you Cobrasnake. If you look at the post that you quoted me on, you will see I said 12.7 - 12.8. I'm not saying this is impossible either, but if you know statistics, you throw out the outliers and take the median.

If you are interested in learning more specifics about the Terminator, check the FAQ section of my website. http://stangshiftergaskets.com/2003_2004faqs.htm

Near stock, the '03 - '04 Cobra isfast with an experienced driver. Mastering the launch (with the IRS) is a key. One well-known tuner in Colorado (intake and exhaust mods and 408rwhp) ran 11.79 @ 115. That was with a sticky tire. That's pretty impressive IMO and shows the potential with the right driver. Average guys (like me, LOL!) can more expect mid-12s.

Get off your high damn horse and come back to reality. I don't know one car under 50k that will beat a stock Cobra made in 2003-2004, please enlighten me. There isn't 1 SRT8 that can beat a 03'04 Cobra stock 2 stock both driven correctly, nor a LS1 car - of any kind. Yes you have a fast car, but what have you run in it? You talk about Cobra owners acting like they have the fastest thing on earth but you come off like that? If you don't think 12.7-12.8 is fast for a 35k car that is stock, you're lieing or trying to sound like a big shot. But you're right, compared to a 9-10 second car mid-highesh 12's really isn't fast, but you're comparing a car that you've put 10k into. You look at any stock car under 50k and it's the fastest if not one of the fastest - not sure if i am not thinking of a particular model or not. but, nothing in 2003/2004 that GM made for 50k or less is faster - same goes for Dodge and any other competitor. So come back to reality f*cktard.

By the way... what do you run? You talk all this trash, then tell someone to line up next to you.. have you ever even run? Or did you run justa slow time because you don't really know how to drive your whipplecar... by the way that's really not that fast. Ported blower + 100 shot = eat you for lunch.

On a side note: may want to do something with your IRS before you snap it. Mickeys + torque = a bad day for stock Cobra IRS.

I see that you're not understanding what we're all trying to get across to you you f*cking moron. High 12/ low 13 second STOCK cars are considered fast/ quick, whatever you wanna call it. Nobody here considers their Cobra unbeatable. We all know there is always a faster car, we're not stupid. Maybe you suck at driving and are incapable of runningtimes like these that made you a realist, but there are people out there who know how to handle their stock Cobras, including me. I've neverbeen to the track, but I can tell you not one srt, evo, vette (excluding the c6 vettes, haven't raced one yet) have beat me yet. Call it what you want, but that makes me feel pretty damn good about my driving and thepower my car puts out. So you can go live in your pathetic "real world", as for us, we're gonna keep it going no matter what is thrown our way. Getting beat by a modded evo or srt is not the end of the world buddy, you just gotta realize they're spending money to try to get to the level most cobra owners are already at. With that being said, more power to us.

:eek:Your Cobra's did not put the final nail in the F-body coffin. A labor dispute with the Canadian plant that was making them is what it was really about, but of course nobody here would dare admit that. Go on thinking that the Mustangs sales killed the f-body if it makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside.

It is. You're right.

Besides the Terminator came out after the decision to discontinue the Fbody was made anyhow.

However, the V6 Mustang was outselling the fbodies by a healthy margin - but that obviously wasn't the reason GM discontinued the Fbody twins.

-however, I still fail to see a car (stock) faster then the 03/04 Cobra under 50k. The C5 Corvette has the biggest chance, and its still (while not much) a bit slower. For anyone to say a 2003/2004 Cobra isn't fast just needs a reality check imo.

Talk about one HELL of an understatement. :) I may be ignorant, but at least I'm happy [8D]:D

But in reference to his statment; I am not sure how a car that was released in 2002 is responsible for ending a model that's last year was releases in 2001.

Not only stopped production in 2001, but everyone knew for a couple of years before they stopped also... maybe the head of GM had a premonition and stopped production to avoid embarrasment :-)

i love the gm guys on the site, haha...

Talk about one HELL of an understatement. :) I may be ignorant, but at least I'm happy [8D]:D

But in reference to his statment; I am not sure how a car that was released in 2002 is responsible for ending a model that's last year was releases in 2001.

I'm not getting uppity, just stating a fact. Plus I think SOME of you guys say some pretty silly things and one of them is always bringing up the fact that f bodies are no longer in production. So what, lots of great cars are not being made anymore, but that does not mean that they were not good cars. It seems that latley whenever there is a Mustang vs. Fbody conversation, the Stang guys either say "well you car is ugly" (which is of course nothing more than an opinion) or "well fbodies are no longer being made". Hinestly is that the best some of you guys can come up with?

JD I am dissapointed in you - you didn't bring up the 10 bolt, lol - that's another normal comeback...

Personally... I didn't get a LS1 T/A because of the interior... and that's coming from a Mustang owner... [>:]... but like you said - that's a matter of opinion...

I know youre not getting uppity. im just playin around. but that "junk irs" just so happens to be one of the cars best characteristics. Well, in my opinion anyway, but then again im not really into straight-line drag that much. I guess thats why i still have love for the Evos and STIs even though im in school toas ford tech

Yeea see the Cobra guys I know are really into drag racing and are putting KB's, whipples and turbos on the cars. The IRS really becomes a severe weak point for them. BUt if your into road racing the IRS is a good piece.

The crappy thing about it... is even on a built IRS, the Ford IRS they put in this car really sucks... I am keeping mine as a straight road daily driver... I want the 8.8 for weight loss, and for more stability..

Everyone I have talked to that swapped love it. Besides, I liked the straight axle in my GT... I don't really feel the difference in the two... Only over speed bumps, haha.

Get off your high damn horse and come back to reality. I don't know one car under 50k that will beat a stock Cobra made in 2003-2004, please enlighten me. There isn't 1 SRT8 that can beat a 03'04 Cobra stock 2 stock both driven correctly, nor a LS1 car - of any kind. Yes you have a fast car, but what have you run in it? You talk about Cobra owners acting like they have the fastest thing on earth but you come off like that? If you don't think 12.7-12.8 is fast for a 35k car that is stock, you're lieing or trying to sound like a big shot. But you're right, compared to a 9-10 second car mid-highesh 12's really isn't fast, but you're comparing a car that you've put 10k into. You look at any stock car under 50k and it's the fastest if not one of the fastest - not sure if i am not thinking of a particular model or not. but, nothing in 2003/2004 that GM made for 50k or less is faster - same goes for Dodge and any other competitor. So come back to reality f*cktard.

By the way... what do you run? You talk all this trash, then tell someone to line up next to you.. have you ever even run? Or did you run justa slow time because you don't really know how to drive your whipplecar... by the way that's really not that fast. Ported blower + 100 shot = eat you for lunch.

On a side note: may want to do something with your IRS before you snap it. Mickeys + torque = a bad day for stock Cobra IRS.

I do get what venom is saying my DD is a 9 sec car but by all means u worded your responces wrong cause a high 12sec stock car is damn fast no matter how you slice it. So seeing that i can run 9's all day long has no affect on me causeI STILL SMILE WHEN I SEE A COBRA for the simple fact its a stock 12 sec car yes mines a 9sec but hell nothing is stock on my car so your comparing a civic to a lambo!!! Id have one but just cant see paying 20+k for a cobra just to hot for my feet right now. Bah u own a cobra but dog it wtf sell it to me since its a slow dog ill give ya 15k so then u can go buy them bad ass SRT"S << my ass!! Anyways peace and MAD love to all the Cobra owners( even the pricks)


Dude, could you put a coherent sentence together? I will gladly list my mods for you.

Here you go.
Stock block bored .030 over, CP Pistons, rest stock
2.3 Whipple
3.5 Upper/6lb Lower
60# fuel injectors
BAP
MAFia
Accufab TB
Bassani Mid Length Headers
Bassani X with Cats
SLP LM2 Catback
Fidanza flywheel, Fidanza DFX clutch 26spline upgrade.
Stock IRS
M/T Drag radials
Some papers in the glove box

Other misc crap that doesn't make it go any faster.

All this tuned mildly at 19lbs of boost.

Like I said before, a high 12 second car is not fast. I love my Cobra, I'd own nothing else (ok maybe a C6 Z-06), but I am realistic to its limits. I never think I'm the fastest on the street because there is always someone faster with way less power (Our cars are pigs). I think you all have misinterpreted my post as an attack on the Cobra world and you are sadly mistaken. You people just need to wake the f*ck up and realize that while you may be quick, don't screw it up and be an ass for the rest of us getting your ass handed to you by an Evo or whatever and shown to everyone on youtube.

Oh, congrats to you Cobrasnake. If you look at the post that you quoted me on, you will see I said 12.7 - 12.8. I'm not saying this is impossible either, but if you know statistics, you throw out the outliers and take the median.




Are you sadly mis-informed? A ported blower + 100 shot will not "eat" me for lunch. Sure, it would give me a run, but are you talking from a roll or the line? Also, will you people quit saying the IRS can't take the abuse? It cannot take the abuse when you have crappy tires on there and allow wheel hop to eat you alive. The IRS is fine and can hold the power. I have ran a 10.89 on the M/Ts. I'm sure I would have done better with some real slicks back there since my 60 was a 1.61.

Thank you all for reminding me why I left this site. I didn't realize that the only one with actual knowledge were GM owners. Good luck with your "fast" cars.

Why not leave again. Considering your running 10.8s with your twin screw.. with a pretty good 60" for your mickeys... The IRS does suck unless it's built - and if you dont think so, then you may want to go try that out for yourself. There are plenty of guys with a ported blower and nitrous running in the mid 10's... so yes I call .2-.3 seconds on a 1/4 mile that's now in the 10's "eating you for lunch".

You think because you have a whipple your car is amazing... When you probably really have the weakest blower out there next to the Heaton.. If you wanna do the math (most whipple cobra are running in the high 500's) a ported blower with nitrous on it, that has the normal bolt ons, will get itself over 600/600 whereas your twin screw won't. With that you can't yell about torque either considering the nitrous on these cars puts hella torque. I guess horsepower doesn't mean anything to you, maybe im just stupid.. but I always thought 600+ was higher then 500+....

btw, your stock IRS... you're goin to be paying for new half shafts sooner then later... I just hope you're ready to buy them once they snap. retard.... who really runs a Twin Screw Cobra with mickeys on a stock IRS... are you that stupid?

EDIT: It would be from a roll or the line. Like I said, properly tuned ported blower + nitrous cobras are running 10.5's... the ones with the straight axles, even lower... Again for the slow ones on the board... the higher the hp/tor and the lighter the car, the faster it goes... Who would've thought this was rocket science? If you don't think a car like mine, or like blownsvt that's ported and puts a 100shot w/built 8.8 would beat you... then you're in for a very big surprise.
