This Cobra Is Ready To Terminate The Competition
There’s no doubt the 2003 Terminator Cobra was one badass muscle car. But this one has been modified to put the smack down on Z06 Corvettes and more, thanks in part to a Whipple supercharger upgrade housed under that bulging snout.
This should be illegal to do to such a beautiful car.
As they say, the proof is in the pudding and numbers don’t lie. The owner of this Cobra Terminator says it’s making 1,000-whp, so Autotopia LA decided to check it out in the video we’ve included. You just have to hear this thing rip, it’s so visceral. And the onboard cameras show the guys getting thrown around inside.
While the Mustang has retained its 4.6-liter V8 engine, the internals are anything but stock. Not only are the cams more aggressive along with the valvetrain, the bottom end is built for extreme performance.
That’s all necessary to get the most out of the upgraded Whipple supercharger. The owner has put on at least two aftermarket options on the Terminator, with of course different results, but both provided way more power than the stock blower.
Backing the motor is a T-56 Magnum manual transmission, which feeds to an 8.8-inch rear. And the car runs on E85. But the shocking part is the ECU is stock, or so says the owner. We would’ve figured the exact opposite.
Tuned to run the quarter mile, the owner says he’s done a 10 second flat run before. It sounds like he doesn’t take a lot of trips to drag strips and might be doing some… less legal races. Plus, we don’t know how skilled he is, which can make a huge difference a car’s run.
Watch the video to see this wicked Mustang in action.
