2003 Mustang Cobra "Terminator" - One Take
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- This 2003 Mustang Cobra is a mostly stock example, with only mild suspension upgrades and a catback exhaust. Nevertheless, the Terminator, even after 14 years, proves itself to be a highly potent performance machine with a long standing track record for accepting modifications for even more power. Known as the "Terminator," for it's then-unbelievable 390 horsepower supercharged V8, for a time, it was the king of the Muscle Car kingdom.
Check it out on Wheelwell!

FINALLY, a termi review. Hands down my favorite car. Everyone dreams of owning a Lamborghini or a Ferrari. That's my dream car right there.
BXRchampion1993 me exactly :,)
BXRchampion1993 You can get good examples for 20k.
This and a MK4 supra are my dream cars.
Same here
How much does one of these cost?
"lots of trust from the parents". or "i tricked my parents into thinking it was a 2003 Mustang."
One Wear Reviews he probly told them it was a v6 lol
His parents know he’s my best friend lol
Good idea!
Peter's Dad: "What's this on top of the engine, with the pulley?"
Peter: "A really big power steering pump." :D
@liquidleopard4495 and ford is known for whining power steering pumps
what this young man failed to mention, is mom and dad also took out a life insurance policy on him when they gave him the car. The odds are in their favor.
Thats horrible lol
Bart2278 haha, smart parents.
Your wrong. They actually got a life insurance policy for them selfs because we all know mustangs like to jump curbs headed toward crowds
STEELERS743 now that made me LOL
mustang memes are the best. lol.
You know, for someone who has parents that bought him a nice car for his first car, he really doesn't seem like a dick at all. He actually seems like a nice dude.
Loebane Exactly! Just because someone's parents buy them nice things doesn't mean they're a bad person. I really am at a loss as to why he's getting hate.
Loebane hahahaha. what nice car????? you mean this 5000 dollar piece of crap?
Loebane agreed
Abu compared to what I got - a sun damaged maroon 91 dodge caravan.
ABU-AZERA find me a $5000 terminator like this one
honestly, i am way more likely to click on a video with a terminator than a video with a ferrari or lambo
JoeOfAllTrades its the every man's joy.
25k for a low 17k mileage, I found one at that price with a 2.3 kenne bell, mild tune 550 rwhp.
Dreams of a 2005 lambo soon disappear, Because who needs 80k for a car?
making 700whp on these cars is easy.
I LOVE This.
Don´t gut it. Fix the interior noises and preserve the value of the car, keep it as a nice weekend car as you said and get a gutted foxbody instead. With this one you should just refine what Ford did shitty.
For sure!! Its a rare car, and its only going to go up in value.
bingoberra18 how do you fix interior noise ?
Sound deadening and rubber strips between plastic panels.
c0c0asauce dynamatt
Man, I just wanted to scream this! Get an actual beater that you can beat on at the track. Don't ruin a perfectly decent car that originally retailed between $30-$40K.
One of our favorite sounding cars of all time. Like a jet coming towards you and a NASCAR going away!
JP & Co.
I agree! Mechanic that works at the diesel shop across the street drives a Lincoln with this engine. Hammers the $h!t out of it every day comming and going. Ive been waving and giving him thumbs up for years now.
Smaller supercharger pulley and a tune REALLY wakes these cars up - 390 to 450 for about $500. Add CAI - cat back and a short throw shifter makes it a whole lot more fun.
John MacDougall Yes! Easy to make big power in these on the cheap. They response really well to bolt ons.
But they made 430ish stock...
These cars are really 425 approx. Ford sandbagged insurance companies.
@@boxcarent.3147 he was talking wheel hp. They have been known to dyno 380-390 wheel stock...so 390 wheel up to 450 wheel with pulley tune and exhaust (prob not going to get to 450 with stock exhaust...mid pipe and catback at least) but exhaust is stuff people are gonnna do anyways for sound and looks performance is a def plus too. Back when they came out mm&ff tested one...brand new not even broke in yet it laid down 381 whp and ocer 370 torque bone stock. You can do intake pulley midpipe catback and custom tune and you're north of 450 hp and torque to the wheels. Blower swap and youre making 600-800 depending on blower and boost levels and tune and fuel etc...all on the stock engine long as you have good fuel and good tune youre golden. Trans is good too just a clutch upgrade, shifter upgrade, better fluid and the 26 splin input shaft upgrade and youre good to go they can take alot of power set up correctly
Me I would leave her alone Faster means more tickets, and or wiping her out. Older means wiser
Thanks for everything you and your team do day in and day out. You guys and One Takes are literally a part of my morning routine lol. Keep up the awesome work!
I believe it's literally just Matt filming and editing everything, he's one hell of a dude and deserves all the praise in the world
crazythedon 😂
makes weekdays so much better!
I owned one about 7 yrs ago. Great Car. Had full exhaust, intake, pullied, ported blower, tune and made 533rwhp. Had it as a dd, never gave me a problem. Sold it to some guy in the military.
SEENO G i guess it wasnt that great since you sold it lol
SEENO well im pretty sure if the car was so great you wouldve kept it regardless an still bought a mini van lol
David Wade Well it's called starting a family, thanks for the concern. Rest assured, I'll own one again.
45 ROB shutup stupid idiot
Ohh i been there an done that im 39 an when i was 25 i had a pontiac firehawk i kept that an got the family car...I guess your wifey made you do away with your cobra
"-ast it's a fun show" Sure thing Matt :p
I have a feeling this will get a lot of views, the internet seems to love this car.
Kryptonlte considering thatdudeinblue video of the terminator is the highest viewed video on his channel to date
im a simple man...i see a terminator...i click..
Benjamin Waltenburg come click on mine lol
Soon2Be Fulfilled thanks bro!
Benjamin Waltenburg haha yep, me too.
Benjamin Waltenburg there's nothing simple about a termi
ummm.....yep
My life would be complete if I have a terminator in Mystichrome
I remember the first time I saw one in person, pics don't do it justice.
Never seen one in person and probably never will but I can imagine how breathtaking it would look in person
Imad S It looks soooooo good in person.
Get one they are awesome. I sold my white 03 cobra to get a Mystichrome, no regrets.
How gay can you be
The terminator has always been such a badass car
it always will be, it'll be a collector car for mustang enthusiasts one day if not already.
Regardless of their power numbers, brand loyalty, or whatever, the 4.6L V8 in this gen Mustang is one of the best sounding engines ever.
most definitely.
best Mustang body style ever made. In my opinion
More of a fact, really.
Yeah they sound and look good
ever see a '69 BOSS 429?
*Heavy Metal*
I have. Amazing cars. Cobra still looks and drives better.
old Errol only if it had the cobra front and rear and the wing . The seats are awesome being they have the Inlaid Cobra
When I first got my ls2 6spd GTO back in 2005 I thought that was a quick car. I Ran a 12.97 at 110 mph bone stock with it so I was pretty decent with the manual. One night I ran one of these at a local cruise spot and got walked. LS2 was 400/400. No way that cobra was 390/390. More like wheel horsepower. I had my serving of humble pie that day served up by an 04 termi and I loved every bit of It. The sound it made had me second guessing my gto purchase until the day I sold it.
cant tell you how long ive been waiting for this video..
Finally, I've been waiting for this review! The termi will always be my favorite Mustang.
Josh Uraz ill take the shelby gt500 ma fav
David Wade which generation?
I almost just bought one of these. But I bought a 16k mile AP2 s2000 instead. Will always love the new edges
good choice reliability wise...but power wise yes the cobra would of had a little more power for sure
Thanks for cutting out your own ad, no skip required!
Your plug for the podcast was cut to the end
Sounds good to me
Lee C for real though 😂
Man, I remember when a buddy of mine surprised everyone at work in early 2002 with his new '03 Cobra. He had one of the first on Long Island. He ordered it with the chrome 5 spoke wheels, but he had to wait for months after he got the car before they came in. Anyway, we took it down to this place called Mustang Magic on Long Island just after it crossed 1,000 miles, and this freaking Cobra rated at 390 HP at the crank, put down 372 HP at the wheels bone stock! Talk about underrated from the factory! These cars are monsters, especially once you started modding them. I lost touch with him in 2007 and he still had that Cobra. I wonder if he still has it today? He said he was never going to get rid of it, so I wouldn't be surprised if he does still have it. Good times.
That's correct this car hit the streets in June of 2002. Yep depending on the temp and dyno this car made 360-380 RWHP all day stock.
Been waiting for this one. Surprisingly positive review, especially for a near stock example. I was pretty sure the suspension was going to be a weak point with how often many owners seem to complain about their IRS.
divid3dbyZero yepp once you take care of the IRS it changes the car.
Chevy man here. If I was a Ford guy this would be the model I would get. Very strong and a very nice looking car especially with 12s on the rear. Saw them get 425 at the rear wheels with a few add ons on horsepower TV. Good work Ford...
my car has 99 hp, this guy's first car has 390 hp,fml
Richard Gun my first car had about 230 hp, now I have a car with only 155 hp
Buck Falcon first car was a 3.5 liter V6 2001 Hyundai XG350L that made what felt like 230 horsepower but it didn't make that, it actually made 195 horsepower. The car I have now is a 2012 Mazda3 that I bought with my own hard earned money back in 2013. Bought it used off the owner of the dealership. He was leasing it but he was dropping it so he could get into what was at the time the BRAND new mazda6 design.
Mine had 250 crank hp, i sold it with 530 wheel hp. sure a skyline was fun, but i would never do it the way i did if i could do it over. The biggest thing that gets you is the maintenance and cost of parts/mods if you don't get something moderately sensible or do it in multiple iterative steps (assuming its not on your parents $$). if its fast, its not cheap, but if its fast and cheap then there is no way its reliable. i went through receipts at one point (dont do this, its depressing) and found about 30k worth of mods/labour. No car has been modified to anywhere near the same extent since and my wallet has thanked me for it.
my car has 345 hp i am 11 yrs ^^
My first car was a 70 hp 1991 Suzuki Swift.
Thats one of the most cleanest cobra ive seen in a long time...
Would love to see some older Vipers on this channel such as the SRT10, GTS or RT/10
Mohammed Al-eissa there's none of those left in LA. They all got shipped to the Midwest or something, I've never had a single submission for one
Thats crazy! No submissions?
Yep, Northwest Indiana here and you'll see the occasional Viper on the road, both old and new. I'm really surprised there's not more out on the West Coast, especially in California with all the tracks that are out there.
brandon18054 im in indy near zionsville. i see them too plus guite a few maseratis surprisingly.
I live in very southern California...used to see Vipers when they were new....haven't seen one in a long time....
What a fun first car. I had a Pontiac Sunfire then switched to a 500 whp S4. I couldn't imagine having that much power when I was 18. Seems like a nice guy.
wait did an 18 year old just declare he wants a weekend AND a daily?
.....right?!
#richpricks
It's like those identity theft commercials, "$1,500 for a leather bustier? It's not my money (laughing)"
I do too, I just don't have money tho :(
My homie is 19 with a mercury marauder as his daily and a ford probe gt he's building as well for the weekend, it's very possible with help from mom and dad
I've got a Ford contour daily & a clean 240sx weekend car! I bought both when I was 18, I'm 19 now
That’s a beautiful car. Don’t mess with it! Maybe some exhaust upgrades but other than that. Leave it alone! It’s beautiful the way it is plus a stock terminator that’s clean is gonna be worth a fortune one day.
Nice video matt. I daily mine lol I Switched to a twin disk and the clutch is super easy now. I agree on the seating position, recaros are next for me. Very RAW car for sure.
For his first car that interior is suprisingly clean. good on ya kid
I love my terminator!!!!!!! will never part with her sonic blue and only owned by me!!! 47K miles!!! and 505rwhp....
Lucky bastard
I love the sonic blue termi! I own a redfire termi ❤️
Enjoy that girl...shes special.
Yah there amazing.Also they were so far ahead of there time back in 03 04.I bought a 04 torch red Terminator back in March of 2020 for 33grand with just 29 hundred original miles.It is completely stock except for just exhaust. But I plan on lowering the car and just full exhaust and that's it.
This 18 year old kid seems so mature and cool. I'm actually amazed. Cool car, even cooler guy. Thanks!
That is the quietest Terminator I have ever heard.. lol.
My first car my parents paid for half of it, the other half they'd saved up for in my name, So when i turned 18 and didn't smoke, i got a car (Gotta be 18 to drive in Norway). Nothing fancy, just an old '85 Volvo 244DL. But my parents got me it pretty much, and i was not smart about the car at all... So respect to this kid for keeping it in one piece, his parents should be proud.
Also i'm super jealous of his car, i've only owned a Mustang II V6, and a broken '79 Foxbody Ghia that never drove. I'd love something like his car.
The ad in the begging was cut out almost completely. Unsubbed. Sike.
nelsonsubaru dafuq you should be happy, I didnt have to touch my screen to move forward.
Rocknium1 it was a joke you bot
cczz - shut up u ass
So I just turned 17 on the 10th I'm supposed to go next week and pick up an 01 cobra I've been saving all of my money for 9 months now and I've finally got enough so excited!!!
It terminates pedestrians
Chris Cahill that started with the newer mustangs
Guns don't kill, people do. Mustangs don't kill, people do. Spoons don't make obese, people make obese.
Funny people dont regurgitate the same fucking jokes, unfunny bitches do.( Chris Cahill)
I making the t-shirt now, "Spoons don't make obese, people make obese".
I am sorry you do not think I am funny. I will clear all future RUclips comments with you prior to posting.
Machs would have gotten way more love if they released it a year before the termi but they did um both the same year and the mach is an amazing car... but... the termi totally stole the show, our poor machs had no chance😭
The turning radius is bad because they want you to slide the back end out to make it lol
Can confirm, I do that shit on u-turns on my GT
Love these cars. I turned 18 last month and bought myself a black 03 cobra.
*Happy Birthday Peter!* 😂
Kid got a nice first car for sure. Seems to run pretty good for its age, the supercharged 32 valve sounds good makes ok power, sounds good, nice supercharger whine up top. Kid seems nice not a douche props for that.
If you ever come anywhere near North or South Carolina, we gotta good a one take on my 03 cobra, big fan! My car is the one that David Patterson reviewed, then you started doing one takes, thought it would be cool one day. All Love
I love all stangs but the newedge is my all time fav...nice car bro👍
Matt is 36, that kid is 18. 18 x 2 = 36
Bob Marley lololol
Bob Marley I see what you did there 😂
Bob Marley the real Bob Marley died at age 36 also. The plot thickens!
Bob Marley illuminati confirmed
Bob Marley I'm 35
My dream car actually. I owned a 97 Cobra a few years ago. I want an 03-04 now.
Holy shit I've never ever clicked on an video so fast I've been waiting!!!!! Miss mine so muchhhhg
I got my Terminator the day before I turned 18. Just because he is 18 doesn't mean he is not responsible. I babied mine and I did pay for mine myself. However, it wasn't my first car. My first cars was a 79 Cutlass that I inherited from my grandfather, and I also got my dad's broken Volvo 740 turbo that I had to fix if I wanted to drive it. Eventually I sold the Volvo and bought a 94 Cobra. Ill be honest I did all my stupid shenanigans with the 94 and learned to respect a car and care for them. Unfortunately I had to sell my Terminator in 2014 to move out of state for school. I am now 22 and will hopefully be buying it back very soon!
Don't gut it! Nice Stockish Terminators are hard to find. Just fix the rattles.
been waiting for his review for bout 3 years. No disappointments! miss my dsg cobra should have kept it
finally!!! a terminator cobra 👍
I just bought a 2003 Terminator painted 1993 Teal Metallic, fully Built, Fully modded 900hp Whipple swapped, Kurgan Motorsports Cammed Terminator on E85 this year. I also own a 2011 Shelby GT500 and the Terminator is more fun to drive fast! Besides the weird seating position in the Terminator and the heavy clutch it is a really great car to drive!
not made well, except for the things that count like MOTOR TRANS REAR END BITCH
Still love this car man! Happy birthday Pete.
I haven't clicked on a vid so fast before.
You don't know how long I've been waiting for this review
Lucky son of a gun 😂 I'm sure we'd all kill to have a Cobra at 17 😂
I'd be dead in a Mustang Cobra at 17.
glad I didn't have to skip the ad in the beginning
"Mustang Terminator" sheesh it must kill people on sight with enhanced accuracy on crowds...
sidewalk bowling
John Coletti lead SVT Engineer dubbed the car "Terminator" because it was made to terminate the Camaro SS platform.
Nate T To bad Ford was too little too late as GM had already ended production of the f-body.
To late for magazine testing and bench marking against the camaro but on time for the customer because as soon as it hit the streets it became a legend. I've been on the SVTPerformance forums since 06, and knew about the car since 03 in HS. Before social media, there was streetfire and other media platforms of people recording camaros getting killed and making corvette owners sweat like a harlot in church. Good times! The movement was started by guy named "Blades" IIRC.
Nate T I also remember the look on peoples faces when their pullied/full bolt-on "Terminator" just got walked by a cam-only F-body. Talk about absolute embarrassment. The excuse was almost always "but but but...heatsoak". 😂😂. Those were the good 'ol days.
Would've loved this car at 18 (they were brand new at that time) but I would've ended up wrapped around a tree with a stock 12 second car. But this kid seems 100x more mature than I was 😂
His parents are insane. Be safe kid.
Toyota4Life he recently passed away on July 8th. RIP little guy
Pure Luck stop lying
Pure Luck really? How?
toyota4Life toyota is a piece of SHIT
His parents have no idea.
In 2003 here I was a young sperm fresh in the Military wanting a 03 Cobra as a dream car and instead driving a nitrous injected 02 V6 automatic. Fast forward 14 years and this kid gets it as a first car. #LifesUnFair
Oh no Matt, your ad didn't make it in lol.
I like how the owner just smiles at his car and they are both having fun. that's the same way i treat my Mustang or should say treated. rip.
Oh hey, it's also my 18th birthday (yeah, I know this was not filmed today)
Pumped for New Edge content. Strangely never even clued in this was lacking but happy you got around to it.
Beautiful car! I've been waiting forever for this one take. I wish my parents bought me a Cobra lol.
PowerofMetal247 just work hard man. You can find a good cobra for like 20k
I don't understand the comments here bashing this kid and/or his parents for getting him a fast first car. My first car was an AMG Mercedes (of course not a new one, it was a 10 year old C43 when I first got it). I did not get one speeding ticket nor got into any accident with the car. I was always a very responsible kid, and my parents knew that, as did this kid's parents apparently.
ah nice fucked up the plug
THANK GOD YOU FINALLY DID A TERMINATOR
Matt,
Do you make less money if I press skip on the ad. Tryna help the channel out
zzwildcat73zz I make more if you watch the whole ad
TheSmokingTire what about RUclips red? I'm still not clear on how that affects creators, I assume somehow along the way you get a piece of that. I hope so anyway.
TheSmokingTire I grab a coffee while the whole ad plays. This way we're both happy ;-)
I think the opportunity to let Matt drive your first car on your 18th birthday is a badass present
the audio/video sync is wayyy out of whack, can't even watch the video
Drives a Termi and was able to have his car featured on TST *on his 18th birthday*. This man is living the dream
well about damn time
I could listen to that exhaust note all day...
I can't imagine insurance lol
I had an IROC-Z Camaro when I was 19, and was paying $460 A MONTH for full coverage.
Terry Hesticles that is insane.
Probably in his parents name and he is an approved driver.
Chris Cahill I would imagine that is the case. My parents didn't buy me a car when I was young but we put my car in my dads name and on his insurance with me as the driver so it never costed much, plus I just had older cars too so I didn't have full coverage on them.
For just liability coverage it was $379/mo.
I promptly wrapped the car around a utility pole, one foggy night, so...I'm not sure I really blame 'em.
We are all very cynical and critical of people, i am happy for the kid.
Sounds like a nice guy, happy upbeat.
Best of luck buddy.
Anyone else getting massive audio-video desync?
Great review, I own one and if you want the interior creeks and rattles to almost disappear then i recommend, Kenny brown matrix subframe system. Easily one of the best mods I did so far. Good luck!
Oh look, a cool Milhouse
LuLz
L O V E the sound of that motor and exhaust. Perfect.
The terminator got its name because it terminated the original produced Camaro (1967-2002)
alexander1485 terminator was the project code name in 2002
alexander1485 uhhh needed a supercharger to do anything....on raw power......nope
Hassan Talib Has a built motor from factory that can hold more hp than any ls motor ever made. Nice attempt to clap back. The new lt1 cant even handle more than 800whp meanwhile the gen 2 and gen 3 coyotes are making 1000-1200hp on the stock motor. Termi can handle around 900 on a good tune. Ls motors are push rod hunk of shits.
Archangel_4sixx no bias at all there
My na 03 Z06 burys these
Congrats driving the best sounding V8 ever created.
I dont get how these mustang jokes are still a thing...
pathetic mustang/ford haters that's why.
stupid fucks.
@@mikez1017 cars don't crash on their own. it takes a stupid driver, so the cars are never to blame. that's as dumb as saying guns kill people. no, people kill people.
43 seconds in and I already knew this was a perversion of a car. A car a rich kid got and modified. Wish you blew it up on the way.
this is why people at car meets get run over by Mustangs... who just gives a 16/17 year old a cobra? as their first car!!
Lachlan budd parents who have trust in their children?
Drew McCarthy idiots
Most Mustangs owners running over people are mid-life crisis-having +40 year olds.
let s ban all cars!!
It's actually mostly the older guys most kids go for more like subarus and stuff like that. The kids that get cars like this general understand what it is and know they have to respect the car.
I could have one of these totally stock and be more than happy with it. 390/390 was a lot in 2003 and is still a lot to me now. Although I have to admit getting just changing the pulling adding up to 70hp would be enticing. The simple upgrades available on these cars is insane.
Lucky fucker... Can't really afford one yet so I had to settle for a gto lol I've also been hearing alot of reliability issues with cobras. Still lovem tho
Manuel Martinez gto even better
Not even close man. Don't get me wrong I like it and love the cammed ls but as far as dollar for dollar not much can beat the power of a cobra. And parts for a gto are harder to find.
I had The ls2 400 horsepower gto took out 2 termis by 1/2 car mine was a 2006 ....what year is yours?
David Wade 2005. Mines making 440 whp it's fast but I'm just saying a Bolton cobra makes 500whp.. Bolton vs Bolton cobra wins every time. Gto is a lot more comfortable though. Wish I could own both haha
Lol ya the gto very comfortable high quality seats cobra is koo but if i could id take the gt500 those are badass
Glad the kid mentioned the Mach 1 as I currently own a 2004 in Azure Blue. Sure they don't hold as much value as a Cobra, but they are more expensive and harder to come by than say a V6 or GT and they're still very much sought after for it being 13 years old. Get compliments from older gentlemen in particular all the time lol and nothing beats the sound of the 4 Valves🙌🏼
Terminators are legends, think about it this car came out in 2003 and still sells for over 27,000 with over 45k miles on them
18 and with a Cobra..Good luck mate. Respect it
As a cobra owner, I approve this video
I'm not a mustang guy, but this one take seemed a bit short for one of the legendary cars of the 2000s, would have loved to hear that supercharger scream for a few more minutes :). That said, thanks for the free content, I'm certainly not complaining!
Owner is chill. Great video!
Its a shame that the audio is so out of sync in this video. Sounds like there was supposed to be an intro image/animation with the sound effects, but just goes straight to you talking.
