I bought a 2003 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra 10th Anniversary aka Terminator Cobra. It was the cheapest one in North America that was running, has a clean title, needs nearly nothing, and can be driven and enjoyed as is. In this video, I'm driving the SVT Cobra in it's final form after all the modifications. Thanks to Summit Racing, Borla Exhaust, Maximum Motorsports, Steeda, and Makers Garage for supporting this build series.

I don’t believe the series is over. Give it some time and you will want to do more. Happened to me 😅.
It’s never over is it 😂
@@itsreallyjakub sir please don’t let this be over. You have made me even more of a fan of this car.
I see a bigger supercharger, lol😂
This was a bad ass series. Awesome car Jakub !
Thanks!!
This was a good series - lots of nostalgia with these cars
I love your Vette. This is the first watch of any of your Cobra videos. Now I have to watch all of them. This looks epic.
Appreciate that thanks
Just a great build and series. Great work Jakub. So fun and relatable. I would do the exact same things and keep sitting on the fence. Way to represent us enthusiasts.
Thanks so much
Looks and sounds great. It almost looks weird to me because I’ve rarely seen one of these on lowering springs and I used to see these daily.
These types of videos are my favorite. Great results without going insane. Alex Palmeri in Chicago would rate this an awesome “Legit Street Car”.
Alex is my boy we text every few weeks
Okay I have to make a list here:
1. 0:00 what were those shots?! I thought I was stuck in infinite tsukuyomi (Naruto reference if someone doesn't know). I LOVED that part.
2. Borla exhausts and Mustangs go hand in hand like a lock and its key. I feel like they bring out the pops and burbles of all the V8s Ford put in the Mustangs. Drove a 2015 GT with Borla and the sound was heavenly.
3. I absolutely hate when car RUclipsrs scream unnecessarily or even talk whenever they're ripping; the viewers just miss the pure sound of the engine. I can name so many off the top of my head that do this regularly. But THIS video, the fact the entirety of it was you driving it and you just naturally didn't talk whenever you were going fast, somehow wind noise was so minimal, your voice was clear & understandable when talking, etc etc list goes on; you couldn't have chosen a better way to record this video.
4. 3:50 *Vin Diesel's voice* Man sacrificed so much for Family
5. I was kidding about skipping this video 😂
Hahahah thanks so much. Really appreciate the talking comment
Congratulations man! You have a car in your garage for every purpose 😎 all car enthusiasts want that
Living the dream for real. Next week’s video will solidify that
I love the opening shot with all the passes cut together. I could have watched 10 minutes of flybys.
That way that you hear the weeeeee gear 2 weeeeeeeee straight hellcat vibes 🔥
Weeeeeee
Beautiful car and build. Perfect selection of mods as well.
Thank you!
Congrats! Standard mods are standard for a reason... they work well and look good! This is a nice adult build with all the fun stuff and none of the cheap exterior junk.
I appreciate that you appreciate that
Nice series. I have a 20000 mile 03 dsg I've owned since 06. Been sitting since 18. I need to do something with it
Really like what you did with the car ! This Borla catback sounds so good, glad you haven't ruined the sound with going too loud,those cars sound sooo good with the right exhaust.. Still think the suspension is 1 inch too low tho...
Thanks!
Makes me want one even more watching these videos let there be more🙏
Highly recommend buying one
Great build
It sounds like Mad Max in the Northern Tundra. I am glad it came out the way you wanted it to. A lot of backroads for you to let that Cobra just go flat out. Can't wait to see your next project...
🐍🔥🔥🔥
Window tint is needed😎
Coming
I’m gonna be building mine almost identically to yours, mine is actually a Canadian 04 cobra but i bought it in Florida!
Haha right on. Call it the snowbird
Looks great! Enjoy your Stang!
I vote BBS RKs next and a Hurst short shifter
Fun series to watch. I know you say it’s done, but once you see how easy it is to get 600~700 rear wheel hp, you’ll ditch that eaton quick. Ask me how I know.
But the sound of the eaton is the best
Turned out really nice Jakub. I think all that it needs is rear window black out tint. 🤘
Tint hasn’t been replaced yet
Dude I know it's not the last one that's for sure but please consider keeping the "heaton". My buddy had a black 03 in the same spec as my 03 cobra (got it after I beat his manual 7 speed 911 S at the time ;P) and he went with the Whipple crusher kit and I kept my Eaton and did everything to it I could, because of that whine. I called her "water boy" and no blower sounds the same except the kenni bell 2.2 (which is not reliable and at this point isn't worth the headache). You can do some content on maximizing the Eaton and that would be beneficial because I've been in turbo 03's, vmp 03's, Whipple 03's, and pro charged 03's (not great). The Eaton is the perfect blower and you can keep it stock + looking, which is iconic. Now would be a good time to start the resto to stock look of the cobra because its gonna be a long lasting classic imo. Heat exchanger, killer chiller, 25 shot of nitrous, etc can keep the iat temps cool enough to not Heat soak or even detonate (learned the hard way at the first ever "wannagofast" 1/2 mile event in Ocala FL). Nothing sounds as mean or "feels" as violent as your settup you have while not blowing money for things that arnt as fun. Also, the return style fuel system is overkill so your definatly going to change the blower... but don't get ride of it. I think you may want it back. Again, content on going oem stock + and working on the Eaton will be as good of content, if not better than upgrading the blower, imo.
Thanks for that story. The heaton is staying for now. I love the sound too much
It sounds SO good!
👍👍
Just throwing a feeler out there… you seem like you have good taste. I would’ve done this car the exact same way. With that being said… to go with the chrome wheels… I would 100% add chrome cobra letter inserts into the rear bumper. Either way it’s a sweet car. Enjoy!
I debated it. Might do it in the future or another alternative I’ve been thinking about. I didn’t do it yet because I think I’m going to paint both front and rear bumpers
@@itsreallyjakub I love the inserts on a black car. It just pops. Either way it looks great. My neighbor has one and he went with ccw classics on his. It does look sweet but the classic 5 spokes on any mustang always look perfect
I still can’t believe the price you paid to pick this car up, unbelievable but and the build looks amazing!
Yeah I still feel like I stole it, even with the price of mods
Nice build, I see a supercharger upgrade in the future!
Awesome Cobra, i watched most of your vids on it. In 1996 I bought a new 96 Mustang GT with a 5 speed manual, black on black with optional 18 in rims. Loved that car, tons of torque but no so much hp.
Last April i bought my first ever Corvette a 1999 C5 Hardtop, with only 18k miles. Driven it about 5k miles since then. First thing i did was have all the tensioners and pulleys replaced along with a new Interstate battery. Earlier this spring i had to replace the Harmonic Balancer along with a coolant flush. Cant compare a Vette to a Cobra in terms of style and function but the more i watch your vids, i wouldn't mind selling my C5 and finding a good non-molested 03-04 Cobra SVT. Probably are very few non-molested samples remaining here in the US.... but you never know.
C5Z to terminator I would probably do the trade. My C6Z to terminator I wouldn’t. But I get to bring my wife and kid and that’s the best
@@itsreallyjakub my C5 is a hardtop not a Z06. First year they came out in 1999. Low VIN 0229. It’s in near showroom condition. It’s not my daily, I have a 2002 Lexus ES300 with 185k miles in excellent condition which puts me to sleep with an ultra quiet ride. LOLOLOL. I’ll keep an eye out for an unmodified 03-04 terminator and see what happens.
@@stephendibari5010 unmodified terminator will be like a needle in a haystack and you’ll probably have to pay a good chunk for it since I assume it will likely be some kind of low mileage collector example
@@itsreallyjakub agree. 👍
This car is perfection. It just deserves better seats, like Recaro, Sparco or some red-suede Status would be 🔥and maybe a BBK 🔥🔥🔥.
We need to go for a cruise, like we did way back when man :)
Love the build series. For the suspension I don’t know if you added subframe connectors
Not yet but on the future list
I really enjoyed this series
🤜mopar
I might actually get one of these now after reading all the quirks and things you gotta do to a 02-04 Z06 and im not feeling the vette anymore unless i get a regular manual 2008 and up vette and modify it but we'll see. Funny how these cobras are priced higher now which blows. Ill just have to shop all over the states and take a plane and drive back. Love your cobra,still an old dream i never accomplished,i had a 96 cobra but that aint the same,lol. I did have 5 mustangs total in my lifetime too.
Driving back from a flight would be super fun
You should paint it mystichrome
Port the blower !!!
Great asshole, now I want one more than I already had! 😂❤ Thanks Jakub, really love these types of video. A C6z/Cobra comparison would be pretty cool.
Hahahah get one, I love it so much
No one with a Terminator has ever been true to the words "it's done" 😂
You have a perfect opportunity to call this the "King Cobra"
👑🐍
0:29 since I watched every single episode, I guess I am skipping this video. Cya in the next one!
I would have preferred some different wheels, personally, but other than that, very tasteful build. that SC whine is SICK! I had a C7Z06 and even with a pulley and aftermarket SC cover I didn't get that kind of whine!
Those GM blowers just never whine
Great transformation, awesome car 👍
Zajebista robota!
The more I see the wheels, the more I like them.
There you go
Finale? It's only over if you sell it.
Haha it’s done as in I just did the things I really wanted to do this year
Love the build!!! Only question I have is how the heck do you afford all this??? I mean what do you do to be able to to splurge on this build
I review cars full time on my other channel The Straight Pipes. Thanks to that and the sponsors that helped out on this build
What camera are you using? The 4K is crystal clear.
Would you believe me if I said iPhone 14 Pro and insta 360 x2? Because that’s all I used for this video lol
Thoroughly enjoyed. 🫡
Not bad from what I started with eh
@@itsreallyjakub not at all. Incredible transformation
Does it have full length subframe connectors?
Not yet
I like it 🙂
ITS DONE 😂😂😂😂 you’re funny
😂🤣
We need a comparison between terminator and z06.
Z06 wins for speed no contest lol
would an 03 with 79k miles be sketchy to try and daily drive? someone is offering to trade me straight up for my 2016 focus rs with 48k miles. does that sound like a fair trade?
Not sure exactly how much used focus rs are worth. Seems pretty fair though. Can easily daily a cobra but the heavy clutch might get old if you do a lot of driving in traffic
Do a widebodyyyyyyyyyy
You doing anything with the infotainment?
Not at this time but maybe some CarPlay in the future
Great Cobra🎉, now onto Kei truck with hayabusa swap 😂
Challenge accepted
It's cool but Z06>Cobra Mustang....E55 Wagon>Z06. This comes from a Z06 owner!
Haha yes good thing I can make all those choices to drive
No offense, but I think thumbnails without you in it is probably better in my opinion, just like on your main channel. But great content otherwise👌👌
Not offended, they’re stupid but I’m having fun
@@jonlosito2004 no offense but I'd rather not see your face.
@@charlesm7677 What do you do when you're watching the video and his face is on screen?
And the wheels are perfect on it
Like I said in the previous video, I'm so jealous, yet very happy for you, Jakub. Congrats man thanks for the ride along and letting me be there to share your Cobra build experience. Again, I'm still like a deer 🦌 in headlights when I see one of these, especially on lowering spings. By the way, I like the fact that you did an intro tribute to the infamous Snake Bite 2 video that rocked the internet 2 decades ago. The car that made other manufacturers retire their vehicles and made others go back to the drawing board to rethink and rebuild. #Terminator 4ever!
🙏
What a screamer. These were for sure... In my opinion, one of the best cars that offered pure comedy, hilarity, affordability... At a time when we used to Love and want each other to have something fun and fast to drive... This is something we lost over the years... Nothing quite really has the soul, of a Terminator Cobra... Love using mine as a catalyst to inspire others and bring others hearts into reality. ❤🐍Appreciate the videos!
Hell yeah 🫡
We've reached the hardest part of any car guy's build: completion. Now what? Just drive it? Impossible! :D
I’m going to try
Are the crackles in the room with us now?
Terminator: 3,800lbs
Hellcat: 4,600lbs
No matter how much HP you add to a car, you cannot overcome the feeling of weight in handling and driving dynamics. You may turn faster times, but it don't feel or drive the same as a lighter car.
It’s mostly done. It still needs a supercharger upgrade with a new tune. Then it’s done.
I still never heard you mention how much power it makes now. Only heard how much it made when you got it. Did I miss something?
Oh sorry. I put out a full dyno video before this. 455whp 491wtq on a Mustang dyno
What size tires front & rear? Thanks!
275/295
Swap GT500 brakes on, bolt on upgrade. Call up Maximum Motorsports and do everything from them. Do not end this series 😢
Hahah we’ll see. Next weeks video is going to be different
If the OPP catches you driving without a front license plate what is the ticket like? It may be worth it…take that plate off. I quite literally chose which state to live in based on whether or not front plates are required… it should be unconstitutional if you ask me.
Haha that will be taken care of once I paint the bumpers. The paint under the plate is so much shinier than the rest I couldn’t take it off for now
A word of advice, upgrade the belt tensioner and idler pulleys. I have had them and seen many fail.
I’ve been reading that. I guess I’ll have to do it someday
Jakub From Straight Pipes?
That guy
I miss mine everyday! What did you RWHP and TQ come out to?
455whp 491wtq on a Mustang dyno
I would’ve gone borla atak
Too loud for my 3yr old
When you're ready for a bit more hp/torque find a TVS 2300 blower from a Trinity GT500. I think you need some kind of kit to be able to bolt it on though. Great project!!!! I had a 13 GT500 I roll a C7 ZR1 now.
Ooooo c7 zr1 what an animal. Manual?!
@@itsreallyjakub Yes sir!!!!
@@anc5022 incredible
amazing! love the sound! I owned sn95 and it sounded cools as well but charger adds nice touch. Good luck nd hope to see you on the Ontario's roads
You said that now. But give it some time and I'm sure you can do more mods . Your car is perfect for modifications since it's a high mileage cobra . Next year in spring do the following: Whipple supercharger and wildwood brakes 👍
Does seem like a fun car both to hear and drive. Great job man!
Cobra Commander!
🫡
Hey Jakub I guess you've decided to skip the honeyseal coating on the cobra right?
For now yes, but we’ll see
I've watched everything! Loved every second of it.
I would recommend better lighting across the exterior so people can see YOU and YOU can see better. Better brake lights, turning signals, headlights, reverse lights, etc. Cheap mods for instant safety. Protect your investment!
Yeah I’ll probably get some LEDs
How come you won't put up a 0 - 60 before & after all your builds?? For me personally, upgrades are good for enhancements but if all i did was spend a BOAT LOAD & no "real" improvements then it's a waste to me. IMO
What are you talking about 😂.
Hey man great build. Curious to know what the plan is to store over the winter? What process do you follow? Wheels off and off the ground trickle charger etc. what the approach for proper storage? Keep up with the great content.
Next video will show that lol
Just in time to enjoy fall, this was an awesome series and worth watching all the videos in the series. Well done Jakub and team.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Its done for now.. Lol Mine lasted 4 years with stock eaton. Now its 2.3 whipple and e85. 650+ hp is so much fun. 😂
Hahahah hell yeah
Man the car is perfect. The stance, the sound, the color. I wish I had it. I guess I’ll just have to keep driving my 03 Gt. Poor man’s terminator lol. If I close my eyes real tight and squint then I can dream it’s one 😂😂
Hahaha enjoy yours
Do have the adjustable camber plate from the same coil over manufacturer. If yes this guy told me he could feel a bit of vibration from them compare to Steeda one. Great car.😎👍🇨🇦
Yes. I don’t notice any vibration
No mention of sub frame connectors, that would be my first mod. Very cool car though, it looks and sounds fantastic.
Not yet!
No pedestrians were harmed in the making of this video. 😂 well done.
The build series has been awesome to watch. I bought my first Terminator 20 years ago, so these vids have taken me down memory lane.
I had FR500 wheels on my first one, but if I get another it's getting those 18" SVE Cobra rims.
Here's to hoping this is only the end of the first chapter in the Terminator build. You ever hear the whine of a 2.2l Kenne Bell Supercharger? 😁
Oh yes I have heard of it. We’ll see!
Would you consider getting the SVT Cobra R wing?
Honestly never
@@itsreallyjakub awwww, it looks great anyways !!
