7:05 I wish today's car ads were this catchy.
Agreed ⚡
Yea me too
I wich the car comercials were like the the old ones
Just look at the Pontiac GTO comercial 🤣🤣
Guilherme Batista exactly, now it’s just shit.
I was expecting a bit more about the 2004 Mustang Terminator A.K.A The Terminator Cobra 😕😯
Grabbing a beer with James should be an Omaze prize. Flight included 🙂

I'd buy so many entries for that one!

The SVT Contour was one of the weirdest but most fascinating cars I've ever driven. Nice work my dudes!
I’m restoring a completely stock 1999 tropic green SVT contour. Bought the car a few years ago taking my time to restore it properly. I also have a 97 sport model I daily drive and can’t wait to see what the difference is in the driving experience.
Used to own a 1998 E0 Silver frost in high school and it was amazing. Except I replaced like 35 water pumps...
@@BlueSupreme I had that same car (color)! I would go to meets and see a sea of silver and red and my car would sick out like a sore thumb...loved it! Best color they made IMO. I put 190k on it and the person I sold it to put another 50k on it. I only replaced a clutch in my time with car. I take issue with performance not being available out of the box to people who can't afford a 50k+ price tag. My Contour new was about 21k but it was one of the funnest cars I've ever owned! Current car is a 2018 Focus ST also an affordable performance car no longer on sale! Duo!
I loved my Svt contour!!!! It ate alternators and starters but I really miss it. Super fun car to drive.
My Dad bought my Mom one and had it less than 24hrs and 100miles and a I blew a rod in it dicking around on my way to the store. My dad somehow worked his salesman magic and had replaced with a used Taurus with 5k miles. I wasn’t allowed to drive their vehicles for the next decade
Things you need to mention for a good up to speed video
1. Oil crisis
2. Post Malone’s birthday
3. Hrsprs
4. “Win on Sunday sell on Monday”
U forgot mopowababeh
And his dad.
Yes. The “Gas Crisis”.
We *need* to talk about that.
We *have* to talk about that.
"This is for you blue oval boys" inserts add for a Corvette giveaway 😂
(Thinks about if I win I sell it to buy Mustangs)
J I plus those mustangs will come with a complimentary purse and make up set
EDITOR: start doing a live count for each time James switches which hand he holds the mic with
Now that's all I can look at now ./.
That would be GOLDEN
Take a shot every time he switches hands 🤣
What? A drinking game where you have a shot of tequila everytime he changes of hand? I'm in!
Ricardo E. Slap this on with the boys and salud 🍻
A heart attack,
wow
I'm Glad you're doing well now.
Imagine a world where James died from the heart attack.
Now think about how damn lucky we are that God said, "Nah" and didn't kill him. The hero we don't deserve, but the one we need. We love you, James.

The 10th Gen Lightning was an absolute perfect hot rod truck. So glad you touched on the R model Cobras. The 2000 R will always be my favorite car ever!!! EVER!!!

@@James-es1fg so u can just skip it🤣
Colby Mann wait is it actually you who edits these videos.
I died a little when James said it was a 2.4L in the SVO.
bro same its a 2.3L dammit
I was thinking the same thing. Whoever did the research for the episode didn't do a very good job. They have a good bit of stuff wrong.
And when he said the Cobra got the 5.0 in the SN95 that "normally got the 4.6." The 94-95 GT got the 5.0, and the 96 got the 4.6, when the Cobra moved to a 4 valve 4.6
Nolan just sounds like he likes the regular plain Cheerios
Anyone else notice when he said they made 1,000 Terminators in Mystichrome? It was really 1,010, I guess he rounded pretty close but still, 1,000 is wrong.
We just gonna act like you didn’t have a heart attack?!

13:57 “the 1999 cobra SVT R was released in 1999” lol when you got a 1000 word essay
Hmm yes the floor here is made of...floor
Ugh ya kiddo, new to cars? Model years just about always come out the year before. So a model year 1999 car that was released in 1999 is pretty odd, normally a 1999 would be released in 1998.
99 svt was not a R
Ahhh yesss
10,000 word essay had to write one
The 95 mustang gts all had 5.0 , the 4.6 wasn't available until 96 . The 94 and 95 gt still had the 5 liter . They are easy to spot, the ones with the horizontal grate taillights , in 96 through 98 the grates were vertical.
Also don’t the later GTs have a GT 4.6 badge on the side?
They did but the cobra had a 4.6 4v. The same motor as in the Lincoln mk8. Made way for the mach 1 and later “C head” 4.6’s like the termi but a Mustang w w a 4.6 gt badge is nothing other than a 2v from 96-98.
@@hunterjernigan2535 interestingly enough the Mach 1 4v shares everything with the terminator aside from the intake and rotating assembly, whatever heads the terminator got, the Mach 1 also got the, so it's possible to find the AG and AF heads on a mach, but also the DA, DB, and DC heads on 2004 models, meaning if you strengthen it's rotating assembly, you can turn a mach 1 into a terminator
Watching this after seeing a 2000 SVT R on the road last night. That car is hands down the coolest American car ever made.
i gotta say the chapters division makes it more professional. Keep up the good work doods
u can tell james is genuinely into this episode...so glad he's back
Other dude was just cringey and bad
how can i pin this comment???

I knew practically nothing about cars 2 weeks ago. But I’ve been watching HILOW and money pit religiously, and I’ve learned so much about cars how they work and how to do easy fixes! You guys are awesome and I can’t thank you enough!
Had a 99 cobra. Scored it for $500. Awesome car. After some minor repairs I was in it for 1800, sold it 2 years later for $6000. Should have kept it!
8:58 Cobra Charming LOL
Not just a Cobra Charming. Its SVT Cobra Charming. 🐍
Hey, James. I just wanted to stop and say that, I really, really appreciate what you do. I come from a family that is known for heart disease. My grandparents lost three of their five children to heart attacks. All three of them had one thing in common, they were all gearheads. They rode dirt bikes, raced late models, owned the most badass cars, (i.e. Ford blue 74 Torino Elite with the matching blue vinyl top), and nonetheless rode life balls to the wall. Thank you, James. Thank you so much for what you and the rest of the guys at Donut do. It means a lot more than you can imagine. -Shaun from IL.

As a owner of 3 Ford Performance vehicles, I've waited so long for this episode. Thanks Donut!

"Seriously Vicious Tomatoes"

I totally agree, but maybe the reason he doesn’t is because it’s a sore topic and he jokes to cope with it.

@@mattsandoe1183 y e s
I can see a heavy metal themed shirt for that name.
Thank you guys for noting John Colletti. He was the the guy who made the Terminator Cobra so great by pushing Ford for the Eaton m112 supercharger and Manley rods. His book "Iron fist lead foot" talks about it all and is a good read.
This is one of my favorite episodes with the animation, and James' s cobra impressions!!!!!
The trucks turbo on the quarter mile scared my dog 😂
"This is for my blue oval boys, you guys tryna win a Corvette?"
Got Goosebumps like 5 times watching this.. SVT baby , pops got a 99 cobra back in 07 and been with it ever since, first car I drove manual in... respect.
James, I had a stroke at 37 years old this past January. Changes have to be made, but I know how hard it is to make them. With that being said, you're doing good brother!
Worry about these types of things. What types of lifestyle changes did you have to make; if you don’t mind my asking? I’m 39 and trying to live a healthier lifestyle.
when you're faster than the pagani guy who keeps asking about james's dad: *I am up to speed*

@@bruno1700 Oh god. Not another Old town road remix lmao
Just wanted to point out that the 2000 Cobra R's 5.4 isn't the same as the lightning's "without the blower". Its a completely different engine, with 4v heads and way higher compression. Otherwise, this was an awesome video! Nice to see the 99 cobra get some love 😁
I bought a 1998 Ford SVT contour in silver and put dark grey BBS wheels on it and eliminated the mufflers , , put a cold air intake and at the time 1998 it was a bad ass beast! I used it for years and it tore up competition back then. Loved it!!!
When are you doing a Up To Speed on "Isle Of Man TT"
that'll be a hell of an episode!
My neighbor has an SVT Cobra from the late 90’s in yellow with side exhausts, it is a beautiful car, pretty much like the one on the thumbnail but in the best color known to cars, Yellow.
you guys make my day better each episode you upload props
Me and my dads project car an 04 Mystichrome. It’s a rebuilt title and needed some work. But we brought it back to life. Super awesome car I love it.
One thing about the 03-04 cobra is they were underrated in HP. They made quite a bit more than advertised.
My dad's SVT Focus is the sole reason my life revolves around cars now
My old man had one too! Lol 2003 5door, sonic blue with the limited edition SVT 18s and the European appearance package, plus it had every option including a freaking block heater for the winter lol it was like number 230 of 300 and something for that year with those options. Awesome little car. It's why I bought a SVT Contour for my first car years ago lol
@@Admiral_Potato41 I miss my SVT Focus so much. The MazdaSpeed3 is fun, but it's not quite as much of a driver's car as my SVT was.
I was gonna buy my buddy's red SVT focus for my first car but I found a '92 Vette, Would love to get my hands on a '13-'15 ST
My best friend still has his 03 SVT with both euro and cold weather packs, and upgraded 6spoke SVT wheels (he dented his 5 spokes when we were young hooning around).
His car is the reason I got into cars myself-and the reason I own a GTI today. I would still love to be lucky enough to find one. I drove his a few months ago and I loooooved how notchy that hear box was with that mega light clutch. 🥰
@@travisburch4907 My first car was a 85' GTi 1.8L 8v I still think about it now. It could redline all day and would shoot flames out the tailpipe. When I traded it in for another car it 425k miles on it and could still shoot flames out the tailpipe!
Broooo when he started making cobra noises I lost it.
Was hoping you’d make a bigger deal of the Terminator. That car is a legend. Still to this day when I see one I smile like I did the year I graduated...2003
“This is for my blue oval bois” then a insert GM corvette omaze ad... haha
Hey I love Ford but I'd definitely take a free C8 Corvette any day of the week 😂 Those things are sweet
Day 162 of asking James to do an Up to speed on his Dad
I found you, my day is complete
Keep it going bro!!!!!
PaganiGaming
i came to the video just to see your comment.
He should totally do it
i predict it will be released at day 240
I had an 02' Sonic Blue SVT Focus and it was an awesome little car. Probably the best sounding 4cyl motor out there. IMO.
Aww man, I remember teenage me, searching junkyards for parts for my pos 93 cobra. Loved that car. Lots of memories.
Hey where’s the guy who always asks for an uptospeed on Jame’s dad ?
I hope he's alright.

So sad the sn95 didn't get talked about more. I have a 96 cobra and was pumped to hear about them
My neighbor across the street from me has a blue '01 SVT Lightning and my other neighbor down the block has two Kenne Bell Cobras. He's got an orange and black '03 coupe and a Mystichrome '04 convertible. They let me ride in them a few times and once they trusted me enough, I got to take them for a test drive. I also drove a Focus ST and an RS when I used to work valet in college. If I ever get to drive a Cobra R and a Shelby GT500, my SVT dream will be 100% fulfilled.
Finally, I’ve been waiting for this for so long. But note, the svo had a 2.3L not a 2.4. And the 95 cobra R had a 5.8L not a 5.0.
There was so much incorrect information in this episode
ZRX_twin yeah bums me out a bit, still enjoyed it.
and.. the 94 and 95 were not available at all with a 4.6
You guys make me so proud. Took the words right out of my mouth.
Budget Power Garage it’s the least we can do
An episode of up to speed on the Ford Falcon would be awesome 👍
Fun fact: SVT actually helped with the development of the 7th gen Fiesta ST (and I believe Focus ST as well)
But they may be the last SVT passenger cars we see sadly...
I started watching donut to learn about cars.. now I watch donut just to see James be so funny!
The Capri was the Mustang of Europe
The second generation ford lightning is one of the most beautiful trucks ever
gotta say guys, the SHO is seriously my all time favorite car. I daily drive a 90' model, and I honestly just love this car, so I'm really glad we got, like, a 3rd time mentioning the SHO on the channel. Hopefully it gets more young people interested and buying them up so I get some newer information to see how to fix mine instead of looking at forums from 2006 lmao
10:59 ... LIGHTNING ⚡️⚡️⚡️ 😂😂😂 James I really love your up to speed shows 💯👌🏾
5:34 Nope, it was a 2.3L turbo Pinto engine. The Pinto engine never came in 2.4L.
Yeah...I didn't want to be a captain know it all...but I concour...2.3 NOT 2.4L?
Yeah like 99.99% sure its the older 2.3 that was also in the Mustang II
Yup, 2.3, pinto, mustang ii, mustang, ranger, tractors, boats and so on
Glad you pointed that out but the engine platform is the 2.3 LIMA engine.
Yup 2.3 I got the same thing in my xr4ti
Was really hoping they’d go over the ‘95 cobra R...😭 EDIT: Oh so we gonna act like the ‘96 Mystic Cobra didn’t exist and the ‘04 was the only one

Yeah the 95 cobra R had a 351 in it. One of my favorite cobra R.
8:57 made my day 😛😂
im happy you feeling better now honestly your the best youtuber on RUclips and I like watching all your videos no homo.
10:01 actually the first 2 years of the SN95 platform (94-95) they kept the 5.0 in the GT it wasn't until 96 that the 5.0 was dropped and the modular 4.6 was put in every GT and Cobra except the Cobra R in 95 which got a 351.
yeah he missed a few things
Yep! And he mentioned the IRS in 99, when they really started in 03 w the termi
Mitch Nelsen nope. 1999 was the first year with a 4 valve and IRS.
Mitch Nelsen 99 had irs. First year of it
@@therisensun9277 The 99 Cobra did have an IRS
One of my favorite trips to the junkyard was in a clapped out SVT Contour.
My first car was a base contour so now of course the svt version is on my dream list. 👌

*inhales* BOI
I seen a SVT Contour street/show car when i was a kid and feel in love. Theyre just an awesome looking car when done right.
The progress bar during the ad read is a very nice touch
I hoping you were going to go more in detail with the 03-04 mustang terminator. This car is seriously a monster, and was the dodge demon in it time and probably still is. A car that can make 800 hpwith a few mods and still be dependable. Overall this was a great video and i have been waiting for a up to speed on svt since last year
Please do a show about the Focus SVT specifically. I was excited to see your title but the video had almost no information about the Focus.
Agreed, I was expecting to see more about the SVT Focus. As far as the tuner hatchbacks, it was one of America's biggest players in it's day and gave the Si of similar generation a run for it's money, having more HP + TQ and weighing only a few lbs more.
@@kwbalance108 indeed, I've owned mine for a couple years and love it. The best fwd car I've driven. Not real fast but fun and practical.
I inherited my dads, which he bought new. Its an amazing little car. Not too fast, but has handling so good I almost dont care
I have been asking for up to speed on focus for so long. There's 4 generations man its time for up to speed on ford focus! And the resurgence of ST and RS from the ashes. They have euro and us versions there so much stuff they could talk about. focus so underrated imo. I love my ZX4.
Thomas Kanalu there is an up to speed on the ford focus...
YOOOOOOO he name-dropped the Ford Tempo! That is my car now and I love it!
