I have actually entire days dedicated to hunting for new music in my schedule during the week. So it is very hard. Mostly Royalty free music channels here on youtube.
It's no surprise this review has the most views. The terminator still runs the streets 12-13 years later. There's a reason a good cobra still goes for over $20k. I'll have mine until I die. Fucking love that car.

It's a very very sexy looking cobra bro and one of the best sounding cars period. I'm jealous. I'm building a fox now. Hoping to get 480 to the tires after vortech and tune. Can't wait. Love the car
BF4_Legion I told my mom I wanted a 1999-2004 mustang for my first car, then she said she wasn't buying a mustang and I asked why, she said because it's a sports car and the insurance would be to high, so all I can do is dream at this point...😧😧😧
+TORO Sharpy sports car? american muscle. And i have a 2001 and its not that bad. I get better insurance then my moms jeep grand cheroki. If you want cheaper insurance take a driving class and if you driving less then 2 hours a day tell your insurance a big discount
i thought sports car?? too when she said that, and i plan on taking a driving class, im gonna do anything i can to lower my costs, except not get a 1999-2004 mustang.
+Joe Daly you are incorrect. stock they sound very good. ive heard it in person because ive had a 01 cobra same exact engine minus internals, and supercharger. the exhaust makes it sound even better.
Terminator flybys are the best. Seeing one coming up on you, at first all you hear is blower whine, then followed by that split second where it passes with both whine and exhaust coming together, then finally ending with a screaming tyrannosaurus rex.
My son and I was there when you was there. My son just passed away at the age of 18 a month ago. We met you and lots of people. Some things are sad. But I remember meeting you.
Just correcting some facts that David P. pointed out. The independent rear suspension actually debuted in the 99 Cobra so it has been through a few life cycles. For the new edge the 04 Cobra has the best IRS. IF you have stock or mildly modded one they are very reliable. Styling wise which is subjective the 99-04 Saleen S351 will rival the 03/04 Cobra in looks and aggressiveness but will not make the 03/04 Cobra less aggressive. Lastly, they changed almost every panel on the car except the doors and decklid. The folding mirrors are different, the side skirts, hood, rear spoiler and rear bumper are all different.
My 02 gt is coyote swapped and has a vmp supercharger thinking it would relieve the itch of not having an 03 cobra but I still want one so bad. I memorized this entire video I've watched it so much.
-BuiltNotBrought Type R- it's been awesome. what made this the worst choice is that this car is in fact not a daily driver. i've had a bunch of shit break, like o rings on the injectors, battery, alternator, and i've had the hardest time getting it to pass emissions so be sure you live somewhere where you don't have to get emissions testing. i don't feel comfortable in this car. i feel like it is always going to break or shut down or something. but other than that, it's an awesome car. i've gotten so many compliments on it. still way better than the auto v6 i had before this lol
??? yeah this car was, what i'm thinking, a turbo car before i got it. it has an aeromotive fuel system, live axle, and then shorty headers are a giveaway
Lala_C yeah this car was, what i'm thinking, a turbo car before i got it. it has an aeromotive fuel system, live axle, and then shorty headers are a giveaway
Been waiting for a while to make this post but ever since I seen this video this have been my dream car finally saved up to buy one of these in 2022. 03 10th. Thanks David for all the reviews and inspirations for all us car people over the years!
One of the best Mustangs ever built, in my opinion. Incredible looks, great engine, great modding potential, IRS. It's just a shame that they're still incredibly expensive, as I'd love to buy one, I just can't justify $20,000-$25,000 for a 10+ year old mustang.
Just because your a cheap ass bro lol. So your telling me that you would spend almost 65k (depending on what your finale purchase) on a new cobra with about (650 hp) when you could spend about 25k on a used one and dump 10k more in it lol and still have a better car! For one............ YOU CAN WORK ON IT! The new car ..... you need a degree to work on it lol. So your philosophy is dumb to my opinion.
Stephen Hyche Not sure if you actually meant that comment for me or not, it doesn't make much sense. No, I would not spend $65k on a new Cobra, that's sheer lunacy. As a matter of fact, I think anyone spending the ~$35k on a new GT needs to have their head checked. If I wanted to spend $25k on a 10+ year old car, I'd buy a Porsche 911. If I wanted a 10+ year old Mustang, I'd be willing to spend about $5k-$6k and then mod it. Could probably wind up with a modded GT that looks and performs on par with the 03-04 Cobra for half the price of said Cobra, THAT'S why I can't justify the $20k-$25k for the actual Cobra.
Yes I did mean it towards u and yes its funny that u really and seriously think that it is stupid to buy a relic at a really good price..... its not just the car you are buying CHEAP ASS lol its an icon! Its the first year that it came with a supercharger! Whhhhaaaatttt. Value goes up.... come on man if your going to be a wise ass and say basically that its stupid to make a reasonably priced purchase for a legacy? Oh no still dont get it? Then you dont deserve a mustang then lol. Period bro. Sorry. Noe bitch away if you must
And fuckin no you seriously could not spend that MUCH on a gt and make it as fast as a cobra sssssssssooooorrrrrryyyy. U will have to take cobra parts and put it on a gt to make it up to ......... "par" lol SO JUST BUY THE COBRA lol you fucking twit
Terminator hits 1 million views!!! +ThatDudeinBlue Your first Domestic review to reach this accomplishment! It would be awesome to drop "The Terminator hits 1 million views" video.
Best Terminator review EVER !!!!!!What an awesome video...Thumbs up all the way !Everyone knows that the 03-04 Cobras were and still are the GREATEST Mustangs of all time :)
ThatDudeinBlue, Fantastic review of your friend's Terminator. This is, by far, one of my most favorite cars of all time. I had the opportunity to own a '98 Cobra, which after some work, was no slouch by any means. This car however is what my Cobra dreamed to be. With all that said, your production quality was excellent AND you have a great personality. Plus, you drove the SHIT OUTTA THAT SNAKE! WHOOHOO! Wish I could've been there hoss! Well, that's all for now. PEACE!
I'm a 70 year old woman and before I die I want to park my Nissan Sentra and get me a Cobra. One passed me on a mountain road in Oregon and it brought tears to my eyes.
Older video, but they changed more than the bumper and the "wing". They changed the hood, rocker panels, front fascia, rear fascia and spoiler. The rear view mirrors are also different and painted, and as part of the spoiler changes, the 3rd brake light is LED and relocated to be in the spoiler. As part of all of that, the Cobra is actually a little bit longer than other New Edge mustangs, the hood is longer due to a mistake in manufacturing. Also, the exhaust is different which is cosmetic because it is distinctly different looking from the back, the pipes are horizontal under the tank.
+Chris Duval The exhaust is different, but not for cosmetic reasons. The exhaust is made to clear the IRS set up in the back. The GT's and even the Mach's have a solid axle, so the exhaust goes over the axle, then down to the outlets. (sources, I own one)
I remember being super into imports and wanted a r33 gtst (the one i could afford) and saw that you had to dump $14k in order to get 530whp reliably. Huge mod list. Then i got into mustangs and now this is my dream car. My jaw dropped to the floor when i found out you can make around 500-530 wheel just by porting the blower, smaller pulley, and bolt ons.
I wanted a Cobra when i was looking for my 5.0 and I still kind of wish I would of went with the Cobra. The ultimate decision was that I already had an 04 GT and the cobra was my crush. I will one day own a Cobra but the want for one is just making work harder and at some point I will give in and let the snake bite.
Thanks man, but a v6 can be deadly if you do the right builds. My friends 2011 stang v6 is killing 2012+ 5.0s on a daily. All he's got is bolt-ons, bama tune and 3.73 gears. I've never seen a v6 go so hard
Yeah man, enjoy what you have and make the best out of it! I'm most likely going to sell my 97 for 6k when im ready to buy the termi. I'm just get a s281 spoiler, smoke the lights and maybe procharge it
I got one of the first 2003 cobras in Sonic Blue back in July of 2002. 22 years old and just "had to have it." It still stands as one of my favorite cars I have owned. It's power, looks and build quality completely hold up today and has aged well. One thing with the review though is that they also changed the hood completely from the 99-01 Cobra. The rear bumper was also different. The interior got some enhancements as well. I thought I could never "move up" from the cobra as a car guy but I eventually bought a 2000 Viper GTS ACR in 09 when the prices were bottomed. Amazing vehicle but some of the problems and maintenance motivated me to upgrade to a black on black 2015 Viper GT with the black Sidewinder wheels and 18 speaker Harmon Kardon sound system. Thankfully I have a wife who makes way more than me and loves cars too. Bottom line; amazing cars and AMAZING videos @ThatDudeinBlue. Kepe making these. I rarely post or like or subscribe but you have another one with me; especially with the review of the 2001 Viper and the 2014 TA "Driver Mod" car.
This is still my favorite video you’ve ever done...love going back to this one...driving my gt around town today and you’ll never guess what I saw in my rear view mirror..a black terminator cobra...it was beautiful and in amazing shape. If all goes well I will have one in my garage next year.
This car is f****** amazing! The sound it makes....I can't describe it - it gives me goosebumps! One minor gripe I have about these cars, I don't like the letters on the back bumper, it looks a bit tacky....that's just my opinion though, still a RADICALLY AWESOME car!
A good video is always good. Watched this the first week it released and I come back for the wailing supercharger every few months and even in 2022 I still can't get enough. Awesome Job David keep up the awesome work. 😁
God I wish American cars had semi decent interiors. This car is awesome...until you see the interior but I suppose you don't care when it sounds that good.
It shouldn't and doesn't have to be a family car to have a decent interior. Look at the C63 Coupe. Its basically the German equivalent to this car and (although optional) you can get wood trim in the interior, and it has leather all over the place from the very base model. I suppose you get what you pay for though, American muscle cars cost next to nothing when compared to something European of the same spec. *cough* *cough* C63.
My uncle bought one of these brand new in ‘03. He let me drive it. I’m still in love with that car. Only problem he ever had with it was transmission. Replaced under warranty. I still remember the signatures on the valve cover.
tsquickgt1 There is a lot more to a Terminator than just the sound. I am lucky to own a very nice mustang collection and between my shelbys my 93cobra and my 04 cobra in my opinion my Terminator ranks right up with my supersnakes and my gt500.Anyone that knows mustangs knows what a supersnake is and I rank the future value of my lower milage Terminator up there with my supersnakes and that is saying a lot.
Never liked Termis or heard about it until a good friend brought one to the shop and i hand-built the 4.6 for a rebuild with better pistons and a valve job and many many more improvements. When it first started it ran without a problem (and still running to this day). A couple days later he handed me the keys and let me drive it. He told me you mostly put in the work it so drive it. It put the biggest smile on my face when the FIRST engine we built put power down like a monster. I take pride in that motor we built because it's a goddamn monster. I grew to like this car.
kevin soos yes a terminator would. Well it would be down to driver of course but with equally skilled drivers the cobra would be faster.... Forced induction is no joke.
back for the 100th time, its 2020, when this was uploaded I wasn't even 16. This video lead me to buying my own 03 Cobra. Thank you David from the bottom of my heart
Stock 03/04 cobra's do NOT come with a cobra emblem in the grill. They have a pony, just like a regular mustang. I have kept mine as it keeps it more of a sleeper to the untrained eye!
Terminators are only scary if they are a dark color, and a coup. Convertible terminators dont look as good. And if they are yellow or a bright color, its even worse.
+Darkstar22177 black cobra coupe (hardtop) is the best version of this generation in my opinion. currently trying to trade my lifted wrangler for a heavily modded one
I am really considering this one right now: sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/5359256697.html It seems too perfect to be real because of its price, but I think I've seen it in person at a gun range before lol
not really too good to be true, i mean the ported heaton is nice i guess over stock but i wouldn't even bother modding that blower lol. it's a fair price. i seen termi's with just a little more miles go for like 17k or less if you really look an wait ect. i see kenne belle/whipple termis for like 22-23k all the time.
Bought mine in 2020, and it is an amazing machine! The long gears and Whipple just put a huge smile on anyone who is in it. TDB is spot on when he stomps the gas, you get a look of concern, then you're laughing at what just happened.
If you are in Chicago land area and are interested in reviewing a 950whp Turbo Trans Am WS6 let me know. Just a quiet streetcar. Not as loud as that mustang.
Oh.My.LAWD does this car sound good.
Thanks for watching!
Great vid David. Can I ask where/how you get the music you use in these videos? I have a hard time finding music thats allowed on youtube!
I have actually entire days dedicated to hunting for new music in my schedule during the week. So it is very hard. Mostly Royalty free music channels here on youtube.
Ok so its not just me. Ha. Keep it up man! Thanks
holy CRAP I love Pegboard Nerds!!! Awesome song choice :3
My favorite review of my favorite car, thank you blue... thank you \(-ㅂ-)/
Here I am. Back watching this video for about the 300th time lol never gets old!
Same
Yesssss
Same here.. Best vid on this channel.. Maybe even best on RUclips IMO
+eli sternfels haha YESSS I even know all the words he says 😂😂😂
Same lol

I'm thinking the same or a good down payment on a 13-14 GT 500 for me.

one of the best/loudest sounding exhausts i've heard on a termi.
def better than stingers? seems like it.
***** Thanks, definitely louder than stingers!
Better just depends on the person!
It's a very very sexy looking cobra bro and one of the best sounding cars period. I'm jealous. I'm building a fox now. Hoping to get 480 to the tires after vortech and tune. Can't wait. Love the car
Appreciate it! I will be doing a vortech YSI, H/C, stroker, soon! (:
Just got my 03 cobra dynod at 487 today! Have you planned on getting bigger injectors?
Anyone else agree it is meaner than a hellcat?
hell yes I do.
+TORO Sharpy if ford took that engine and put the same amount of money the hellcat has in and made it better the hellcat would get walked on all day
BF4_Legion I told my mom I wanted a 1999-2004 mustang for my first car, then she said she wasn't buying a mustang and I asked why, she said because it's a sports car and the insurance would be to high, so all I can do is dream at this point...😧😧😧

2020 anyone still watching this legendary review?
2021
2021. Lost count of how many times I’ve watched this!
Let’s go 2021!!!
Here in 2021 just got my terminator after a long time looking. Only 18 total here in sweden. But its mine now dammit
2021
I swear to god I thought that white truck was about to crash into my dude at 5:25 hahaha
I had a mini heart attack seeing that😂
every time I watch this I think the same thing
yeah same, I was RIP lol
Benjamin Moore 3 years later and I never saw that. Holy cowb
I thought the same thing😂
2 cars that make my stomach drop when I see them in my rear view. A police cruiser and a Terminator Cobra, for 2 very different reasons...
Tool Detective lol 😂
I don't think a police cruiser can keep up with the TERMI.
Cause you’ll lose to both lol
Im a hardcore chevy guy but i have a deep respect for the terminator and mustangs overall the svt cobra is just a car you should not mess with
Keeping the camaro in its mirror for a long time. TERMINATOR COBRA.
I had a camaro and my friend a Terminator and I would always love asking him to rev it
@@mattjohnston7686I’d smoke this cobra in my 77 camaro so calm down fanboy
4.6L is the best fucking sound ever
+Theonlypayne its ALL exaust
+Joe Daly 4.6 4v engines alms very good with ofcourse a good exhaust set up
+Joe Daly if you think that motor is all exhaust then you're a moron.
+Theonlypayne 4.6 sounds good, but I think the older 302/5.0 sounds better (have both- including small fast spooling twin turbo 95 Cobra).
+Joe Daly you are incorrect. stock they sound very good. ive heard it in person because ive had a 01 cobra same exact engine minus internals, and supercharger. the exhaust makes it sound even better.
Terminator flybys are the best. Seeing one coming up on you, at first all you hear is blower whine, then followed by that split second where it passes with both whine and exhaust coming together, then finally ending with a screaming tyrannosaurus rex.
@DVJFan what year is it?
@DVJFan you sure its not a GT? The GT has the same 4.6 but 2 valve and a few other changes.
@DVJFan oh okay. Well at least the 4.6 sounds good.
@DVJFan wym
The 1st one I seen was last year and it was pretty nodded but I never heard a supercharger whine.
I litterally get goosebumps when I look at that car
Me too man every time I see one I'm like a kid again with my new toy. My dream car, one day.
+DBZ Series im currently trying to get a black on black one financed fingers crossed
+ztm454 did you get it bro?
ruclips.net/video/2lQX3cOAbes/видео.html
I'm a Chevy/GM guy, but I LOVE the Terminator Stangs! They're so badass and sound amazing!
2:05 DANG! 900,000 HP on the stock block! That's insane!!
I think those look pretty badass, they look sooo much better then the camaros of the time
Wtf? Did u just say the camaros of the time!!?!? Lmao no such thing as a 2004 camaro buddy...
+Rockinsweetly yeah I thought of that after I posted, but like the ones form the late 90s when that similar mustang body was out
+Ryan Seriously use your head, he thought it was an SN95 body. Regardless, 95-04 are sexier than the 90's camaros
+AJ632 I completely agree. I don't think Camaros have looked good since 1969
ainslyreynolds hahaha yup
problem with fast cars. you can only pull hard for a gear or two. then you are over speed limit.
thats what radar detectors are for :)
v1 ftw! saved me countless times
Like a cop is gonna catch up to a 530hp vehicle when the highest they have is like 285/305hp
JayCanTreAllDay the average cop car is under 285hp for sure, but they dont need to be fast enough, they have radio's
anon Smiles per gallon. :)
4yrs later.....ain't no other car sounding better than this!!! 🙌🤘
Gt350 5.2l voodoo engine is up there too
@@brandondannys-menary3678 kinda. Id take this over a gt350.
DannyD Dude what cars have a voodoo engine in it
Coyote with h pipe sounds better
search up autotopiala best sounding gt350, its the one from a few weeks ago, probably the best sounding car ive heard
Still by far the best sounding car you've ever reviewed.
Man we need another terminator video
Israel Jimenez fr man asap lol
He already made another one :) . It’s a 700HP Whippled Cobra.
TERMINATOR needs to make a comeback period!!!
This will forever be my favorite TDIB video.
My son and I was there when you was there. My son just passed away at the age of 18 a month ago. We met you and lots of people. Some things are sad. But I remember meeting you.
"Terminated your ear drums"! I laughed my ass off when you made that remark. Good shit.
Did anyone else think he was gonna get hit at 5:23 ? Looked like a REALLY close call lol
Could you imagine how famous he would of gotten
It only looked like that because he was merging onto the highway...
I saw that i was high too
Yeahh😂😂, he didnt see that guy when he was driving on the highway, couldve gotten hit baddd
Me too🤣
At 6:30 is when everyone melts with the eargasm of America
lol great comment
UNGH UNGH UNGH UNGH DADDY UNGH DADDY UNGH UNGH UNGH

I didn't wanna say anything but yup...
so what makes it better?
Its really subjective. Many companies make their own interpretation of the mustang so it depends on your tastes.
This is probably one of my favorite reviews. Do more Terminators please!
My 02 gt is coyote swapped and has a vmp supercharger thinking it would relieve the itch of not having an 03 cobra but I still want one so bad. I memorized this entire video I've watched it so much.
I bought a terminator because of this video. One of the best and worst choices of my life so far. Not a reliable car at all lol
lol how's the car been for you so far? what made it the worst choice?
-BuiltNotBrought Type R- it's been awesome. what made this the worst choice is that this car is in fact not a daily driver. i've had a bunch of shit break, like o rings on the injectors, battery, alternator, and i've had the hardest time getting it to pass emissions so be sure you live somewhere where you don't have to get emissions testing. i don't feel comfortable in this car. i feel like it is always going to break or shut down or something. but other than that, it's an awesome car. i've gotten so many compliments on it. still way better than the auto v6 i had before this lol

Is this young Jeff Gordon?
Saw this review when it first came out made me want one of these more than anything 2022 and I finally own one

Stephen Hyche I almost responded to that, but you're either a child, drunk, or both, so I'm not going to bother.
This video back in the day convinced me to buy a terminator, here we are 7 years later and I’ve had a DSG for a whole year
In my opinion, this is the most badass car you have reviewed! Such an insane car!
This has and will be my favorite review ever lol
Those 4.6 V8 engines sound beautiful, even the 2 and 3 valve versions
Makes my 2001 GT sound and look like a Yugo.
Yeah I have a 01 gt with a cold air and a borla S-Type Stinger catback it's real nice but it's nothing, and I mean nothing compared to this
One of the best cars ever made. It's no wonder 11-12 years after production they still sell for 20k
First TDIB video I ever watched bc I was doing a paper about the Mustang and I wanted to know more about the Terminator Cobra. Thanks David!
How you did those pulls in Myrtle Beach without being cut off by a grandma going 20 mph is more surprising to me 😂
by far my favorite review! that borla atak sounds so badass echoing under those bridges
Ik 😄
Bruhhhh this literally was the ONE video that got me into the cobra! Never gets old! Lol
Terminator hits 1 million views!!! +ThatDudeinBlue Your first Domestic review to reach this accomplishment! It would be awesome to drop "The Terminator hits 1 million views" video.
I finally heard someone else talk about the 03 cobra looking especially aggressive looking. Its scary comin up & has a great ass zooming away lol
*one of the meanest best looking car out there nothing looks more aggressive than this*
Best Terminator review EVER !!!!!!What an awesome video...Thumbs up all the way !Everyone knows that the 03-04 Cobras were and still are the GREATEST Mustangs of all time :)
one of the best, most definitely.
Looks/sounds quite awesome. I like my Magnaflows, nice sound/volume compromise for me. Love these cars!
This may be the nicest exhaust setup and meanest looking car ever.

Fantastic review of your friend's Terminator. This is, by far, one of my most favorite cars of all time. I had the opportunity to own a '98 Cobra, which after some work, was no slouch by any means. This car however is what my Cobra dreamed to be.
With all that said, your production quality was excellent AND you have a great personality. Plus, you drove the SHIT OUTTA THAT SNAKE! WHOOHOO! Wish I could've been there hoss!
Well, that's all for now. PEACE!
Who else is rewatching this in 2019 because you love the termy cobra so much? ❤️
👍
I'm a 70 year old woman and before I die I want to park my Nissan Sentra and get me a Cobra. One passed me on a mountain road in Oregon and it brought tears to my eyes.
Very good review and what a car ! Keep it up David, love your reviews !
Love the underpass Rev, What a sweet ride 👍👍
It’s 2024 bro and the terminator is still top tier 💪🏻
Man, I thought oh shit he's about to die!!!!!At 5:26 it scared me
I commented this like a year ago and got way more likes than you.. Fucking comment vulture go fuck yourself
+john smith okay what are you proud of yourself? Lmao sit down kid
john smith dude you're the one going around telling people they stole your comment Lmaoo sit down little boi
Just Colin ignore him, he’s like 9 lol
PISTOLGRIPJOE me too
Older video, but they changed more than the bumper and the "wing". They changed the hood, rocker panels, front fascia, rear fascia and spoiler. The rear view mirrors are also different and painted, and as part of the spoiler changes, the 3rd brake light is LED and relocated to be in the spoiler. As part of all of that, the Cobra is actually a little bit longer than other New Edge mustangs, the hood is longer due to a mistake in manufacturing. Also, the exhaust is different which is cosmetic because it is distinctly different looking from the back, the pipes are horizontal under the tank.
+Chris Duval do you have sources on the longer hood thing? ive never heard of that before
+Chris Duval The exhaust is different, but not for cosmetic reasons. The exhaust is made to clear the IRS set up in the back. The GT's and even the Mach's have a solid axle, so the exhaust goes over the axle, then down to the outlets. (sources, I own one)
I remember being super into imports and wanted a r33 gtst (the one i could afford) and saw that you had to dump $14k in order to get 530whp reliably. Huge mod list. Then i got into mustangs and now this is my dream car. My jaw dropped to the floor when i found out you can make around 500-530 wheel just by porting the blower, smaller pulley, and bolt ons.
5:06 7:12 8:20 underpass rev bombs
I was looking for the 5:06! I laugh every time😂😂
I wanted a Cobra when i was looking for my 5.0 and I still kind of wish I would of went with the Cobra. The ultimate decision was that I already had an 04 GT and the cobra was my crush. I will one day own a Cobra but the want for one is just making work harder and at some point I will give in and let the snake bite.
I just need about 1 years worth of paycheck's to buy one. For the meantime I just have to take care of my 97 cobra till the dream comes true.
The 97 feels like my old 03 mach 1 haha. Lots of work need to be done to make it termi standards
Thanks man, but a v6 can be deadly if you do the right builds. My friends 2011 stang v6 is killing 2012+ 5.0s on a daily. All he's got is bolt-ons, bama tune and 3.73 gears. I've never seen a v6 go so hard
Yeah man, enjoy what you have and make the best out of it! I'm most likely going to sell my 97 for 6k when im ready to buy the termi. I'm just get a s281 spoiler, smoke the lights and maybe procharge it
It's black with the red cobra rear bumper lettering
David, your video never gets old! Terminated your eardrums!
I got one of the first 2003 cobras in Sonic Blue back in July of 2002. 22 years old and just "had to have it." It still stands as one of my favorite cars I have owned. It's power, looks and build quality completely hold up today and has aged well. One thing with the review though is that they also changed the hood completely from the 99-01 Cobra. The rear bumper was also different. The interior got some enhancements as well. I thought I could never "move up" from the cobra as a car guy but I eventually bought a 2000 Viper GTS ACR in 09 when the prices were bottomed. Amazing vehicle but some of the problems and maintenance motivated me to upgrade to a black on black 2015 Viper GT with the black Sidewinder wheels and 18 speaker Harmon Kardon sound system. Thankfully I have a wife who makes way more than me and loves cars too. Bottom line; amazing cars and AMAZING videos @ThatDudeinBlue. Kepe making these. I rarely post or like or subscribe but you have another one with me; especially with the review of the 2001 Viper and the 2014 TA "Driver Mod" car.
Terminator Cobra = America's Supra.
This is still my favorite video you’ve ever done...love going back to this one...driving my gt around town today and you’ll never guess what I saw in my rear view mirror..a black terminator cobra...it was beautiful and in amazing shape. If all goes well I will have one in my garage next year.
This car is f****** amazing! The sound it makes....I can't describe it - it gives me goosebumps!
One minor gripe I have about these cars, I don't like the letters on the back bumper, it looks a bit tacky....that's just my opinion though, still a RADICALLY AWESOME car!
Personally I'm not a fan of 4.6 efi engines. Nothing like a supercharged 302 5.0 95 type R. That's power!!
peruzfinest07
Love the Cobra R ... BUT ... the Terminator Cobra is a step up.
peruzfinest07 a mi me gustan los dos motores! =]
@Henry to each their own. =)
peruzfinest07 if it weren't for the 4v 4.6 the 5.0 probably wouldn't exist yet
My favorite car you've reviewed
A good video is always good. Watched this the first week it released and I come back for the wailing supercharger every few months and even in 2022 I still can't get enough. Awesome Job David keep up the awesome work. 😁
God I wish American cars had semi decent interiors. This car is awesome...until you see the interior but I suppose you don't care when it sounds that good.
Well considering this car was made in 2003, don't judge it too hard
its a muscle not a family car!
It shouldn't and doesn't have to be a family car to have a decent interior. Look at the C63 Coupe. Its basically the German equivalent to this car and (although optional) you can get wood trim in the interior, and it has leather all over the place from the very base model. I suppose you get what you pay for though, American muscle cars cost next to nothing when compared to something European of the same spec. *cough* *cough* C63.
AppleTechBeast And the C63 costs $25,000 more, and it's interior is in the technology of 2014.
***** I wasn't referring to the car in the video..I was referring to all American cars in general (In the same class as the C63).
Goddamn, I watched this video like 10 times
+Forty Caliber (40Cal.) I'm still watchin it again and again and...
+ainslyreynolds same I watch it every week
yes same here, a great video 👍
This is my 1000th time watching it
I always wanted a Ford Mustang Cobra terminator with a Big Cobra Commander Decal on the rear windshield 🔥
These are like 25 30k still in 2019..
still that much now
I thought that truck was coming at you @ 5:27 D:
My uncle bought one of these brand new in ‘03. He let me drive it. I’m still in love with that car. Only problem he ever had with it was transmission. Replaced under warranty. I still remember the signatures on the valve cover.
Who’s watching in 2019 just for that SOUND 🤤
tsquickgt1 There is a lot more to a Terminator than just the sound. I am lucky to own a very nice mustang collection and between my shelbys my 93cobra and my 04 cobra in my opinion my Terminator ranks right up with my supersnakes and my gt500.Anyone that knows mustangs knows what a supersnake is and I rank the future value of my lower milage Terminator up there with my supersnakes and that is saying a lot.
Is there a mod list for this cobra anywhere? Sounds fantastic
watch the video lol he says everything he has done
Never liked Termis or heard about it until a good friend brought one to the shop and i hand-built the 4.6 for a rebuild with better pistons and a valve job and many many more improvements. When it first started it ran without a problem (and still running to this day). A couple days later he handed me the keys and let me drive it. He told me you mostly put in the work it so drive it.
It put the biggest smile on my face when the FIRST engine we built put power down like a monster. I take pride in that motor we built because it's a goddamn monster. I grew to like this car.
Fuckin love the terminator cobra sounds so mean and pure muscle plus one thing the camaro couldn't do is sound as good as a terminator and never will.
TERMINATED YOUR EARDRUMS! XD
Yup I’m back to this video again.. in 2023.. I watch this video at least 3-5 times a year maybe more idk.. I’m addicted..
@5:25 thought you were gunna' take 525 ft. tq and crush that f150!
+CarsAndCompetitions I came to the comments to see if anyone thought the same thing.. Haha
+Jacob Thomas i commented the same thing a couple months back lol
Haha I was going to say the same thing!
Merging lanes
I got my 04 Terminator because of this video
How much?
+BF4_Legion 21k with 51k miles
How you liking it so far ?
+DBZ Series Its really nice, just beat a brand new SRT8 392 and a 2013 5.0 by about 6 car lengths yesterday.
+Alek How's the power treating you?
an ad came on about the 10 things i hate about my terminator cobra, i never heard of it, but wow, it did remind me of some of my old DRAGONS!
Watched this review like 7 times cant wait till I get one
would a stock 2003 2004 Cobra beat a stock coyote?
I actually would love to see that. haha.
ThatDudeinBlue Yea me too. What u think? They say the Cobra had like 395hp but Ford was low balling it
They stay door to door until top end when the termi takes it.
kevin soos yes a terminator would. Well it would be down to driver of course but with equally skilled drivers the cobra would be faster.... Forced induction is no joke.
i don't think it would beat the coyote in the 1/4, but around a track probably. the IRS on the terminator helps a lot
back for the 100th time, its 2020, when this was uploaded I wasn't even 16. This video lead me to buying my own 03 Cobra. Thank you David from the bottom of my heart
Stock 03/04 cobra's do NOT come with a cobra emblem in the grill. They have a pony, just like a regular mustang. I have kept mine as it keeps it more of a sleeper to the untrained eye!
+2011YammiR6 I agree but most people (the general public) don't have a clue and tend to look only at logos.
I’ll own one of these one day 😂 I’ve had two 2vs so I’m making my way
I’m a jdm guy but my goodness these Cobras are so good
I knew it was a term next
Cuz dat sad vid of it breaking down. lol
Terminators are only scary if they are a dark color, and a coup. Convertible terminators dont look as good. And if they are yellow or a bright color, its even worse.
ScreamingGoat43 I'd take a bright color coupe over a convertible
Mystic Terminator Cobra thoughts?
I’ve lost count as to how many times I’ve watched this one. All time favorite review!
bruh so what 540 horsepower out of a supercharged v8 i get 500 horsepower out of my naturally aspirated 4 banger
Holy shit there's 2 convertibles for $18k and $19k in my area. There's also a hardtop for $21k. I really want to get one :0
Get the hard top, convertibles are a bit heavier
+Darkstar22177 fuck a vert.
but yeah get one, be an idiot not to if you have the chance!
+Darkstar22177 black cobra coupe (hardtop) is the best version of this generation in my opinion. currently trying to trade my lifted wrangler for a heavily modded one
I am really considering this one right now:
sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/5359256697.html
It seems too perfect to be real because of its price, but I think I've seen it in person at a gun range before lol
not really too good to be true, i mean the ported heaton is nice i guess over stock but i wouldn't even bother modding that blower lol.
it's a fair price.
i seen termi's with just a little more miles go for like 17k or less if you really look an wait ect.
i see kenne belle/whipple termis for like 22-23k all the time.
9 years later and its still my favorite youtube video OF ALL TIME
Hey how did he get it to 500 horse on the stock supercharger?
Naser Abdulla It's a ported stock blower.
stage 4? what pully?
Naser Abdulla Stage 6 steg., 2.7 upper pulley, 4LB lower.
He put on smaller pulleys
I did a port and upper and lower pulley on mine and had about that. Don't forget the fuel upgrades!
review another termi please
Bought mine in 2020, and it is an amazing machine! The long gears and Whipple just put a huge smile on anyone who is in it. TDB is spot on when he stomps the gas, you get a look of concern, then you're laughing at what just happened.
If you are in Chicago land area and are interested in reviewing a 950whp Turbo Trans Am WS6 let me know. Just a quiet streetcar. Not as loud as that mustang.
willizm I would totally be down!
