2003 Ford Mustang Cobra Terminator Edition

The 2003 SVT Mustang Cobra came with a “Terminator” V8 engine. As ferocious as its name, the engine had a 390 HP with 390 pound-feet of torque. It could reach 0 to 60 in 4.8 seconds with a top speed of 155 mph.

The Terminator Cobra was significantly more mechanically equipped than the 2004 Mustang GT and was even significantly improved over the Mach 1 that was also available that year. From the transmission and engine to the suspension, SVT didn't leave a corner of the Mustang untouched.

Of course, whenever you mention the difference in horsepower between the Terminator and the GT, everyone starts talking about the supercharger. It's worth looking at the full list of mechanical enhancements.
