This ominous predator trolls the streets searching for its next victim. Permanently poised in a position to strike, the Terminator Cobra possesses a deadly bite.

Car owner Tony Martinez is waiting to give us the details about his 2003 Ford SVT Mustang Cobra. This car began life as a supercharged coupe. In stock trim, the SVT made 390hp and 390 lb.-ft. of torque. Not that great by today’s standards, but a pretty good jumping off point.

Tony took the 4.6-liter V8 engine and had it professionally built, replacing the stock iron block with a Texas Speed aluminum block before loading it with premium internals including custom ground camshafts. Forced air induction is left to a 2.9-liter Whipple supercharger with an ice water intercooler. The manual transmission is a Tremec T-56 Magnum, and the rear end is a custom fabricated 8.8-inch front loader with 3.73:1 final drive gears.

The suspension is basically stock with adjustable coilover shocks all the way around. The wheels are from Weld Racing. They are wrapped in Mickey Thompson rubber. Brakes are also factory with the exception of slotted and drilled rotors.

All the sheet metal is factory except the hood and carbon-fiber cowl.

With 1,000hp available at the rear wheels, I can’t wait to get to the test drive.
