Terminator shermanator!

Someone does the blower swap on a terminator and then they are going to be faster than your supercharged GT.
So no. You aren't really "done" with this car until you get your shortblock put in and get your 600whp.

lets see
the Terminator engine is better, forged
the terminator heads are better, 4v
the tranny is better
the rear end is IRS, of course that doesn't matter if you drag race
looks and style are debate-able, but when it comes to power and performance, the Terminator has us S197's beat, easily.
stock for stock, the Terminator will hand your a$$ to you on a silver platter
on the 1/4 mile or on the road course. end of story.

you go ahead and make a video tearing it up like that.
and then you can talk.
right now that is all you are doing.

Big Deal!!! Anyone can BEAT ON a Cobra or a GT like mine and do the same stupid hole shots! So what!!! He's proving NOTHING but the fact he can burn up those tires quickly.!!!!
Heck ,I can make the same video with my GT and you'd think it was something else!!!!
When I was a kid (16) I burned threw a set of tires (boy did those babies smoke and you didn't have to do a brake torque to do it, I just floored it) in my mom's '68 Eldorado in less than 3 Months.And I only drove it on the weekends! Boy was my Dad pissed!!!!. Sure helped with 3000 pounds on that front end tho cus both tires would burn a block long!
This BEAST!!! Weight: 4,680 Pounds with a 472 Cubic Inch V-8 (375 Horsepower) Maximum torque: 525 ft.-lbs. Bore and stroke: 4.30 x 4.06 inches Compression ratio: 10.5 to 1 and a Rochester Quadrajet (model 7028230), consistently beat my buddies OLDS cutlass 455ci!
I took 'er took the track and did 0-60 mph 9.4 Quarter mile 15.9 !!! At Roughly a thousand pounds more it's only 3 seconds slower than a Cobra!

you are going to have to spend a lot of dough to keep up with a stock Terminator
The 2003/2004 SVT Cobra "Terminator"
If you own one of these cars, then you already know how responsive to mods, and how mod friendly they are. so no need to give much of a history on this car.
It starts off with a SVT hand assembled motor. The motor uses a forged crankshaft that is good to alteast 1500HP, SVT by "Manley" 4340 forged H beam rods with ARP hardware, and Mahle 8.5:1 CR pistons, all tucked into a strong cast iron block. The specs pretty much speak for themselves, this motor can go for over 100K miles and safely push 700RWHP. It can go any more, but that would be its limits on pump gas, and would require a turbo to do it. It uses 39LBS injectors fed by a baffled fuel tank with 2 fuel pumps.
Its uses the "improved" C heads, same as Mach 1's, and features 03/04 cobra specific cam's. on top of the heads is mounted a Eaton M112 supercharger pushing 8PSI. For a transmission it uses a Tremec T56, and followed by a alluminum driveshaft, and a improved IRS with stronger halfshafts over the 01 cobra.
You can already tell this is the car to buy if you want the most bang for your buck.
Not much more really needs to be explained about this car.
When you pick one up, is one the fun really begins, bolt on mods are everywhere for this car, and it responds great to them.
For the person that doesn't have the $$ to drop for a twin screw setup, or turbo's, you can still get a lot of power, for not a lot of money.
Basic bolt on's would start as follows:
Cat-back exhaust
CAI (cold air intake)
IRS brace
Pulley
Tune
For a Cat-back system, there are many to choose from, but i would recommend no other than Bassani, Borla, Manaflow, or SLP. they offer the highest quality, the highest power gains, and all sound great. a Cat Back exhaust only on one of these cars can pick up 10-30RWHP. yes, that's a lot for just a more free flowing exhaust.
Cold air intake. this is another 15-30RWHP mod. a monster like itself needs to breath. the best you can buy for it is JLT, its proven to make the most power, and is relatively inexpensive.
IRS brace. this is used on the differential cover to give it extra bracing. with the power this car has, it is very easy to pop the cover even at stock power, so this is a relatively inexpensive way to make your rear end withstand the power. Billetflow is simply the only brand to buy for this.
Pulley. this is possibly the single best mod for this car, but still requires the other supporting mods, aswell as a tune for the added boost. at minimum you want to go with a 2.93 pulley which raises the boost approx. 4PSI. with a 2.93 belt slip really isnt much of a issue, but if you choose to go with the 2.80, or 2.76 you need to get a upper idler to help with belt wrap, so it doesn't slip. Billetflow is very highly recommended for both the pulley, and the upper idler.
Tuner. this is needed ad this point for the added boost, it will also require a tune, which a mail order tune from any of the top guys is fine for a pulley only, you wont benefit much from a dyno tune, and is 100% safe with mail order. Amazon Tuning Solution's in Anderson, SC comes very highly recommended for this task, these guys know what they're doing, and have done several. last time i checked, a SCT tuner, with a custom tune ran about $400.
at this point you have added enough power to the factory under rated car that typically dyno's 355-395RWHP 100% stock to a 440-460RWHP beast that is feared by most on the street.

some dyno results from different Terminators, mild mods to blower swaps

I 'm thinking I want one, but test driving this last one makes me wonder. I just thought the previous owner(s) would have taken a bit more care with it. I see now that the second owner had it only for a few months on the carfax. maybe there is problem with it mechanically. I am hoping to see if anyone has a tip about what to look for on these. There was a squeaking noise coming from around one of the pulleys. It stay consistent when I revved the engine. The air filter (K&N) did look real dirty.

There's a red Termi and a yellow Termi that roam the streets near me. I've run 'em both in my '11 5.0 and gotten smoked by both. One time I actually TRIED to do a ricer fly-by against the red one with hopes he would give chase. Nope, he saw it coming and stopped my feeble attempt cold in it's tracks. I'm pretty sure neither of them are close to stock, but I brought a slingshot to a gunfight. Oh yeah, my car put down 418rwhp on a DynoJet, so those Cobras are stout to walk me like that.

Yeah OP the one you drove must:
a.) be stock
b.) was spinning
or
c.) have something wrong with it.
I've ridden in several of them and drove one around a parking deck (lol) but it was an obvious "OH ****!" difference.
