terminator is another word for the cobra
What he said...

Except to be more precise, it's the 03/04 Cobras that are known as the Terminators!

10th...The GTs gas mileage OWNS the 4v gas mileage
Not true.
+1

The gas mileage isn't much different. It may be 1 mpg different.

IDK about the other 4vs but I know my gas mileage is way better than my neighbors terminator... not way way better but around 2 MPG difference which is a difference when you have $3.50 gas prices [:@]. But I dont complain since I have another car that saves me gas, but I just thought itll be a difference though

It's likely the weight difference or driving style concerning your GT vs a Terminator.

I've had a few trips where I got 18mpg+ city driving with no highway.

But I can easily get 10mpg if I drive it hard.

Not true, it isn't very expensive at all to do a 4V swap, it can range from 3k to 6k tops. Idk know where you can find many cobra's in good cond. for 6k they are out there but usually not in great shape.

to swap a 4v in your gt (unless you get a really good deal) will cost more then to just sell your gt and buy a cobra. theres alot more then just the motor involved (ecu etc..)

It probably just his driving style. I had a GT and now own a Mach and the gas mileage is the same for me.
