Don't quote me but I believe it was nicknamed the Terminator because with simple bolt ons it would beat just about anything on the road...

I guess cause the 03cobra is a BEAST? Built motor. Like said above a Tune and Pulley and exhaust your well into the 400whp-500whp range?

During production the SVT guys gave it that nickname.
