Now. a little background: The first SVT (Special Vehicle Team) Cobra made its debut at the 1992 Chicago Auto Show and was used to highlight the abilities of the SVT division.

Debuting as a 2003. 5 model. this 2003 Cobra came with a supercharged. 32-valve DOHC. 4. 6-liter V8 engine rated at 390 HP and 390 lb·ft of torque. Code-named "Terminator" by the SVT development crew. Rumors (and performance figures) are that Ford significantly and intentionally understated the power of this new engine.   A new front fascia with an integrated spoiler and front brake air ducts. a new rear fascia with a black insert which visually integrated the exhaust pipes. a composite hood with functional dual air scoops. newly designed side scoops. and foldable side view mirrors painted in the matching body color. The side skirts were designed specifically for the Terminator Cobra. featuring a smooth body line from the door to the bottom of the car. The Terminator Cobra also sported a new deck lid spoiler with an integrated LED brake light.

Numerous improvements were made to the powertrain and driveline to handle the power increase from the previous model's set-up. A cast-iron block with stronger internals including forged Zolner pistons and Manley H-beam connecting rods that were modified with a wrist pin oiling hole by the SVT engineers. These upgrades were critical in order to support the 8psi of boost delivered from the stock Eaton M-112 roots-type supercharger. Other improvements included the use of a lightweight aluminum flywheel connected to a Tremec T-56 six-speed transmission. 3. 55:1 rear axle ratio. and stronger 31-spline half shafts with revised upper and lower control arms. These modifications enabled the Cobra to go 0-60 mph in 4. 5 seconds and do the quarter mile in 12. 67 seconds at 110. 11 mph. Although electronically-governed to a top speed of 153 mph. a factory-stock Terminator Cobra can reach a top speed of just under 180 mph if the governor is removed.

This is one of the finest. lowest mile examples of this collector car and offered up at a price of $23. 00
