to all of ones who want this car .I am 15 years old this car is absolutely my dream car and i would say that just dream and work hard one day we will get it
I still remember when we picked her up, I loved her from the moment I saw her ☺️❤️ Such a beautiful termi 🙌
Had mine for a few years, and I love everything about this car! Flaws and all, worth every penny.
That’s awesome, yes they aren’t perfect but they are great cars.
I started following you right before or right when you purchased this. Man, I can't believe it's been two years already. You bought it just in time before the price hikes on cars and general. Plus these are very sought after cars. I'm glad you are still enjoying it and rightfully so. I appreciate you doing this update, and it's like I get to revisit watching you pick the car up the first time with dad. I remember that video.
Glad your dream came true and the life's lessons you have learned along the way. I have an 04 cobra, oringal owner, mystic chrome convertible. Completely original all the way, even the wiper blades. Tires were replaced under warranty.
That’s awesome man! I’m glad you still have your original 2004 SVT Cobra, they are amazing cars for sure. Thanks for sharing.
The 03/04 Cobra Terminator is timeless. It still looks amazing and stands out 20 years later. Although the new Mustangs, Camaros, Challengers, etc come with more HP IMO none look as sexy as the Terminator!
Bro I was looking at Cobras Pre-Covid and I saw a few in pretty good shape for about 23-30K. Now Post-Covid 2023 similar condition Cobras are about 50K. I beat myself in the head every time I search for Cobras in my area or around the US. At this point i'm almost convinced I will never own one. 30K was doable, but 50K... out of my reach at this point in time.
I feel ya. Gently used c6zs were going for mid 40s pre covid and you could get an amazing Viper for low to mid 50s. Not anymore LoL
@@stephenrogers5593 At this point I'll probably settle for a nice looking Bullit or a Cobra from the late 90's to about year 2001 maybe.
I hate the car market right now with so much passon lmfao.
@@IamTony666 as much as I kind of don’t want to go chevy I feel like a c5z with an ls3 swap and cam/heads would be a great bang for the buck.
@@IamTony666 _At this point I'm just going to swap my 03 gt & make my own cobra clone. Someone at a recent car meet had a v6 mustang that was swapped with an 04 cobra motor & rearend even had a stock tr3650 5 spd & it paired with the terminator motor. It costs around $4-8k for the motor, $2-3k for the rear-end (not totally necessary) & about $5k for the 6spd t56 magnum. I only paid $5,500 for the car & I just want the terminator driveline anyways lol... screw paying $30-40k in 2024 just to have some fun when I can do it for a fraction of the price. When the 2v blows or when I find a motor that's when I'm starting._
Absolutely love your Cobra. I’m getting to within months of being able to be in position to starting the search for my own.
That’s awesome man, they are great cars, try to get one as stock as possible, mileage matters but not as much. If you can also try to get a late production 03 or get an 04, just because you want the updated 9 threads cylinder heads. good luck!
I picked up my Sonic Blue Terminator new off the dealership in April/2003 and I still have her!!!!!
That’s amazing! SB is only if my favorite colors for a Terminator, I actually have two friends who own a Sonic blue, gorgeous color.
Same here. Owned my sonic terminator since Oct 2002
Congratulations on fulfilling a child hood dream of obtaining the Cobra. I wish you success
Thank you 🙏🏻
I remember my cousin said he was going to buy this car. we were jrs in high school and thought it was just one of those day dreaming conversations. he saved money for a few years and in 2006 he found a car for sale for only about 21k. he jumped on it and when he met the owner it was a recent widow who's husband purchased the car and pretty much had it stored, it only had 7k miles. she just wanted to sell it to someone who was as excited about the car as her husband was and my cousin bought it and had it for 13 years. I still remember that engine whine and he kept it completely bone stock. a beast of a car.
That’s a cool story! Does he still have it?
@@FLAWLSS1 Read again 🙄
Love the brushed wheels. You do a good job on your vids man!
Man I have a 03 DSG with 48k miles. The one everlasting svt owned. Also a 19k mile 04 mystichrome. They are just such special machines. Both unique in their own right. But that feel when driving is unlike any other.
You get it back yet?
@@Joker56ace still at Ford. Ended up being the frps... I replaced it when it went down. Turns out the spare I had was defective and reading .2v... instead of 5v like normal. But had no way of really testing it bc the lot it broke down in needed it moved b4 I could. Ford is swapping the frps today and changing the oil twice bc smelled little like fuel. I'm sure they also fouled out my brand new plugs. So going to lip her home and Change plugs once again.
Glad it's a simple fix
I agree. Wow Awesome that one have the DSG that Everlasting had, that is a very clean car 🙌🏻 and you also have a MC 04?
@@Joker56ace yes the dsg has like 48k miles and the MC is like 19k miles. Both are super clean. I just did a pprv delete on the mystichrome. If you're ever close to TN let me know and we will cruise.
My 04 TR coupe has given me the most smiles per mile of any of the 10 cars I’ve ever owned. 81k miles of smiles 👍🏻
That’s awesome. They are great cars for sure!
Fire 🔥 man . I had the same love for cobras growing up I have a 96 cobra . 03-04 cobra next
I love it!!! In 2020 I almost purchased a red SVT COBRA convertible but lost out due to someone overbid it. May I ask how much did you pay for yours? Beautiful car!
Thanks man, yeah no problem I paid $22,500 back in 2020, March of that year.
_Much better than any hellcat._
Of course its worth it. People in awe when they see a cobra out and about
That’s because they are so rare, you are more likely to see a MK4 Supra than one of those cars.
I am currently looking at a 03 car with 51,000 miles. Rebuilt engine because he melted a piston so he had to have the cylinder bored 0.020. Will that ruin "integrity and or value" of the 4.6? I am just getting into these cars and am not sure what to make of a motor that has been bored. Thanks for the video, super helpful!
Great video, your car is so nice. ☺️👍
Thanks bro 🙏🏻
I like the SVT Cobra
Lol you got the car on my birthday
I love 💕 M G some much for ever!!!! 💖💖
two much problems coolant problems
Awesome video! I got mine April of 2020. So it’s been 2 years for me too, still can’t wait to take it out any chance I get 🐍
I got mine in March 2020, we basically have owned our cars for the same time.
Bought my 04 cobra 2 months ago and just love it couldnt be happier. 26k miles same color as yours. Had some tuning issues when I first got it, actully broke down on me about 20miles after driving it. But got that all figured out now
26k miles man wow she’s brand new. Congrats enjoy it 🙌🏻
I bought my first mustang in 2010. It was a silver GT. I loved that car. But I always wanted a terminator. I am getting close to finally having enough money to purchase one. My wife approved! Now I need to just wait for the right one and the right timing.
One of the baddest muscle cars ever made 💪
I’m shocked Ford never added a sunroof or an option
Your car is basically the same setup as me. I have a 04 with the same mods. What pumps are you using? I’m using SVT Focus Pumps, and I’m 80 percent duty cycle. Also, I see your in FL, I’m in Orlando .
I’m running the DW fuel pumps, they are also E85 compatible. I’m the treasure coast area in FL, you should pass by one day and meet up with the cobras we have here 🙏🏻
@@TheMGChannel I might have to do that! What duty cycle are you at with those pumps?
@@fast02gt I don’t remember but I had plenty of room with the ported blower. You can always install a Boost a pump to help your pumps.
The c5 base and z07 have the t56 as well!
Hey man just do you! Bro don’t focus on trying to change so much. It kinda made me sad when you said you were trying to change your Spanish accent. I know what you mean but it’s just UA-cam man. We all love you regardless, it’s who you are! Especially in this day and age folks are very accepting of a WIDE range now! That’s for sure!
I’ll say it again, great work, car looks awesome, I like the more oem look. And it makes me happy that you are happy with your purchase and finally made a dream come true from growing up watching them everyday.
I did the same but just figured I’d never probably own one haha
Thanks brother! Your words really encourage me to keep pushing forward man. It’s true man, it’s just that I know that sometimes it’s hard for people to understand what you are trying to say when there is a thick accent, tbh I don’t think that I’ll ever be able to get rid of my accent, sure it can be better but it’s really tough tho. I really appreciate your feed back on the videos tho, my videos sometimes take a long time to make and edit so It makes happy that people like you that really care enjoy them. I truly appreciate your support brother much love from a cobro 🐍❤️
@@TheMGChannel well I think the accent makes it that much better!!
God bless you brother! I thought the same exact way about my car with what you said in the video. Seeing the steering wheel, looking at the seats and just the whole experience. That’s what it’s about! The speed and power is just topping on the cake!
@@NextLevelTruth Thank you very much! I appreciate your kind words
@@TheMGChannel no problem man! It’s Wretched_svt 😁.. commented w the wrong name logged in!
@@NextLevelTruth Lol all good brotha
I waited 11 years to get my Terminator. I couldn't be more satisfied. My 9 year old son has his eye on it now. He's going to have to wait a longer than 11 years to get it.
Lol Yes, now is his turn to wait.
Same video got alot of us hooked for sure, glad I finally have one
Heck yeah brother! I love the sound of your Kenne Bell 🛎
You run spacers with the stock rear wheels? I plan on keeping my 17s but would like it a lil more flush with fender. What tires u running? Thanks 🐍
This was amazing to watch and enjoy! Well done brother and big respect to you my friend, I’m proud of you Champion🙌🫡💪🙏💙
Thanks man! Glad you liked the video.
I'm 2:42 minutes in and I love this video!
That video...snakebite. Legendary
Man I’m happy for ya bro. If I were to ever make a video like this it would be word for word with the same car. I’m 31 and have wanted a terminator since I was a teenager. I’ve had plenty of toys and still do but I just can’t afford a cobra yet and it breaks my heart. At this point I feel like I want it as bad as air and no matter what I do I can’t get closer! One day, and I’ll cry tears of joy for days just staring at it. Beautiful ride man enjoy.
Thank you brother! one day you'll have your 03/04 Terminator , I know the feeling and I could relate 100 percent. Trust me the universe works in mysterious ways and if you really want one, one will find its way to you.
Nice video, they really are a special kind of car. Coming up on two years of having mine next month.
Can’t wait to watch your 2 year review.
@@TheMGChannel I’ll most likely do one
Great video! I enjoyed watching. Makes me wanna go drive mine. I like the pull at the end of the video. 👍🏻
I’m glad you made it all the way till the end to see the pull 😎
@@TheMGChannel I try not to miss anything. That whine never gets old.
Just saw a 2003 Cobra Covnertible in gray for sale with 50,000 miles for 36k at a large Ford dealership in Indy. Crazy.
Prices are crazy right now.
Ain't nothing like buying your dream car, enjoy it, take care of it regardless of the cost it'll last longer. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching!
Love you’re video and how proud you are of the car. I’m considering getting 1 too just a little scared to pull the trigger man lol
Your*
Have not seen any new stuff. Miss ur videos. I gave the same exact cobra even the same color. Awesome thanks
Thanks brother! A new video is coming soon, unfortunately I haven’t been able to film due to personal circumstances but I’ll be back soon with a regular upload schedule. I appreciate your support and sticking with the channel 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
What number is that one?
Would you ever consider purchasing a Ford Lightning?
I would but the thing is that the prices of those trucks have gone up tremendously. I love the sound of the Eaton on those trucks for sure.
I’ve had my 04 cobra for 11 years already I still love it..
They are incredible cars from a unique time in automotive history
For the price they are now? Hell no
This is also my dream car! Watching you inspires me. I have a wonderful mustang now and I never plan to get rid of it! It's not a Terminator, but I have owned and lost too many mustangs in my 44 years on this planet!
If the opportunity ever presents itself for me to own a Terminator I may go for it...until then I'm happy with my '94 GT convertible with it's many power enhancing mods!!
