Has anyone out there heard of the "Terminator Project"?

I have : )

And boy did I get excited when Ken Eckels drove by my house today in a '01 Cobra.

 

yep, a couple of guys that worked at the plant got fired for posting info on BON, they have 13 test cars, 7coupes and 6 verts, 32v s/c roots style, all are red with a unique spoiler, and black painted 00 r rims,

99 COBRA, DE-MODDED

 

Jerry Green with Ford, acknowledged this car when it was asked about during an interview at WFC4. It will also have the IRS, updated and better than before, according to him. He said it would have the 32V motor with a S/C.

 

I'm glad to hear its a 4v motor.

Maybe it will run low-12s out of the box...like it should.

ITS GONNA HAVE THE R IRS

 

Anyone willing to explain what this is to those of us not so fortunate?

 

A couple magazines have had spy photos of it. Looks somewhat like the Cobra R, big hood and all.

I've heard the numbers so far were:

388 HP
397 ft/lbs torque

Wes...I think low 12's out of the box are a definite possiblity. I was told that they were going after the Z06.

 

THOSE NUMBERS WILL LIKELY BE AT THE WHEEL, ITS ALREADY 320 AND EITH 10 LBS OF BOOST ON MINE I WAS 450 RWHP W/ A VORTECH BUT TORQUE WAS LIMP STILL, THIS BEAST WILL BE UNDERRATED, OVERPRICED, AND EASY TO GET AN EXTRA 100 PONIES FROM, IF THEY JUST GAVE IT A FAST AUTO I MIGHT GET IN LINE

It's nice that they are building this and all but I can see it stickering around 50k. No thanks!

I can't see this car costing that much. maybe 40k for it. If they do make one of these, it might take the place of my 03 L that I was thinking about.

talk about some mad crazy sick factory horsepower. chit we got another 100 from some bolt ons, imagine that cobra with some bolt on's. hell yeah, I want one. convertable, I've neve had a vert and I want one.

POWER SURGE PERFORMANCE RULES!!!

 

If its over $40k, it better run low-12s.

The torque will be very good with the positive displacement blower, instead of the centrifugal type (although personally, I'm a huge fan of the centrifugals).

Getting an "easy 100hp" on top of the factory power will largely depend on whether you want to keep it 50-state legal or not, etc.

Nevertheless, I'm just glad they're indeed doing a blown 4v engine. It should be pretty cool. Any ideas on production #s?
