aren't we all supposed to be beating up on GM's and Mopar's, not eachother??? although it is VERY IRONIC how this post was made like minutes after Jake set that amazing record(congrats again dude)
can't we all just get along?
Try 3 days after Jakes post MATHEMATICIAN! His car may have sparked the conversation but it was not directed at him personally. It was a general question to all dragged out Terminators. Sorry this has been such a big deal. Just wanted to get some other opinions about the subject.
I also would like to ride a lawnmower with a blown 4-valve strapped to it!!!

i think a terminator is still a terminator as long as it has 4v and poweradder. and know im not saying a tt 4v v6 swap is a termy im just saying that if you go pushrod then its not really a termy to me its just another drag car to me. but in the end the vin desides it.
and im a fan of full interior.

ok.. 30 years from now, someone comes across a Terminator body.. nothing in it after having been used for years as a 1/4 mile car with a big inch 351W stroker, C4 auto and solid axle that have all been removed.., floor pans rotted out, no interior, no drive train or suspension.. they find a 4V engine, build it, throw an Eaton supercharger on it, bla bla bla.. they restore it back to factory correct.. it's STILL a Terminator..
you find a V6 Mustang body that had the identical treatment, 351W stroker etc etc etc.. you throw the Terminator engine, T56 IRS into it.. and you now have a modded V6..
the VIN # is all that matters in the long run...

I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

DING DING DING!!! We have a winner!!! Tell him what he's won Johnny!
When I first read the OP I thought about a race car vs a street car. Everyone has their own opinion on this subject. From a record stand point, as long as you can look at the car and it looks like a 03/04 Cobra, has most of the interior, has a stock style engine(modular 4.6 base block) and has a 03/04 VIN#, then it's a Terminator.
Forged 4v and a power adder makes it what many would consider most important ALONG WITH the matching vin.
I dont care if its auto w/ a 9 inch. if it has the vin, THE ONE AND ONLY 4V, And its Forced Induction.........you still have a TERMINATOR!!!
But its still the vin that counts.
For me, I want the 4v and i want a blower....who gives a Sh#t about the rest. For me i'd like to die full bore in a blown Cobra right before the limiter. I hope i see a flash of light and the devil himself picks me up in a TS cobra right to hell. End of life/story

Regarding the thread the only thing that matters is the Vin. Not that I am Chevy fan but if you put a Corvette engine into a Camaro it is still a Camaro.

I've been involved in this discussion too many times, and or the object of it.
My thought : If you change your shifter knob, your car has been modified.
There are modified cars and unmodified cars. Everything else is a mood point because anyone and everyone will find a reason to fit for them. Way too broad of a spectrum.
Go check the lightning forums. They have gone through this same exact scenario since 1999. Starts to be a waste of bandwidth.
Take care,
J.R.

there's another post on here, about someone finding a 98 Cobra body minus drive train, and putting a V6 engine and T5 tranny into it.. it's STILL a 98 Cobra, but one powered by a V6 (why would anyone do that I don't have a clue)
Yeah, hanging the littles across the back yard would be fun...
