He was obviously in the wrong gear, bad tune, and couldn't drive. Amidoingitrite 5.0 guys?
I'm here in El Paso as well. I would love to get some runs in with both you and your buddy some day. My friend will make a good video of all the runs too. Let me know if your interested.
5.0 has been around for a few years now but there are still arguments between 5.0 and Terminator owners almost every day. I used to find it amusing but now it just annoys me. I think 2015 5.0 will finally end the arguments who is faster. :beer:
I like both. Some people just don't realize on the street anything can happen and you can beat cars that otherwise should beat you. Some 5oh guys like to discredit the terminator, doesn't mean it can't be beat but it's a benchmark much like C6Z is. I'm glad the new 5.0 is fast, it's a new benchmark and both deserve some credit for being street beasts, but the constant excuses (both sides) are lame.

THAT....will never happen.
Lots of full grown sensitive men in this thread.
Is it really that absurd that a pullied, full exhaust termi BARELY beat a bolt on 5.0 on the street?
Now if OP had said he put a bus on him, that would be another story..

Nice kill man! I bet your cars super fun to drive!
It will be funny to see all the butthurt cobra/5.0 owners when full bolt on 2015 gt's are pushing their shit in. Im extremely curious to see if it will give the c7 a good run for its money or even beat it, THEN we get to see a shitstorm on ls1tech
Not to mention possible butthurt m3/m4 owners once track comparisons are made "but brrooo its still a mustang" "my interior is soooo much better."

Terminator wasn't trying.
Cold weather, street tires, modded cobra, hitting it in 2nd at 45=spin fest.
And spinnin ain't winnin!
Nice kill!

OK OK OK gents I just found out that I F%$ked up me and my bestfriend were talking and He told me that we were doing about 55-60, I thought we were going slower bcuz we had slowed down soo much on the FWY. So flame me or whatever for messing up the vital MPH info. :shrug:
On a side note after reading all of these comments I just look at it like this I like both cars, and I give equal respect. The Cobra (my favorite tho) bcuz it was ahead of its time. The 5.0 because a great motor that lives of to bringing back that name. the creature comforts of the 5.0's are what I also am in love with. With my cobra tho, I have more of a toy that still holds its own. At the end of the day we all drive Fords and the S&%t talking should be done on the ricers.

glad someone FINALLY put this to rest under some controlled conditions... jeez I am so sick of people thinking 5.0's will work a pullied terminator...
Shouldn't even have to prove this out on the street, the bottom line is the 5.0 is a heavier car with less power than a pullied full weight terminator coupe. Unless the driver in the terminator is THAT bad, it should never be a problem.
Then on top of that... you coyote boys go throwing blowers on that... cough cough... unforged, high compression ratio, Coyote motor..... and make 600 WHP and think you got something special....
We'll see your scorched cylinder walls and broken connecting rods in the machine shop soon boys... have fun.
ummm, you do know that 2015s are 5.0s also right?
2011-2012= 5.0
2013-2014=5.0 just a little different
2015=5.0 a lot different, but still 5.0.

How much RWHP can you safely put through a coyote engine?
It can't be much more than 450-500 since its not a forged platform.

Rods might be cheap... the labor isn't though... and when that broken rod damages that cylinder wall... have fun ordering a new block
*** oh and compression likes E85, not the other way around.
