Roll Race 2003 Terminator vs 2021 GT500

[ShelbyGT5HUN]

Pretty damn good races...

Saw that video yesterday, the cobra is impressive and runs good, had it been on E85 i think it would have taken the win.

 

[Willie2]

Nice!! Good 'ol Mexico

 

[F8l Vnm]

Good race and pretty good shifting going on. He looked like he was catching the GT500 up top. Interesting because I think there is about 100HP between them give it take ? And about 300-400 lbs ?

 

[gimmie11s]

Yes sir, great races!

 

[IA Shelby]

Man pedal and all. Kudos to the terminator.

 

[CobraBob]

Good runs. I expected the GT-500s auto to make a difference. That Terminator is stout!!

I just can't believe the new GT500 are 4200lbs. Despite not even having dimensions of a Challenger. I hope Ford fixes this with the S650, but probably not, its gotten heavier every generation.

government regulations tend to do that

government regulations tend to do that

And customer demand for "bigger" cars.....

 

[TerminatoRS]

The average customer has likely gotten bigger over the years too. lol

This is the reason.

The S550 is a big car. Park it next to a Fox or even a Terminator and you'll quickly see.

Here was a virtually stock 14 GT500 vs a similarly powered 03 Cobra (2.8 KB) for comparison sakes. Netted basically the same results:

Only way to setup a cobra these days is on corn with the blower feeding buckets of boost. Anything less is pedestrian.

Absolutely, and sit inside them too, a fox feels TINY by "today's" standards

I've seen a Terminator parked next to an S550, and it's eye opening to see the size difference.

 

[03cobra#694]

Yeah, the cobra’s are small.

 

[Red Turtle]

Man, those are some long runs and I always cringe waiting for something to break.

 

[CobraBob]

Yeah, Justin, most of us remember the horror stories back in the day of long top gear pulls. 3rd and 4th (start) gear pulls to 150 were notorious. I just watched this video again and winced a bit, now that you brought it up. LOL.
