Sorry I reread your statement and I was confused. I retract my comment lol
How can you say that when the 2.9 gen 4 whipples are making 800+ on a stock motor.

Sorry if I missed it, daily driver? If so I agree that you should do minor bolt-ons. Something along the lines of full exhaust, ported blower, duel FPDMs, Throttle body, injectors, fuel pumps, 2.8 upper, CAI, 4lb lower, after market heat exchanger, Metco Idlers, tune. Something....along those lines anyhow. Here was mine....wish I had kept her...but had just retired from the Navy and the house needed a new roof...yada yada means to an end.
$28K one owner with 20k miles in mineral grey.The terminator is iconic but so is the c5z, if not for other reasons.
I will have one of each some day.

Wait... You sold a Termi to do a roof? There must have been another motive.
Yeah, but the roof was only 7K and I got alot more than that so I paid off other bills as well and did more on our house. When you're retiring from the Military with no job and going back to school...you gotta make cuts. We fixed up that house sold it and now have a rather nice house to show for it. I got another Mustang which is equally fast but no where near as cool. Oneday I'll have something more iconic.Wait... You sold a Termi to do a roof? There must have been another motive.
Call me bias...but when I see the S550s 5.0's, V6's or Ecoboosts I just think to myself they're a dime a dozen. I see so many of them out on the streets. Same with the S197s. But when it comes to a Terminator? I have my eyes glued on that car. Not to mention they're the best sounding Mustangs IMO. Those cars are so rare to see. I live in a somewhat decent populated town, and I am the only one who has a Terminator.
Coupes and verts are worth the money.
If you’re chasing the latest, greatest, and fastest then you’ll never be satisfied. Manufacturers continually out do each other and what is the bee’s knees now will be old news later.Thanks for all the replies everyone. You have helped justify my decision of getting one in the next couple months haha. Just gotta sell my 3 valve (hopefully sooner rather than later). If I see the perfect one for sale that isn't super far away, I will probably pull the trigger before selling my 3 valve. That being said I am having a hard time finding reasonably priced coupes that aren't zinc yellow haha. I can't believe how many convertibles are for sale and how much cheaper they are. There's a couple of convertibles that I'm having second thoughts about possibly getting a vert.

The terminator has all the right ingredients and charm to remain relevant in an ever changing dynamic of vehicle evolution.
Like a one-armed man paddling a canoe.Are they worth it? Does a 1 legged duck swim in a circle? Lol
I've owned a 94 Cobra and 5 other Mustangs over the years and I now have the intent of buying an 03 / 04 Terminator in 2 yrs when my F150 is paid off. Like what everyone else has said they are just a very special car to have. When they first came out I had other Mustangs and I could in no way afford one but fast forward 15+ years later and things are a lot different.
Just this past weekend at a car show I ran into an old friend that I had not seen in years who still has his 03 Terminator coupe and we just talked about these cars non stop and my plans of getting one. He has a 2.3 whipple on it w/ the other usual mods putting out 600 + and when we both have time in the near future hes taking me for a spin in it. Hoping I get to drive it but I wont ask, only if offered. Not that I need more motivation but It would just make me dig my heels in more as far as the drive to get one.
