I also traded my 04 Cobra for a new 14 GT500 (which I still have). Both were kept totally stock. I've been a car nut for over 50 years and in my experience, the 04 Terminator was plenty of car for the street. That car was set up just about perfectly from the factory and was a blast to drive. The GT500 is overkill and insane in my opinion. But it packs over ten years of Ford factory blower engineering experience and refinement and is the pinnacle of pre Coyote, mod motor tech. My prior Stangs were 71 Boss and 2001 Cobra.

You Goddamn right!

So many things you said don't add up. For one you can make 800-900rwhp on stock motor with a big gen 4 whipple or gen 3 vmp. If you don't think the engine can take it(which it can). You then say you are going to be building the gt500 motor? Doesn't make sense. And a bigger blower? A big loss in money on your part.

The stock Termi actually does hold more than the GT500. Termi has Manley forged vs powder forged in GT500. Rods will start bending around 700 to 800 hp.

When you got the Shelby you went from “getting my dream car!!” To I just wanted something different

I think the pistons being the weak link in the terminators is a myth. I think the fuel and cooling system was inadequate. Mine was stock with a pulley and a 100 shot, never a problem. The guy I sold it too pretty much fully built the car and compound boost, was making 4 digit power on the stock motor minus cams.

Wait until he gets a bad batch of gas or the fuel pump gets a little weak on a hot day or the thermostat sticks. POP. With better pistons it would have a much better chance of surviving adverse conditions. The pistons a most definitely the weak link.

I don't normally comment, but I'll say this. Turdzilla was my all time favorite car on channel, it was so much more relatable than the others, and was heartbroken to see it go. Then when the cobra went i almost said i can't do it anymore, my favorite cars are gone and i have no interest in the s550 or gt500 so what the hell am i still doing here. But now after the gt500 has been here for a bit I've come love it now, it must have just been the love affair with new edges that deterred me away. But thats not the case anymore, however, i still dont care for the s550? Idk what's up with that.

I had an 08 gt500 and I truly miss that car. Now I have a Terminator that I love but the motor was abused by the last owner. Fortunately not much in damage only needed to replace the pistons. She’s gonna be a beast when I’m done. Doing to many things to it to list here. Maybe I should do a build video. Good luck with your Shelby can’t wait to see what you do with it.

Been looking to buy a Manual GT 99-04, since youve owned so many, you know whats a good mileage to buy? Thanks

Love the content I watch all the videos. Only complaint is the audio indifferences. Keep it going bro! Viewer for life

Totally makes business sense. That being said, can you do a video where you go into detail about the bullitt set up. More or less a step by step of what you need to know before heading the turbo direct. Some examples are needing a tublar k member for the On3 kit, an oil feed line, exhaust, ect..

I hear ya man. I can understand where you are coming from. The terminator is the ultimate new edge and will be more sought after over time. The GT500 is awesome too. Its a matter of choice and opinion and I can respect that. Before Danny Johnson (my brother) made that vid, I didn't realize how weak the rods were. Good info. Keep up the good work.

I've seen some videos from guys like Alejandro Flores that reccomend the 11-12 gt500 over 13-14 gt500 and I was wondering if you could make a video giving your opinion on that seeing as I'm looking into getting one

Always a good idea to have a verity of platform to get other people interested in the channel all you need now is a fox body and you will have almost the whole mustang community's interested in the channel

Really, it's your channel. You can do whatever you want. But the fact that you do listen to your viewers shows that you do care and take some of that in consideration.

Everything you said makes total sense. Form a business/ content aspect it was a good move buying the GT 500. It’s a very sought after platform that honestly doesn’t get much attention from any other channels. I think it will be a fun experience watching the journey you take with this car. Keep the videos coming and hopefully Ashley settles her case soon so she can step back into the picture.

Hey bro, when it comes down to it, you gotta grow! Yea the cobra was sick everyone loves it, but it’s time to do something different, and tbh I been watching your channel for over a year, and you got a GT500 when in my own life I was considering trading my 15 GT and getting a 14 GT500 myself, so it’s been very exciting to watch your Shelby come together, keep moving forward brotha

Good video Andrew well said. Danny's video is excellent as well.

I still miss that cobra but love the gt500. Nice to see you gave my boy Danny Johnson a shout out,his twin brother has a mustang channel too,Justin Johnson.

The s197 is my favorite platform and I was really glad you go the gt500 because you have had so many new edges plus you guys have the s550. Love your videos!

Thanks for your support

I'm glad you are happy with your trade. However, you are off on what the Cobra can make on a stock long block, W/supercharger. Names of guys that made over 800+ to the tire with a stock 03-04 long block. Myself, Bryan Crane, David Short. I'm sure there would be others.. But you along with so many others have been fed inaccurate information on the subject, and a lot of guys cant say their motors are stock sealed anymore. Bryan made over 800 before he got the motor built from Modular Head Shop. David made like 816 corrected to the tire, and on a tall drag tire. You even herd it from Starkey on one of your dyno videos, that drag or soft tires lose numbers on the rollers. Just means that Davids car would have made even more on a hard tire. My car had 100K miles on the stock long block and made 829/757 to the tire with a G3, and a hard tire. Davids car made pretty close to the same with the G4 boost for boost and a soft tire. So if he had a hard tire on, it would have surpassed my number easy. Three different cars, from different states, all different tuners, and different dynos. Stock sealed 03-04 cobra engines. Will they make more with cams and head work.... Yep. But they are capable of over 800 without them, and not just with a turbo. Again I'm happy for you. just think the myth that the stock Cobra HP max with a Supercharger is not accurate.

Hey brother, just found your channel. So just my .02¢. While you’re gonna be doing those fuel upgrades, and it seems it remains important for you to be able to run on 93 whenever you want? Might as well do the flex fuel kit at the same time. I see you’re almost at 100,000 subs...keep it up kid!

You got a nice car Andrew. Looking forward to the build on the 500. The Cobra was a great car but this can go well above that.

I also have a 08 GT500 that was owned by the Tasca family. The car has everything done to it and it makes like 800wheel and I haven't had a problem with the car granted it only has 3000miles on the car and the best part top me is it's signed by the Tasca family Carroll Shelby and John Force and everyone went for a ride in the car.I thought I had a lot of mustangs lol.I also have a all original vibrant red 93 cobra with 20thousand original miles.I have a ton of people that want to buy that car and it isn't happening lol.Alo a 87 gt t top car and a 92 lx and a few others.Iam really curious what you think of both cars cobra and you're 500.I don't have a 03 04 but in the future I am getting a 04 mystic chrome cobra.There just not that easy to find.I basically want a stock version because like my 93 cobra the 03 04 are becoming scarce in the shape I want it.

Traded my Saleen for a 6.7 and just sold my fox today. I understand changing things up. I plan on building another fox eventually and going coyote and twins. Needed a truck for work and unfortunately business sense was getting mustangs gone for the time being.

In a way I miss seeing the cobra content ,but you have ole banana. I am looking forward to seeing you build the GT500.

Sold my built motor stage 2 cammed 99 cobra for a 2010 gt500 with FBO/tvs blower/bmr suspension work... I drove the cobra for 1 day after I got it running and traded it for a 5.0 coyote... Immediately sold it and picked up my shelby for 24k with 80k miles. Now I'm at 670+whp with basic bolt ons.. only thing I can complain about is the iron block weight.. little weight reduction + cams should do the trick. (:

I love all Mustangs! Especially Cobras and SVT/Ford Performance tweaked ones. I finally stepped into the Cobra realm myself with a beautiful clean 94 Cobra with only 36k miles! All your videos make me want to drive it so bad!!! But it's been doing nothing but raining here in SE WI. She stays safely in the garage in anything other than nice weather. I wouldn't go anywhere in the rain anyways with 385whp on that old girl.
