I'd take the Terminator Cobra every time, but not as a daily driver. If I could afford them both then it would be the S550 as a DD and the Cobra as my weekend warrior. But comparing them head to head, I prefer the mean American muscle look and neck snapping torque of the Cobra over the Euro styling, top end power of the Coyote. I am especially addicted to the visceral g-force pull of my modified Cobra. It brings a big grin to my face and warms my soul each time I punch the gas! Smiles per mile.

FACTS!!!
Having owned both and many others, performance wise, definitely s550. That chassis is amazing! (Not talking about drag racing, I mean real driving). But that 4.6 4v is one bad ass motor. I want another cobra so not hating. But it depends on whether you just want a street car that looks cool and maybe different, maybe do light to light stuff. Or do you want a car that performance wise is all around amazing stock. However either engine can make big power with simple upgrades.
I have a 09 V6 and I know it’s not a V8, but definitely understand being comfortable in a chassis. I’ve test driven a few S550s, but always went back to the S197. Eventually want to get a newer S197 or coyote swap my v6. My car has a lot of sentimental value, because my uncle rode in it with me before he passed away and I’m also 19 and it’s my first car! Love the videos!
@loscar5oh

Thank you! I love the S197 chasis myself. I had a 13' gt for a short period of time so I have a soft spot for them.
Audience, I'm thinking of purchasing a 2019 mustang gt used one owner with 4,982 miles. It would be my third add-on to my stable. I'm skeptical hearing about the coyote engine tick. Not really sure should I or NOT? Any opinions would be helpful... Thanks

I had both bought both new the Cobra would get attention no one really cared about the 2011 5.0 are you remember there were similar feeling and speed. I lived in Vegas when I had the 03 Terminator. Whenever I was bored on my nights off and felt like drag racing which was a lot because it's addictive when you want a car like this all I have to do is Cruces streets at night around 11 or 12 I could find many drag races people loved racing my Cobra I never saw another one out there typical cars with pull up on me where's the fart can Hondas which were joke they would always give me thumbs down after I destroyed them Subaru wrx's would jump off the line on me by got to reel them in and one time a Camaro SS beat me because I forgot to ship shift out of first year it was such a close race I freaked out and didn't shift I think if I would have shipped to the second gear I would have won but Terminator was very exclusive everybody wanted me to rev the engine race them or just check the car out that my job they my new name was cobra it wasn't Ron I did not make that name but that's what they called me at work most leaving the Venetian one night at 3 in the morning we are getting off work and I'm Maxima tried to race me and make my boss I smoked his ass as we were turning from Las Vegas Boulevard on to Sahara we were both burning out around the corner then once we hit the straight away he was in my rearview mirror

Very good question. There are many things I took into consideration for this. The terminator has been a car that I've always wanted since I was a kid. To me they simply sound the best and just have a very aggressive appearance. Another factor is how rare they are. I wanted to own something special that people dont really see or know about. In my case, I use my mustang as a weekend car so I didn't care too much for creature comforts and modern tech found in the s550. I like how simple the cobra is from the interior. It has a much more of a mechanical feeling which to me is more enjoyable when driving. The last thing that pushed me towards a terminator was the value of the car. Terminators have been going up in value a lot and I felt right now was the time to buy one before the prices became too high for me to be able to purchase one. I can always buy an s550 but much harder to get a cobra. On paper the the s550 is a better platform, but as a mustang enthusiasts the reasons above us what lead me to get a terminator. Just to be clear, I did own both cars at one point. I had to let one go since I didn't see no purpose of having two nice sports cars at the moment lol.

A terminator with supercharger and forged internals can’t keep up with a stock coyote car, can’t handle as good, can’t be as comfortable and the list goes on so I just don’t want to confuse a actual buyer of the 2 cars with a bunch of feelings.
