Here is a little more info on 2003 Cobra's:

The snake's MSRP was up there at $34,000-plus, but the improvements impressed the masses enough to justify the cost. Performance that was unheard of with bolt-ons was just a few mods. MM&FF modified one of the first Terminators, which ultimately ran 11.68 with just a small drive pulley, a K&N filter, the front antiroll bar removed, and M/T tires. Bone-stock it ran 12.43 at 113 mph! Owners have gone 9s since, some with mostly stock engines.

With such amazing power, prying the performance crown from the SVT Cobra owners will be difficult. The last Cobra achieved cult-like status as Terminator models have formed a formidable following of loyal enthusiasts who patrol the roads with their heads held high and their right foot ready to wake up the snake's supercharged mill. Much like the Toyota Supra in the import world, the Terminator carries the respect of the domestic crowd, and its numerous owners are eager to show you how lethal their snake's bite is. "A few years back, if you had a Mustang, the LS1 guys were like, c'mon, let's go. They don't want to touch a Cobra, though," says Richard Lelsz of Houston, Texas-based Strictly Performance.

The superior performance is evident at racetracks across America. Rumor has it the performance of Terminators, along with Corvettes and Vipers, prompted NHRA to change its 11.99-second rollbar requirement, as these cars are capable of mid-11s with just simple bolt-ons. (A rollbar is now needed at 11.49 or quicker.) But a mildly modded Cobra can run deep into the 11s, and many owners don't want to install a rollbar. Because of that, many high-horsepower Cobras never even make it to the track. This fact has spawned a new era of enthusiasts who brag about dyno numbers rather than timeslips. As you can see, the Terminator had a huge effect on the performance scene (which is the point of this article), one that might not be eclipsed by the GT500.

( Only 5,082 2003 Convertible Cobras were Produced )

Debuting in early 2002, the 2003 Cobra came with a supercharged 4.6 L DOHC engine rated at 390 hp @6000rpm and 390 ft·lbf of torque@ 3500rpm. It was later determined that Ford had under rated the Cobra, as actual SAE-corrected flywheel output was determined to be in the 390 to 400 horsepower (300 kW) range. Numerous improvements were made to the powertrain and driveline to handle the increase from the previous model year. A cast iron block was used instead of aluminum, with stronger internals including forged Zolner pistons and Manley H-beam connecting rods that were modified with a wrist pin oiling hole by the SVT engine builders. These upgrades were critical in order to support the 8 psi (60 kPa) of boost delivered from the stock Eaton M112 roots supercharger. Other improvements include the use of an aluminium flywheel connected to a Tremec T-56 six-speed transmission, 3.55:1 rear axle ratio and stronger 31 spline half shafts with revised upper and lower control arms.
