Terminator 03-04 Cobra would be great to see.!
I wouldn’t mind seeing the mid-90s 5.8 Cobra again, either.

I will pay whatever it costs to have an 03/04 cobra in game. It’s the one car I care about over all other cars and it’s the one that never seems to make it into forza. It’s a legendary car, more so than even the 2000 cobra r or the 1995 cobra r, both of which have been in the game.

I think the 2003/ 2004 SVT cobra should be chosen. It’s basically the most well known and coveted 99-04 mustang. It also easily opens the door for basically all of the other desired options. Here’s how:

To please the most amount of people, put these body kits into it or onto the 00 cobra r as well. Maybe update the cobra R with the same body kits I’m about to mention, and add 4.6L 2v 260hp engine swap option, and gt body kit too?

Anyways back to the 03-04 svt cobra, have these available body kits for it. By doing them in the body kits you’ll please virtually everyone.

•2004 saleen S281E front/sides/rear/hood/spoiler
•2004 mach1 front/sides/rear/shaker hood/spoiler
•2004 Roush 380R fr/sides/rear/hood/spoiler
•Forza aero just as the 03 cobra bumpers.

Engine/ swaps wise, do this to please everyone

•let the stock 03 cobra engine peak at 1050 to 1200hp fully built turbo/supercharged/cams et al. I’ll explain later as to why. (Stock longblocks did survive at 1188whp!!!)

•305hp 4v 4.6L v8 (new to Forza. 2003 mach1 engine, downgrade much like Forza Motorsport has some lower hp engine swaps, very cool.)
^huge win if you do this, promise. Let it top out at 800-900hp or so similar to the 00 cobra R engine

These next engine swaps are easy as they are already in game. Should be relatively edit copy edit paste situation.

•5.0L coyote 460hp 2019 mustang gt
•5.2L 526hp voodoo fpc 2016 gt350r engine
•5.2L 760hp 2020 gt500 preditor engine
•nascar 850hp 5.6L v8 (iirc) goes to 1300hp iirc
•1500hp v8 capable engine (from 93 cobra r foxbody mustang already in game.
•twin turbo race v8 that makes 1750hp fully built. It’s in game on like the raptor and I think the

Don’t do the v10 or v12 swaps. Most people building it will want the sound of a v8. Promise.

There you go, many many many mustang people happy. Probably many tuner people as well. There’s like 600 votes for a mustang from this era.

•someone can build a Saleen or Roush with 300-400hp if they swap in the 4.6 Mach engine and na or lightly supercharge build it very similar to how those cars were (except 6spd manual but hey) they can also build saleen/Roush-terminator cobra’s which were absolutely extremely super rare and cool-think like less than 50 were ever made between 2003/4 from Saleen and Roush combined! Someone can even build a ā€œmachinatorā€ which is very popular with mach1 fans. (Wrecked terminator cobra blower/t56 transmission/ IRS suspension, brakes etc onto a mach1) and so much more like a very light 8500rpm voodoo build or a super high horse drag build. I think this would please lots and lots of people.

•include the 4spd drag racing transmission option, drag radials etc so people can mimic an automatic. If they want to mimick the 5spd manual mustangs, they could buy the racing 6spd and basically delete 6th by copying the 5th gear value (likely .70 ask me how I know they’d do that tr3650 overdrive ratio…)

•include a factory mystichrome paint choice. It was optional in 2004. Switched blue/greenish/purple. Please not as a convertible though. Doug Demuro did a video on a convertible Mystichrome 2004 cobra and great as it is, many mustang people prefer the coupes. There was also saleen a rainbow color but we can make that ourselves via paint.

Sn95! I still love you too.
(And you guys would be rockstars to also try to get an sn95 in! My 2nd vote after a 2003 terminator is the 95 cobra R in a later update with gt/saleen body kits like before in fh3 but also please let us change the taillights to vertices too as a ā€œroofā€ upgrade or similar much like some cars have ā€œroofā€ police sirens etc so we could do various 96-98 mustang builds easier)

Geek warning. This will appeal to car people more than gamers. Enjoy.

The terminator cobra hit the magic that reignited modern muscle car segment. Just as YouTube was starting to get big in2003, you could find video’s of 500-1000whp 03 cobras, all on stock long blocks, doing things MK4 Supra’s and Grand Nationals did… humiliate heavily modified cars with built engines and on and on for blue collar money. A $33k cobra with a $10k complete turbo kit (fuel/cooling/head gaskets/head studs included ) and $3k of rear suspension mods could make 1188whp on stock long block with the Hellion Hellrsiser compound boost kit that KEPT the Eaton supercharger. That stock long block was handling 45lbs of intake manifold pressure and making 1188whp!!! In 2003! That’s ridiculously overbuilt from the factory. Google this, it’s awesome and promise it happened. Anyways here’s the highlights of why these cars are and were so cool especially for their time and how they kick started modern muscle much like the 1964 gto Le Mans tempest did for that era:

•cheap/exceptional value
•great clean and mean styling (thank you Camilo Pardo! He led the 2005 GT super car design team at the same time as well)
•great bone stock performance (like really great)
•tasteful interior changes (seats/wheel/shifter etc)
•fun to drive stock or modified (watch YouTube vids of people laughing and having fun driving these)
•easy to modify and personalize. Lego like.
•loads of future potential to build your own way (much like we all love how buildable and tunable Japanese cars from Honda/Nissan/Subaru/Mazda etc 80’a and 90’s were)

ā€œSavagegeeseā€ (excellent YouTube channel) did an excellent video on the terminator cobra and in conclusion said roughly ā€œit feels like it was crafted from one piece. It reminds me of the s550 gt350. It’s that good. I’m blown away a car this old can be this good to driveā€ that’s incredible praise for a $33k car from 2003 guys. They also hated the interior Hahahah

A book ā€œIron Foot Lead Fistā€ really tells the story. I’ll stop but could honestly go on for hours.

Thank you for taking time to read and or consider any of these comments. Thank you for the excellent games and amazing team and community you have manifested!

They need to add it already 94 or 95 with horizontals itd be better then the 2000 svt

My opinion on the matter, to solve the issues of people wanting a specific model i feel they should add both the 1995 cobra r and the 03/04 cobra or maybe a gt new edge but be able to swap bumpers, hoods, wings, skirts, drivetrains, ect (lets not forget about saleens also!) so when someone wants to build one they can build exactly what they want or get pretty dang close. you can’t please everyone but i feel it would make all of us happy to see at least the terminator in the game. this 2000 cobra r ain’t cutting it. the termi was the real life changer for most of us not just a showroom piece like the cobra r.

here’s my personal mustang:

I just discovered that the ā€œTerminatorā€ is actually the codename for the 2003-04 Mustang. I thought Terminator is the most powerful version of the '03-'04 Mustang SVT Cobra. My bad.

Well everyone, the Terminator Mustang is added to FH5! Enjoy with it as long as you want!!!

The 2003 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra joins the FH5 roster in March 2024 as part of the Horizon Race-Off series.
