an excellent book for the svt or mustang cobra enthusiast. helps you appreciate these great cars even more.

I just finished reading this book a 2nd time. I have owned a 2004 SVT Redfire Cobra coupe since it was new. I keep it in prisitine condition and only drive it during the Summer. Reading this book helps me to appreciate how special this car is. It is absolutely the best bang for the buck you can get for a modern muscle performance car. A must read for any 03/04 Cobra owner.

i bought an 03 redfire cobra a few months ago and i bought this book to read up on the development of the car. good read, great car!

Those that know Mustangs, have to know that the 03/04 COBRA is the best bang for the buck muscle car that Ford has produced. SVT is not what it was and after reading this book, you'll get a glimps into how Coletti was passionate and dedicated to giving SVT customers everything they deserved for their money. I love how you get a behind the scene look into how the last SVT COBRA made by Ford, came to be. Every TERMINATOR owner should have a copy of this book.

Great behind the scenes look at what is one of the greatest performance bargains ever made.

What a great down to earth story of Ford's disbanded SVT group. One of the best automotive books out there.

If you are into 2003-2004 Ford Cobra mustangs then this is a must read book. It goes behind the scenes to tell you the tale of the legendary first supercharged Mustang that almost didn't happen.

"The Terminator" code name for the 2003/2004 model years of the SVT Mustang Cobra. This book is the absolute definitive narrative of the developement and ultimately the introduction of this truely world class automobile. I am a member of a very exclusive club as an owner of one of these great cars.. Mine is a Dark Shadow Grey convertible which makes it one of about 500 and knowing how many were built and the fact that the DSG was only offered in the 03 model year was a very enlightening moment. This book has taken my ownership expeience to the maximum level possible and To be able to live vicariously through the eyes of the people who brought this car to life has allowed me to fully understand just exactly what I have and has instilled an even greater sense of pride in owning my 03 Terminator.
This book was well written and totally comprehensive. The chapter on engine development and building was both amusing and informative and actually included the guy that led the two man team that built my engine.
If you do not own a Terminatir you are missing out on a great experience, but if you are just a Ford fanatic this is still a must read because it is an important part of the Ford History and will be looked back upon as a defining moment in the continuing growth and developement of the Mustang.

If you have an 03-04 cobra this is the book to get. it was outstanding.

This is a must read for any owner of a 2003 Ford Mustang Cobra - aka "Terminator."
Lots of background information and detail. I couldn't put it down!!
My only complaint is that there isn't more of it to read, the book is a little short. But otherwise it's simply awesome! Well worth the cost of purchase!!
