20 Surprising Things Everyone Forgets

About The Ford Mustang

#19 - Terminator

In the early 2000s, Ford stepped outside the box and built a Mustang legend. The Mustang

SVT Cobra, be'er known as the "Terminator," was the first supercharged, forced induc/on

V8 Mustang.

And while 390 horsepower isn't all that impressive by today's standards, for its /me, the

Terminator was what led to many changes in other domes/c muscle cars.

The pony led the pack with its forward-thinking engine design. Most muscle cars that now

have superchargers can a'ribute that addi/on to the Terminator. Its use of independent

rear suspension set the car up for be'er handling. And because there were only 19,140

Terminator Mustang released, its s/ll a desirable sports car today.
