Hey Mr. Clean. I just got noticed that the 427 SOHC thread was updated, so here it is:

Easier than searching for it.

So my education on Terminators continues....the stock engines have 4V heads and forged internals? That's amazing....

What about your transmission?
What about your suspension?
What about your fuel system?
What about your clutch?

Terms have better rods than GT500's. They have Manley 4340 H-beam rods rated at 700HP at 7500 RPM. The engine is flat out amazing. 20 PSI boost on stock internals = no problem. An 05+ GT will disintegrate at that level.

Uh, no.
Tell that to the guys trying to launch at 5k on slicks......Ive seen many a terminator still sitting at the line after attempting that. I'll take my live axle 05' any day over the IRS. Im talking about drag racing here, road racing might be a different story.

Ah it's all about the power potential of the cobra. Something the 05+'s definatly don't have. Forged internals and 4V heads go a long way.

your last line says it best, tell your argument to a guy that might not ever run his car at a drag strip. mine has been down three times, there arent many more than that. i have yet to launch the car hard either.
different strokes for different fokes, hopefully in about 5 years i can find a white terminator convertible to add to the collection.

I would def. love to park a black term right next to the 05 which is getting new suspension, brakes, internals, heads, drive shaft, (possibly tranny)and supercharger next yr.

Live axles never have issues, like this GT500:

Holy cow!! I can't believe this thread has caused so much trouble.
I believe the nickname "Terminator" derived from the car during the build process. It is the codename that SVT used and referenced. The new GT 500's codename was Condore.
To answer the questions: Yes, I purchased the car and love it. The handling with the IRS is awesome and the power speaks for itselft. I do miss the larger interior of the s197, as well as the shaker 500, but everytime I throttle down and hear the blower whine .
Here are a few pics.
