Sorry, I didn't mean Terminators. I was talking about 99-02 Cobras. They had powdered metal connecting rods and hypereutectic pistons like the current GT.

This will be the best smallblock V8 built by anybody, anywhere, ever....believe it.

Lets hope you are right! If you are i will be placing my order!

There was no 2002 cobra.

2003s were released as late in 2002s...but labelled 2003s (2003 was a LONG model run)
And there was no 2000 Cobra either, only the R's (after the 99 fiasco)

I'm with you now and thanks for clarifying.
