I agree with you on this. A SVT cobra would be a lot less dressed or I would at least prefer it to be.

Oh Man, I am digging the rendering of the Terminator. I like everything about it, but it does need Boss 302 side pipes. The way Terminator is boldly molded into the rear is perfect. The SVT Cobra looks really good on the back for the competition to see as the SVT Cobra flies by. One thing about the 2015 Mustang, is that it the body design can be modified to look good in most renderings.

Idk the first two just seem too busy in most aspects but the next two are clean and mean. Much like the 99-01 and 03-04 cobras.

Second pic:
The name plastered on the back is just wrong. All of it.
The exhaust tips are stupid. Just... no.
The airdam is also gimmicky and wouldn't fly.

I do like the black stripe, though, that's kinda cool, although I'm disappointed it didn't extend to the back in the second pic. And those tail lights are just the coolest ones in a while from Ford, but that has nothing to do with this rendering.

And the name Terminator is not a thing. At least, I hope not. It should be Cobra or Boss.
That's my thoughts in about a minute after seein' them.
I AGREE completely! A car shouldn't have to scream it's name in large print. It's just ridiculous looking. And Terminator was really just the name of the engine, right?

It haven't seen COYOTE on anyone's bumpers recently.

Here is my list for a SVT Cobra:
1. Heat extractor hood 03/04 style.
2. Corba badges on the side instead of 5.0
3. Roush front fascia would look great.
4. Cobra badge in grill.
5. Supercharged Coyote engine.
6. Rear bumper with Cobra imbedded, much like they did with the Terminator pic.
7. Mid muffler setup for sound.
? Unique SVT wheels.

This. I would hope they would never plaster terminator on it. The badge on the trunk lid isn't bad though. IMO the nickname terminator should begin and end with the 03-04 nostalgia. Bringing that nickname to another version of mustang would be disrespecting the true terminators out there!

Terminator was the project name of the SVT Cobra of '03. Not just its engine.

Ah thanks, I wasn't totally sure about that. I guess I thought the nickname stemmed from the engine. I thought the car was pretty much the same except for that, my bad.

Talking

The Mustang is ready for an all new special edition. Terminator would be a good attention getting name for it. It is too late to use Hellcat.

Some trivia, the side scoops at least are stamped Terminator on the inside. I don't know if any other parts bear the Terminator nickname ( cant remember if the rods do or don't??????? )

Another nice render.........I like the fender flares and more pronounced hood. I'm not really expecting either on GT350, but I like this look none the less

This is what I had pictured in my head. Add a heat extractor hood and we are gold.

For the record, Twin Turbo's GT350 image is the only "rendering" posted in this thread. Everything else is just sad photoshop hack jobs.

If we are going to get technical your sentence makes very little sense.

Fixed it for you.

See I can be an a$$wipe as well.
