Phil's 2004 Mustang Cobra Reason for driving it: Phil drives it because it has a supercharged V8, manual transmission, and is "a blast to drive". Love for the car: His love for the Terminator Cobra started when he and his brother watched iconic YouTube videos of the car; his brother was a "huge fanatic". Engine and modifications: The car has a 4.6-liter, 32-valve supercharged engine with a Ford Racing Illuminator, meaning it has an aluminum block. It also features a 3-liter Whipple supercharger. Other modifications include: The factory rotating assembly remains. Heads were gone through recently with custom "lumpy cams." An aftermarket timing kit. ARP hardware throughout. Cosmetic and Suspension modifications: It has replica factory chrome wheels that are 18 inches, whereas the originals were 17 inches. These wheels are staggered to allow for a wider tire in the back. It has clear, non-factory headlights with LED bulbs. Phil also built panels and shaved the engine bay, relocating the battery, fuse box, brake lines, and power steering lines. Suspension has been completely gone through, including Maximum Motorsports coilovers, a K member, and the Full Tilt Boogie Racing Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) kit. Interior modifications: The car has Corbeau RRB seats. These seats were a limited production, with only 20 made, and Phil owns seat numbers one and two (a set of two). Favorite part: Phil's favorite part about the car is the "raw feel" compared to newer cars. Previous car: Phil previously owned a 2019 Bullitt Mustang but sold it because he found it "just kind of boring," preferring the raw feel of the Cobra. Phil's Company: Harper Auto Fab Phil started his company, Harper Auto Fab, to build custom dress-up parts for Mustangs, especially Cobra parts. The business has been running for five years. Parts made include two-in-one tanks, red sport covers, general engine bay dress-up parts (like fill caps and covers to clean up plastic), and door seals. They also have parts for newer Mustangs (S550s), S197s, and SM95s. Phil does all the fabrication work, while other companies handle the powder coating and CNC machining. Blackbox Customs in Calgary does the powder coating and laser work, and Coal Craft Machining does the billet parts. Additional Topics Cobra relevancy: The owner notes that the car is still relevant today, evidenced by young kids recognizing it and saying, "Hey, sir, nice Terminator". Horsepower: The stock rating was 390 horsepower, which was considered conservative. Phil states that built engines with the 3-liter Whipple can push over 1,000 wheel horsepower. Phil's goal is to get his car to around 800 to 850 wheel horsepower. Price: Phil estimates that a clean Terminator today could cost around $50,000 to $60,000 Canadian. He paid $18,000 for his car 12 years ago. Favorite memory: Drag racing the car when it had the Ford Eaton supercharger, using 16-inch tires to race the quarter mile at the track. Tires: The car is running Toyo TQ drag radial 315/35/18 on the back. Viofo A119 dash cam.
