Cool story, and sweet TA!

I hear ya on the 03-04 Terminator Cobras. They're mean SOBs, and great cars all around. I want an 04 Mystichrome, or my second choice would an 03 Sonic Blue.

I'll pass on a Super Duty racing story from the original owner of my SD Formula. After waiting nine months for the car to show up he was a high school senior. The fastest car in school was a souped up mid sixties small block Corvette who was chomping at the bit to get a piece of the brand new SD Formula. They raced from a light that had a marked off quarter mile. The Formula hole shotted the Corvette across the intersection and kept the faster Corvette at its passengers door crossing the finish line... The guy refused to ever give the Corvette a second chance.

What awesome cars Pontiac built for us and gear head management cleverly got into production. Kind of the same way they started the first muscle car ERA with the 64 GTO they ended it with the Super Duty Firebird.

What were the "Terminator" Cobra's? We built quite a few of those 4.6 engines. I remember the two & three valve motors making 6-700 HP and the four valves commonly made 900-1100. We did a couple of serious builds that cranked out 1300-1400 to the rear.... I recall some of them had a special tag on the valve cover.
