[QUOTE="Jroc, post: 12148312, member: 51847"] Exactly. T800 is trying to push them to be almost indestructible motors regardless of HP though, and I'm saying on. Trying to argue that a 03/04 Cobra is some amazingly reliable car with 700/800 HP on a OEM motor is not correct. The inherent strength of their forged components is strong enough to handle that kind of power, but some of their components are flawed for trying to support that much power. They are not flawed when trying to support near factory power or more importantly factory PSI's. An example is several years back I remember some Terminator owners making threads about doing these high speed events out in AZ or CA and they are talking about running a sustained 170 mph or better threw the desert(not that I would really want to do that in a old Mustang. Maybe a new GT500 that's made for it, but IDK) for miles and miles. Everybody was coming in there being like damn I can't believe you didn't burn up a piston of something pushing the car like that in 5th/6th gear for that long, and the OP's were like what they do to not burn up a motor is they run OEM PSI's which the motors were built to handle and tested for hours on end. They would also do the good tunes, and maybe a few exhaust, and CAI mods. Don't get me wrong I'm not discouraging people to not mod there Terminator. On the opposite I say hell yeah mod them. They're a bad ass car for it. If a L motor was as stout as a Terminator then mine wouldn't still be stock. I modded my Cobra and it was always reliable at least in terms of the mechanics of the motor.(Even though my Terminator had quite a bit of gremlins to it) What I'm saying is that just because a Terminator uses inherently strong pieces in it's factory motor, it is anything but indestructible.
