This V10-Powered 2004 Cobra Terminator Concept Turns Ford's Pony Car Into A True Viper Hunter

A V10-powered 2004 Cobra Terminator Concept imagines what could have happened if Ford’s secret V10 Mustang prototype had made it into production—specifically as a hunter for the Dodge Viper. The original idea traces back to a small engineering group in Dearborn aiming for a more serious pony car. Using castings from Ford’s 4.6-liter Modular V8, they added two cylinders to create a 351-cubic-inch, DOHC 5.8-liter V10. Power was sent through a Tremec T56 six-speed to a Ford 9-inch rear with 3.83 gears, with two ECUs needed due to an odd-firing design. The mule reportedly ran low 11s in the quarter-mile, and Ford later scaled the concept with a 6.4-liter version.
