There's no shortage of impressive cars among the LMR family and that includes one of the most unique and sought-after Mustangs ever produced: The 2004 SVT Cobra Mystichrome. The car is named after its paint, which shifts between shades of blue, purple, green, and bronze depending on the lighting and viewing angle. Only 1010 of these bad boys were produced (515 coupes and 495 convertibles) between December of 2003 and January of 2004. LMR's own Tony Messina owns this one. So, will the Terminator Cobra surpass it's looks in performance or is it just a cool car to look at? Let's find out!

In this video, the LMR crew has an immaculate 2004 Mystichrome Cobra on the dyno. This car belongs to Tony Messina. He is a tenured LMR employee with 20+ years of service at the time of this video. He's had his fair share of cool cars over the years, and this Mystichrome Cobra is one of his more recent pickups. It's definitely rocking period-correct Cobra-esque stuff including a 2.8 upper pulley, aftermarket air box, Bassani exhaust, and a few other doodads throughout the car. Long live the Terminator Cobra! (P.S. - We hate the word terminator. Lol!)
