About this product

Product Information

"Like every other Mustang fan, as soon as I heard about this supercharged car I couldn't wait for it to be built." -William Clay Ford, Jr. Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Ford Motor Company A factory supercharged Ford Mustang had long been on the wish list of muscle car fans, but it took the passion of a single man to make it happen: O. John Coletti. Coletti? That was one name in the Ford Motor Company phone book guaranteed to stir up differing opinions among the huge auto manufacturer's upper management. Maverick or visionary? Tyrant or leader? One thing was certain about the mercurial Coletti: he had an unswerving faith in the value of high performance. And after almost single-handedly rescuing the Ford Mustang from discontinuation via a covert, renegade program, Coletti had ridden his notoriety into his own throne within Ford-as head of the elite Special Vehicle Team. But in late 2000, Coletti stretched the boundaries of his own legend, abruptly canceling the division's highly-anticipated 2002 Mustang Cobra while disrupting marketing plans and enraging SVT's network of dealers. This is the untold story of how Coletti's performance mandate led to the creation of a car known as the "Terminator", the 2003-4 Ford SVT Mustang Cobra. How did a major American auto manufacturer secretly create a vehicle that turned the performance world on its ear? Iron Fist, Lead Foot takes readers deep behind the scenes for the answers.

  • Awesome especially if you have a Terminator

    I guess im a little biased seeing as I own a 2003 Terminator and Im currently an engineering student, but this book truly is awesome, An uncommon tale of an uncommon man doing something very different in the all too common world of mundane auto building. Shows how a single man backed by an amazing team of engineers did what man consider impossible while facing the risk of losing his career if the car failed to sell. If your a ford fan , cobra owner, svt enthusiast, engineer or if you find the engineering design process interesting this is definitely the book for you. Goes to show how in a third of the time it takes most companies to completely design a car, Fords SVT division completely re-made the cobra into a car that was faster and handled better than any other mustang, porsche, bmw or ...

  • You want information on the Terminator Cobra? Go get a copy!

    I bought this book because I have a 2004 Terminator. This book is full of facts. I love that it tells the roots of how this amazing journey started. I would recommend this to any Mustang aficionado and especially to any 03-04 Terminator owner. John Coletti is a genius when it came to muscle cars. He saved Ford from committing a very big mistake, which gave us this tire melting, supercharger whining, road handling and great looking car. Thank you John. Go and get a copy now!

  • No technical information at all

    The whole book can be summed up in one sentence. Colette said that 01 was slow, then we worked hard to make 03 fast. That’s it nothing else. Barely one page on Pardo’s work. Minimal photos. We use special racing parts, but yeah why is that part so special? I deeply regretted paying money for this book.
