Personally, I'm glad that Ford is changing the name. The word "terminator" does not exactly bring the best images to mind. It far too "crude" of a word if you will for the cobra's personality. "Cobra Special" is more along the lines with what the cobra is all about -- an evolutionary experiment to turn the standard mustang into a true sports car. Thus I think Ford/SVT made a good call here.
My Rant: It's been 16 years since the fuelie 5.0 was introduced and the best Ford can offer the public is a mustang that needs a blower to make 400hp?!?!?! (excluding the cobra R which, of course, was rediculously overpriced)
The Solution: More cubic inches. I feel that if the 5.4L DOHC is too big for the mustang engine bay then the engineers need to make the engine bay larger!
