I've always heard it's because it killed the Camaro (actually poor sales did that) or it's a Vette killer or whatever, but (and you guys can take this for what it is) I saw a video on SVTP a long ass time ago of an interview with one of the SVT engineers, and he claimed they originally came up with the title because they were tired of hearing SVT owners complaining about the shortcomings of the stock motors for the past cars. That's why they built this bad ass car with a basically bullit proof motor. They wanted to "terminate" any issues people had with making bad ass cars. Just throwing this in for the debate.
